The sensation you get as you walk down streets looking at storefronts that have been around for centuries and past buildings that were built so high without all of today’s technology and resources can be really powerful.  You can learn about them in your history class, but you can only understand it all by being here.  Wouldn’t you like to take it all in for yourself?

León is known for being right in the middle of everything.  At just half an hour from the mountains and an hour from the beach, you can go skiing, hiking, surfing, do adventure sports, shower under a waterfall, swim in the clear waters of the river sources, walk through enchanted forests, enter beautiful caves and just about anything you can imagine.

Churros and thick hot chocolate for breakfast, a slice of Spanish potato omelet mid-morning, stews and paella for lunch, pastries and “bocadillos” on delicious Spanish bread as an early-evening snack, a couple of tapas before supper and, finally, a light meal before bed.  Spaniards always seem to be eating and this is especially true in León where the tapas are free!  Doesn’t it sound tempting?

One of the best things about studying abroad is making friendships that last a lifetime.  Our Spanish buddy program will help you do just that - meet locals your age who you'll be able to come back and visit whenever you want.  Would you like us to help you meet people your age during your stay?

Would you like to become fluent in Spanish, try some Spanish dancing, have some great tapas, experience real Spanish fiestas, build long-lasting friendships and enjoy the mountains, the beaches, the cities and towns all at the same time? Join us this summer!
