Join us for a 13-day pilgrimage experience in Galicia and Santiago de Compostela. Students will explore beautiful landscapes and rich traditions while participating in interactive language workshops. With all logistics managed, they can immerse themselves in local culture and enhance their Spanish skills during this transformative journey.
Students will embark on a unique cultural and language journey through Galicia, combining the scenic beauty of northern Spain with the rich historical tradition of the Camino de Santiago. This 13-day experience begins in Santiago de Compostela, the endpoint of the famous pilgrimage route. Here, students will engage in Spanish workshops, connecting the language with the cultural significance of the cathedral and the Camino.
From Santiago, students will explore Galicia’s coastal charm, visiting the Rías Baixas and interacting with local fishermen, practicing conversational Spanish while learning about the region’s fishing traditions. A highlight of this trip is a day spent walking a section of the Camino de Santiago, reflecting on the centuries-old practice of pilgrimage and the diverse people it brings together. Through local exchanges and immersive activities, students will develop their language skills in a meaningful, historically rich context. The trip wraps up with a visit to a Galician vineyard, where students will learn about the local wine-making process, before returning to Santiago for a final reflection session.
