Location
Andalusia is a vibrant Autonomous Region in southern Spain flanked by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and the rest of Spain to the north. It is bursting with quaint pueblo blanco villages, traditional cities, and an unbeatable vibrant culture! Whether you prefer a merienda or late night tapas, the culinary options in Andalusia are boundless. From olives of the heartland to the fresh catch in the Mediterranean, taste buds are never ignored. The birthplace of flamenco, Picasso, and Antonio Banderas is also home to the national sport corrida de toros, a tradition enjoyed or loathed by locals and visitors alike. The countless fiestas and long siestas all contribute to the unique customs of perennially sunny Andalusia.

The romantic city of Seville, capital of Andalusia, was one of the last footholds of the great Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the dashing Don Juan, the ingenious barber of Seville, and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velazquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000 people, Seville offers an amazing choice of cultural activities, from flamenco theaters to classical, pop, and jazz concerts.

Program Fee
Depending on the program and optional add-ons you choose, CIEE Teach in Spain programs range from USD 950 to USD 4,900.
