4 Tips for Studying Abroad in Spain

So you’ve chosen to study Spanish in Spain. Lucky you! There is so much to do, where should you start? Read our tips for studying abroad in Spain to find out!

1. Punto de Informacion: Every city and town has a punto de informacion (information center) where you can find maps, museum info, bus and train schedules. Guidebooks are excellent resources to get some of this information in advance, as well.
2. Transportation: Spain has one of the most modern and efficient train transportation systems (www.renfe.es), and it is the best way to travel between cities. But, if you want to get around within the big cities, you can always take the subway in Madrid or Barcelona.
3. Food: You should try the typical Spanish dishes: paella, jamon Serrano, tortilla de patata, gazpacho…the list goes on!
4. Entertainment: Catch a flamenco show in a theatre, or see an equally enthralling dance by the street performers in the plaza. Endless museums of art as well as examples of Roman, Moorish, Gallic and other architecture abound. Spain is known for a vibrant nightlife, which for the most courageous can last well into the next day!
