Spain Study Abroad Announces College Study Abroad Programs for 2011-2012 in Cadiz

April 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Austin, Texas (April 8, 2011) – Spain Study Abroad, the leading provider of high quality Spanish immersion programs for college students, is pleased to announce its 2011-2012 program sessions in Cadiz, Spain.  Find out more about these incredible study abroad opportunities now.

Founded 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians, Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe. Due to its commercial importance and location on the Andalusian Atlantic coast, this peninsula has been able to preserve a valuable historical legacy that is only enhanced by its excellent beaches and exquisite regional cuisine. Unlike most other ports of its size, it is a relaxed and easy going town even at night. Perhaps this is due to its reassuring shape and size with the presence of the sea making it impossible to get lost for more than a few blocks.

“Cadiz maintains a unique Moorish influence that is an integral part of the Spanish culture. With its intriguing cobblestone streets, long white houses, and golden domed cathedral in the center of town, it offers the perfect environment for study abroad where you can be fully immersed in the Spanish language and the culture.” said Jeremy Goodwin, Spain Study Abroad co-founder and director.

Students participating in the SSA’s Cadiz programs will have the opportunity to study at the Universidad de Cadiz. Founded in 1979, the Universidad de Cadiz draws on educational traditions of the city and the province of Andalusia. Internationalization is strong at the University, above all under the framework of the European Space for Higher Education.  Students will study at the very conveniently located campus within the city of Cadiz, a short walk or bus ride from all housing accommodations and the beach

"I learned more Spanish in just 6 weeks of classes in Spain than I have in over a year at home”, said one of the participants in Spain Study Abroad’s Cadiz programs. “Also, the Cadiz program was well rounded, with free time to travel around and really feel like we lived as locals in the city, not just visiting as tourists.”
