    Overview

    Witness very different cultures that have collided over the past centuries in these two amazing countries, then witness how those influences remain today in the medinas of bustling Spanish and Moroccan city centers. Taste iconic dishes, visit historic sites, and practice your Spanish every day. Stay in a local village in the High Atlas Mountains and connect with the local community as we share and learn more about each other's unique cultures. 

    Discover for yourself what it means to be a local in two distinct locales. In Seville, stay in the center of the old quarter, where in centuries past, when Seville was the center of the world, statesmen and explorers used to conduct trade and board boats to discover new lands. Learn “real,” Andalusian Spanish, then practice by ordering tapas, joining locals as they meander through historic city streets sampling little bites at restaurant after restaurant late into the night.

    In the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, enjoy a welcoming cup of mint tea on the rooftop terrace overlooking Azzaden valley, where each small village is an interconnected smattering of medieval houses constructed with earth of the hillside, so seamlessly integrated you feel at once part of the valley, and in a whole new world. Join the Amazigh community to help with daily chores, engage in conversations about cultural differences, and play soccer with fellow teenagers.
