Cádiz, founded in approximately 1,100 B.C., is the oldest city in Europe. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Cádiz is only accessible by the “Puerta de Tierra,” a strip of land that once served as protection from invasion, and now serves as the only entrance into the city. Though many ancient ruins are now covered by the ocean or modern construction, the rich history of Cádiz is evident everywhere. Monuments, cathedrals, palaces, mansions and homes have been restored to add to the modern beauty of the city. Visitors delight in the Catedral Vieja, Catedral Nueva, the Museo Provincial and the Museo Histórico. Cádiz is known for its charm, great seafood, relaxed atmosphere, clean air and warm southern Spanish hospitality. API students can see why people settled here centuries ago, and why they come today to “step back in time” to experience a true southern Spanish lifestyle.

Each student’s Spanish language proficiency will improve as they settle into the welcoming and open atmosphere of the city of Cádiz. By living with a family and experiencing life in Cádiz, API students have abundant opportunities to use and improve their language skills while learning about life in this historic European city.

Students have to be self-motivated to learn and grades are typically based on 1 or 2 exams. That being said, I found the workload to be manageable and the grading system to be fair.

Bring more money that you think. Plan lots of your own travel plans, because even though the program travels, it's not that much. view full review

Yes, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. I gave this program a 5 star rating because of the sheer amount of improvement in my Spanish and the knowledge I gained of another culture during my semester abroad. Studying in Spain is a fabulous way to get to know the origins of Spanish speaking cultures in the world and to explore a rich, European culture of the present d... view full review
