Overall Experience
I always thought that I would do well in another country and it was cool to see how much I began to fit into everyday life.

The experience that API provided me has encouraged me to try to go abroad again. I plan on teaching in the region in the near future. Not only has the experience raised my level of spanish, I now understand the European culture much better. - Pacific University View Entire Review

I gained not only knowledge of Spanish culture, but knowledge of myself, the opportunity to "soul search", enrichment, great friends, confidence and fluency in the Spanish language.

About

Seville, capital of Andalusia and Spain’s 4th largest city, is located between the Sierra Morena mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoying culture from the Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians throughout the ages, and serving as the focal point of the Spanish Renaissance, Seville is rich in history and tradition. When visiting Seville one can experience the city as it was centuries ago. The lovely winding streets and active public squares of the Barrio Santa Cruz allow the visitor insight into the oldest portion of the city, and the list of monuments and historic sites is seemingly endless. The Tower of Gold once served as landmark for arriving ships and Seville’s amazing Cathedral houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The 12th century Moorish palace, the Alcázar, is the oldest palace-fortress still in use by European royalty. While studying, exploring the streets, visiting museums, or soaking up Spanish culture, API students in Seville gain a broad education in Spanish language and civilization.
