Study Tour to Spain & Portugal
May 11 - 25, 2008
Would you like to travel to Spain and Portugal? Would you like to earn six-hours of credit while learning about the business and culture of these countries? Then join us Maymester 2008 as we travel through the Iberian Peninsula.
Few places in Europe can match Spain and Portugal for their tourist industry and retail savvy. The beauty and cultural wealth of the Iberian lands takes us from a remote past of Christian, Jewish and Moorish tradition to a European present. As member states of the European Union, Spain and Portugal both prosper as vacation hubs and places to learn about how cultures meet and interact.
Our journey to Iberia will happen in two parts. First we will visit Madrid, the political and cultural capital of Spain, soaking in Spanish culture and experiencing first hand Spanish business practices. Here a stroll down the Gran Vía or a visit to the Palacio Real or spending time in the Prado Museum takes us to the heart of Spanish business and culture. Then we will move to Toledo, heart of the Spanish tradition of sword making and a Mecca of the tourist industry. During the second part of our expedition, we will journey to Lisbon, capital and cultural center of Portugal, listening to Fado as we calmly walk down the streets of the Alfama and the Chiado. Finally, we end our journey in Albufeira, a tourist haven in the south coast of Portugal.
