At a Glance

Located in the sunny south of Spain, Sevilla is a 2,200-year-old city that was made wealthy by the New World — hulking Spanish galleons would sail here to have their treasures from the Americas counted and taxed. Have your own enriching experience of Seville — Sevilla in Spanish — on this immersive six-week adventure. Stay in an apartment, learn to “hablar español” in daily language classes and get to know the city and its proud Andalusian culture intimately. Throughout your stay, you’ll be supported by a Road Scholar Group Leader who’s on call to help.
Activity Level
Let's Go!
Get around the city mainly on foot each day; you’re likely to walk at least two miles per day. On field trips, walking up to three miles with uneven terrain, slopes and stairs. Activity level is based on included program elements.

What You'll Learn

  • Live like a Sevillano, moving into an apartment and savoring the Andalusian capital’s history, flamenco music and sunny climate.
  • Improve your Spanish during classes at a renowned language school whether you’re a beginner or speak “un poquito de español."
  • Join your Group Leader and fellow participants for field trips and excursions to Granada and Madrid.

General Notes

Our “Living and Learning” programs give you the experience of living in a foreign country independently. Included: an apartment; a local, full-time Group Leader to support you; a few meals; four language classes per week; a weekly expert-led field trip; a weekly cafe social; weekend excursions to Granada and Madrid, including hotel; a city handbook and public transit pass. Due to the special nature of this program, we regret that we are unable to match solo participants with roommates.
