Spain Teenager Study Abroad
Salamanca Summer Camp
From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
Known as “La Dorada,” or the Golden City, for the unique glow of its sandstone buildings, Salamanca is one of the five Spanish cities declared by UNESCO as a Mankind Heritage site. The world’s second oldest university is here, with a student population of 30,000 (5,000 of whom are foreigners) that provides a lively atmosphere throughout the city. The famous Plaza Mayor is the central gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The plaza, regarded as one of the finest squares in Europe, is currently used primarily for concerts. Next to the main square is the Central Market of Salamanca with typical fresh products of Spain available for purchase.
School Facilities: Salamanca Summer Camp is located in the old walled part of the city’, the heart of the historic center. The facilities include: classrooms, large conference room, a video room, a computer room, student residences, a
