From joining an impromptu salsa dance circle in Plaza de Mina to organizing a cookout on the beach, you will have many opportunities to experience the infectious gaditano spirit of a carefree, warm approach to living (and loving) life. Located on the Costa de la Luz, Spain’s southern Atlantic coast, and famous for its enthralling culture, unique history, and glorious beaches, Cádiz is popular with young people and families from all over Spain. “Venga! Ven a bailar con nosotros!”
During your four weeks in Cádiz you’ll become a part of the local community — so be ready to practice your Spanish! This unique living experience complements the daily program itinerary of classes, activities, and excursions to ensure you have a diverse and authentic exposure to the Spanish language, lifestyle, and culture.
“This program was terrific and immersive—- not just with language but with the culture itself. Living in the center of the city made me feel like a local. I loved the mix of spontaneous activities like surfing and salsa classes as well as free time like shopping and chilling by the beach. It was the best summer of my life and i could not reccomend it more.” – Emily Zentz, 13 July 2024

Jumping Back Into the Real World You’ve just had the most incredible experience studying abroad with Abbey Road Programs. You’ve said your goodbyes to your new friends, host family, classmates, and teachers. You have integrated into a new culture and learned more about yourself than you might have imagined. You have dined, explored, danced, hiked, and lived. So now that you've returned home from one of the best high school summer programs in Europe, what do you do now? For many students, coming home can be unexpectedly difficult. ...
Our students come from all over the United States, some of them – from all over the world. The typical group size is between 20 and 40 students, there are usually more girls than boys. The students will have the option of flying on the chaperoned “designated” flight from JFK to the program site (if there is a sufficient number), or flying independently. We will meet all students at the arrival airport and take them to the program residence. We encourage our students to arrive between the hours of 12 noon and 5 pm local time.
Our students will eat authentic, balanced, quality local and international food at local cafés and restaurants. We do not do fast food, cafeteria food, or tourist traps. Our students will have a chance to sample authentic European and international cuisine, including French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Mediterranean, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Mexican and others.
In the mornings, students will have breakfast before the morning classes. Breakfast will typically include coffee, tea, juice, eggs, pastries, fruit, sandwiches, and more. For lunch, students will typically have sandwiches, salad, pasta, tapas, sushi, pizza, burgers, seafood, meat, vegetables, or other foods. A typical dinner will usually include pasta, salad, steak, seafood, burger, chicken, sushi, ramen, vegetables, tikka masala, paella, and other delicious dishes.
We tailor the menu to our students’ preferences and give them plenty of choices. We accommodate vegetarian, vegans, kosher, and other diets.
