With its vastness of mountain ranges, coasts, cliffs, and coves that look like they inspired a Bob Ross painting, you can choose from a diverse array of landscapes to muse while sipping sangria and discussing schoolwork with your new amigos. Below are some popular hot-hot-hot summer study programs in Spain:

Barcelona. The second most populous city in Spain—located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula and facing the Mediterranean Sea—will make students who are studying arts and sports giddy with delight. Take a tour through the immense stadium of Camp Nou where you can interact with galleries and breathe in the football (soccer) fun. Later, you can explore the twists and turns of the whimsical Gaudí’s Park Güell to see the mosaics of columns, roofs, and statues, which will remind you of a Willy Wonka wonderland.

Madrid. The heart of Spain may close some of its restaurants and bars in the summer, but this city is still the center for nightlife and culture where you can explore sights like Retiro Park and the Debod Temple. While here, you can meet your classmates at La Puerta del Sol, stroll and shop along the Gran Via, and gaze at hundreds of paintings in the air-conditioned Museo del Prado. Throughout the summer, you’ll experience the exuberant colors and diversity of this capital city with its summer music festivals and exhibitions, like Vida Festival and PhotoEspaña.

Seville. In this pedestrian-friendly college town in southwest Spain, your eyes will sparkle in delight from seeing the stunning architecture of the Renaissance and Gothic styles of palaces and cathedrals. After your day excursions strolling through and learning about the Alcázar of Seville, the Museo de Baile Flamenco, and the Catedral de Santa María de la Sede, you can relax with your classmates at a tapas bar and try some savory seafood. To cool off from the heat of the summer, you even take a trip on the Guadalquivir River.
