In 2010, UNESCO inscribed traditional Mexican cuisine on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Mexico's cultural and natural diversity is best shown through its food. With your Spanish instructors, you will visit the colorful markets. You will learn about the ingredients and try them in the traditional food stalls, where women prepare simple but delicious dishes.

Gastronomy & Cooking
SPAIN
Spain has some of the best food in the world. Paella, Spanish omelet, and Iberian ham are world-famous. But there's more to it than that. The country has hundreds of miles of rivers and is surrounded by the Cantabrian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic. All that water means lots of great seafood. And of course, Spain also has some of the best wines in the world.

DEBBIE B
Definitely, Spain is so much more than paella, Iberian ham, olives and wine. I had a great time eating fresh fish in a chiringuito on the beach surrounded by the dunes of La Doñana national Park. Or having a meal at the local foodmarket, where everything is prepared with fresh ingredients straight from the counter. And of course, preparing an arroz negro during a cooking class. This was a great way to improve my Spanish! And good to know: although you can eat tortillas in Spain and Mexico, they are different things :-)
Fiestas & Ferias
Local celebrations offer a memorable way to immerse yourself in Spanish and connect with the people and traditions of your destination.
Fiestas & Ferias
MEXICO
Día de Muertos. One of Mexico’s most distinctive traditions, its Indigenous festivities dedicated to the dead are recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Fiestas & Ferias
SPAIN
Feria de Sevilla. Language is culture, and the Feria de Sevilla is probably the best way to experience the language, culture and gastronomy of Spain.
