Your teen will learn Spanish, then immediately put it to use exploring iconic places across Spain’s two largest cities. They’ll practise pronunciations as they create glass art in Barcelona, which they can bring home with them (as long as they pack it safely enough!). This tour is a fantastic way for them to connect with the rich history and lively spirit of Spain, all while honing their Español with lovely locals.
