CIEE places participants in urban, town and rural areas all over Andalusia. Andalusia is a vibrant Autonomous Region in southern Spain flanked by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and the rest of Spain to the north. It is bursting with quaint pueblo blanco villages, traditional cities, and an unbeatable culture. Whether you prefer a merienda or late night tapas, the culinary options in Andalusia are boundless. From olives of the heartland to the fresh catch in the Mediterranean, taste buds are never ignored. The birthplace of flamenco, Picasso, and Antonio Banderas is also home to the national sport corrida de toros, a tradition enjoyed or loathed by locals and visitors alike. The countless fiestas and long siestas all contribute to the unique customs of Andalusia.
