Spanish on board. Immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture in the Mediterranean Sea

Students on this course will learn about the Spanish language and culture while sailing the Mediterranean Sea. On board our unique sailboat, the Cervantes Saavedra, you will learn to communicate in Spanish and to live the Mediterranean lifestyle through nautical, sports and gastronomic activities. We will stop at various places in the Balearic Islands, including unique places that are key to preserving the environment, and you will learn important basic safety and navigation skills.

This course is aimed at students who wish to learn and experience a unique Spanish language and culture and environmental programme aboard a ship in the Mediterranean Sea.
