Wonderful Trip to Barcelona and Valencia

I recently completed a Spanish Homestay Immersion with Spanish Express, and it was an unforgettable experience. I spent one week in Valencia with Pilar, where I learned Spanish alongside Christine from the U.S. We enjoyed lessons on Pilar's terraces, explored Valencia’s historic center and the Albufera, and savored authentic paella.

The next three weeks were in Barcelona with Mónica, her parents, and their two Golden Retrievers. My lessons combined formal sessions and on-the-go learning as we visited iconic sites like the Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell, and Casa Milà. We used workbooks and played Spanish games, making learning both fun and immersive. The experience culminated in a surprise flamenco show arranged by Mónica.

This program greatly improved my Spanish and deepened my understanding of Spanish culture, history, and gastronomy. It was an enriching experience that I’ll treasure as I continue my studies. A heartfelt thank you to Mónica and Pilar for making this journey so special.
