Sin Traducción
Eight nights in Spain. Zero English.
Built for U.S. high school Spanish programs. Eight nights through Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona with a Spanish-speaking Odisea guide who refuses to translate. A morning at the Prado, a half day in Toledo, paella cooked from scratch in El Palmar, and the Gothic Quarter at dusk. Every meal, every guide, every market stop happens in Spanish. Your students stop reaching for the English crutch by day three.
