Yesterday, our Study Abroad in Spain students explored the rich cultural heritage behind Spanish cuisine through “La herencia andalusí,” a cooking workshop held as part of their course "España y su gastronomía"

The session offered a hands-on approach to the influence of Al-Andalus on Spanish gastronomy, bringing history and culinary traditions together through ingredients, techniques, and flavors that continue to shape Spain’s food culture today!

An experience where learning about Spain goes beyond the classroom and into the kitchen!

A weekend in A Coruña! 🌊

This past weekend, our Fall 2026 students from Butler University took their Study Abroad in Spain journey to the northwestern coast of Spain for two days of history, culture, and new experiences.

Their visit took them from the iconic Torre de Hércules and the historic center, including Plaza de María Pita and the Iglesia de Santiago, to Castillo de San Antón, where they discovered more about the city's history and heritage.

The weekend also brought a taste of Galicia at MEGA, the Estrella Galicia Museum, where students explored the story behind one of Spain's best-known b**r brands and enjoyed a tasting experience!

Where will the Study Abroad in Spain journey take them next?
