"Shortly after class ended, we met at Zurriola Beach for a farewell picnic. The day felt like a fitting end to the program. It combined the routines that had become familiar to us, like biking to class and spending time together as a group, with conversations about everything we had experienced and learned during our time in the Basque Country. While the trip was coming to an end, the final day provided an opportunity to reflect on what we had learned, appreciate the city one last time, and say goodbye to a place that had become familiar in a surprisingly short amount of time."

"It only took one bite to know that this wasn’t some cheap approximation. It was good. Really good. Basques don’t compromise on their food, no matter its origin or culture. That’s when I realized that Basque cuisine was an ideology which extends beyond any list of typical dishes or regional cookbooks."

"Rarely do we ever see a local with their phone out when having a meal or interacting with their friends. This is something I want to take home with me. I want to be able to go spend time with the people close to me and forget about the burden of my phone. Through this trip, I have learned how to enjoy myself and have my phone nowhere near the excitement. And I can thank San Sebastian for that!"

"Going to Santa Klara Island with the group was such a fun experience and definitely one of my favorite days here so far. As our time in San Sebastián is starting to come to an end, I’m realizing how much I’ve enjoyed being here. It honestly feels weird knowing the trip is ending soon because this experience has been amazing. I already know I’d love to come back here someday in the future."

"The class also made me notice something I had been overlooking throughout my time in San Sebastián: Basque culture is always present, even when it is not obvious. It feels as though it is hidden in plain sight, quietly shaping daily life."

"Before coming to San Sebastián, I knew very little about the Basque language, or Euskara. I had heard that it was unique, but I did not fully understand what made it so important to the region. Learning about it made me realize that Basque is much more than simply another language people speak. It represents history, resilience, and identity."
