Individual arrangements can be made for traveling on dates of your choice, but if you make the arrangements through our program, the departure and destination point (NY-Kennedy, and Madrid-Barajas) can not be changed.

It is essential that the application process is completed as soon as possible so that we know the exact number of participants well ahead, have plenty of time to secure the best accomodations available, and can make detailed plans for transportation to, and in Spain. I urge you to submit all the required items promptly and start making preparations for the trip. We will communicate with you further between now and the take off time to ensure that you are ready for the experience. Meantime, we welcome you to our program and look forward to sharing with you a productive and fun time in Spain. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding the program or need help completing your application.

¡Hasta Pronto!
