The Spanish Conversation in Avila program provides students studying Spanish (major or minor) with a short-term language immersion opportunity in the summer.
The program is based at Universidad de Salamanca, considered to be one of the oldest Spanish universities in existence, founded in 1218. It is located in the midsized town Avila, about one hour west of Madrid.
