STUDYING IN SPAIN
Bullfighting and flamenco do not begin to summarize Spain’s rich complexity. The country has four languages, seven dialects and 17 autonomías—political regions, each with its own government, budget, and cultural ministry. Spaniards, in fact, often feel deeper allegiance to their region’s cultural traditions, political issues, lifestyle and cuisine than they do to those of Spain as a whole. Spanish terrain is as varied as the country’s regional cultures—from cloud-raking Pyrenees to Andalusian deserts to sybaritic beaches. Among the few generalities that hold true for most Spaniards: they’re proud, dignified, generous, and happy in crowds, whether at festivals, strolling in plazas or cheering at soccer matches—as well as at bullfights.

School Life
Most AFS students in Spain attend public schools as seniors with classmates 17 to 18 years old. Students may choose from three areas of study: science, humanities and technology. Science includes math, physics, biology and chemistry. Subjects in the humanities include Spanish, literature, history, foreign language, philosophy and Latin.

LIVING IN SPAIN

Lifestyle and Family Living
Spanish families are typically open and welcoming, eager to see that visitors return to their home country with a good impression of Spain. They are also more inclined to identify with their particular region than with the country as a whole, and AFS participants often come to share this regional enthusiasm.

Dress and Appearance
Spaniards tend to have fewer clothes than people from other countries, but they greatly value appearance; their clothes are always neat, clean and crisply pressed. AFSers should bring casual, warm clothing for winter and lightweight clothing for spring and summer. Students are also encouraged to bring one or two nice outfits (dress shirts and ties for men, dresses or skirts and blouses for women) for special occasions.
