if you could pick another cea capa program (besides yours) which one would it be and why?
I'd choose Chile or Argentina since I focused on language immersion during my Madrid study abroad program and I'd love to visit other Spanish-speaking countries.
how did you engage with the local community while abroad?
Engaging with the local community while studying abroad in Spain was an enriching experience that went beyond the confines of traditional tourist attractions. My approach involved immersing myself in the vibrant tapestry of daily life through visits to bustling local markets. These markets, such as El Rastro and the winter markets, became my go-to places to interact with locals, sample authentic cuisine, and witness the lively atmosphere.
