Spain Guide
Spain is a country full of contrasts, with a diverse countryside and a vibrant
culture. The best way to learn about Spain is to visit the country and come to
know her history and her culture, not only in the monuments and museums you will
visit, but in the stories its people will tell you. Experience Spain’s own
special passion in the ritual of bullfights, the energy of Flamenco dances and
the powerful rhythmic sounds of the spoken language. Spain is this and much
more... Learn about the different facets of Spanish culture by conversing with a
local villager in a small fishing port or taking advantage of the cultural
opportunities in a large metropolitan city. Participate in the artistic and
intellectual life of a busy capital city. Or enjoy a relaxed style of life on
the southern coast. Sunny beaches, vineyards, beautiful countryside and forested
mountain ranges paint the background for an enjoyable learning experience.

Climate
Spain is famous for its number of sunny days per year. The country has four very
different seasons. Spring and Fall are the best times to visit Spain.
The weather varies a lot in Spain. Even though it is true that the sun shines
often, temperatures vary quite a bit from season to season. It is better to be
prepared with adequate clothing for the time period when you will take the
course. The following are some suggestions for choosing the clothing to bring
with you on the trip:
Summer. The sun is strong in all of Spain and it is very hot during the day.
However, in Alcalá and Salamanca it is a dry heat, and the temperature in the
shade is pleasant. Málaga has a humid but pleasant climate with occasional sea
breezes to cool you off. Since it is near the sea, you can enjoy the beach in
your free time. You will need light clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, skirts,
light dresses, light-weight slacks, and a jacket for some cooler evenings.
Temperatures range from 25-35ºC or 77-95ºF.
Autumn. In Alcalá de Henares and Salamanca, the climate is variable. There are
still sunny days but mixed with cloudy days, also with occasional rain. You will
need a jacket, a raincoat, an umbrella, long sleeve shirts and some sweaters,
but also some T-shirts when the sun is out. Temperatures range from 5-19ºC or
41-66ºF.
Málaga has a sunny climate with warm temperatures. There may be an occasional
cloudy day, but most of the time it is sunny and it hardly ever rains. You can
bring T-shirts, long and short sleeve, and one or two sweaters or a light
jacket. Temperatures range from 15-19 ºC or 59-66ºF.
Winter. In Alcalá de Henares and in Salamanca, the winter season is cold and it
sometimes snows. You will need thick sweaters and a warm coat. Temperatures
range from 2-15ºC or 35-59ºF.
Málaga has a warm sunny climate. You will need Spring/Summer type clothing.
Bring a jacket or sweater for when it cools down at night. Temperatures range
from 12-15ºC or 54-59ºF.
Spring. In Alcalá de Henares and Salamanca, the weather varies a lot. When it
rains or if it is cloudy, it is relatively cold. But if the sun shines, it can
also be warm. You will need Winter/Spring type clothing. Temperatures range from
10-21ºC or 50-70ºF.
Malaga is warm and sunny in Spring. You will need Spring/Summer type clothing.
But don’t forget to bring a jacket or sweater for when it cools down at night.
Temperatures are the same as in autumn.
Currency and Money
The monetary unit is the
Euro. It is possible to cash traveler’s cheques at many banks. Credit cards
are widely accepted in the majority of the tourist establishments and stores.

If this is the first time that you will travel to Spain, please read carefully
the following information about the cost of living and general prices. These
indications will help you to plan in advance for the amount of money you may
need for your stay.
We recommend that you bring some cash for the trip and the first few days, and
an international credit card, to be able to withdraw money during your stay. You
can also bring travelers’ checks to exchange money at the bank.
For example, you could bring about € 90,00 for use during the trip and the first
few days you are in Spain. The amount of money you will need during your program
will depend on the type of course, accommodations and meal plan you have chosen.
If you have chosen a Summer course, which includes the price of cultural
activities and excursions, and live in a host family with full board, you will
need less money overall than someone who has chosen to live in a shared student
apartment and has selected a course which does not include the cost of cultural
activities. We recommend that you plan for about € 60,00 per week.
We’ve compiled a list of the cost of some items and services, so that you can
compare them with prices in your country. (click

Eating in Spain - Dining Customs
Breakfast - el desayuno
This meal is often eaten in a bar or café at mid-morning and many people have
little more than a coffee and a sweet roll or croissant for breakfast. Freshly
squeezed orange juice is also popular and widely available and don’t be
surprised when they serve it with a packet of sugar. In family homes breakfast
consists of coffee, or chocolate milk or milk for children, accompanied by
cookies, Magdalena, toast or rolls. Many students take advantage of the morning
break to have a “second breakfast” in a nearby cafeteria, as lunch is served
quite late in comparison to other countries. Possibly the most traditional
Spanish breakfast is “churros” or “porras” with thick hot chocolate. Have these
fried donut-like goodies freshly deep fried in the early morning. If you prefer
a more substantial breakfast you can try a “pincho de tortilla”, a “Sandwich
mixto” or a “mixto con huevo”
Lunch - la comida
Eaten between 13:30 and 16:00, it may be more appropriate to call this meal
“dinner”, as it is the principal meal of the day for many Spaniards. Virtually
all restaurants offer a lunch time “menu” which is usually a much better value
than an a la carte selection and they can include excellent dishes. A “menu” is
usually a three course meal, with 2 or 3 choices for each course. And generally
includes bread and an inexpensive wine or other beverage.
The first course can be as light as a bowl of soup or a salad, or as hearty as a
bowl of lentils with chorizo. The second course will probably be selection
between fish and meat or poultry. Desert will often be a choice of fruit or some
sort of pudding or cake. The wine included with the price of the meal will
almost never be of the finer variety, and it is often mixed with 'casera' or 'gaseosa',
a sweet, carbonated drink. Of course it is possible to pay more and get a better
quality bottle. It is not uncommon to follow lunch by a siesta.
Evening Meal - la cena
Spaniards eat the evening meal quite late in comparison to other countries -
anywhere from 9.00 to 11.00 is reasonable, particularly in the summer and on
weekends. While some people have a full meal at dinner many have a only light
meal, which might consist of a few tapas, or just a salad with soup or a
sandwich or “bocadillo”.
Eat well, inexpensively
Spain has a lot to offer for those wishing to eat well without spending a lot of
money. There are a few tips to follow. Try and eat 'typical' food. As mentioned
before, it's best to have a more filling meal at lunch, choosing from the
variety of small restaurants offering the lunch time 'menu'. Seafood is less
expensive, and often fresher than in other European countries, in fact, Spain is
the second biggest per capita seafood eating country, after Japan. Sit-down
meals are usually more expensive at supper than at lunch. It may be more
economical to eat tapas for dinner, which are usually accompanied by a glass of
wine or a caña (glass of beer). Tapas also offer you a means of trying a large
variety of Spanish foods and flavors, without spending a fortune. Just about any
type of Spanish food comes in the form of tapas, and as such it's a very good
way to go about trying the huge variety of Spanish dishes. Don't worry if you
don't understand the menu, most tapas bars have the items on display at the bar
so you can simply point at what looks appealing to you.
Gastronomy
Spanish cuisine is known and valued throughout the world for the quality and
variety of products and the wide range of dishes. Differences in climate and
lifestyle make for distinct types of foods and dishes in each region. Spanish
dishes reinterpreted by chefs today make Spanish cuisine one of the most
interesting among international cuisine. Of special note is the Arabian influence
in use of fruits and vegetables, use of olive oils, and certain deserts of the
southern region. Students should make sure they try the large variety of
regional dishes; the Cocido Madrileño, the roast lamb and pork of Castilla y
Leon, Valencian Paella and Andalusian Gazpacho are a must.
Cocido Madrileño
Without a doubt, the most typical dish in Madrid is "El Cocido". The
meal comes in many varieties but is basically a wholesome stew, predominantly
consisting of chick peas, cabbage, chorizo, blood sausage or pudding and
vegetables, stewed in broth accompanied by chicken, beef or pork. Usually, a
bowl of the broth with small
fideos pasta is first eaten as a soup appetizer, followed by the
chickpeas with the cabbage and the meats and chicken last.
Andalusian cuisine
This is the land of the grape and olive, olive oils are produced here and
particular grapes with a distinct flavor make the genuine
jerez (sherry) of the region. There is an exotic Arab influence to the
cuisine, especially the desserts that use almonds, figs, and egg yolks, like the
tocino de cielo, a toffee caramel-rich custard.
Tapas are a tradition in Andalusia, and frequently a dish of olives is
served with your wine or beer.
With the discovery of America many new products arrived to Spain that were
quickly incorporated into the Spanish and Andalusian cuisine. Tomatos and
peppers are two of these ingredients which today are the base for many
Andalusian dishes such as the well known gazpacho.
Gazpacho is a classic cold soup made with tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, garlic,
salt and extra virgin olive oil. There are endless other variations.
Andalusian cuisine includes a large variety of fish and sea food. Boquerones
are anchovies, small silvery fish, and are delicious eaten fresh with lemon, or
marinated in vinegar, or also floured and fried boquerones.
Paellas, Valencian in origin
Although Valencian in origin, paella is often thought of as the most
typical Spanish dish and no visit to Spain is complete without tasting it. The
origin of paella, as any popular dish of any region, is nothing more than the
combination of elements readily available in those surroundings. In the area of
Valencia there are rich fields with fresh vegetables, as well as chickens and
rabbit as well as rice fields. Add to this the nearby coast with seafood and
fish as well as the olive oil typical in this region, you have the sum of all
the ingredients included in the typical paella. There are two types of
paella
which are the most popular. The first, paella valenciana, is a
combination of rice, chicken, rabbit, tomato, green beans, and saffron. La
paella de marisco is made with rice combined with seafoods such as sepia,
calamar, mussles, shrimp, cigalas, langosta, and clams, with garlic, olive oil,
tomato, sweet red peppers and saffron. Other rice-based dishes are simply called
Arroz (rice) followed by the main ingredient such as chicken - Arroz con pollo -
or flavored with squid ink - Arroz negro. Paella is cooked in a wide, flat pan
called a paellera, and is usually prepared for two or more people.
Cantabria and Asturias
Apple cider many years ago became the preferred drink in this region. Drinking
Sidra, a natural fermented cider, becomes almost a ritual. Small groups gather
in chiges, the cider-making equivalent to a bodega, to share a glass. The
escanciador, is the master in charge of the pouring, who must pour from the
bottle held high above his head into a large glass held near his knees. Only
enough for a good swallow is poured and the first person drinks this leaving
just enough to swill over the rim of the glass to rinse it before handing it
back to be refilled and passed on.
It is also a dairy area, because of the unique milk that comes from the cows
that are fattened on the grassy areas of the Picos de Europa. There are famous
desserts such as arroz con leche, a cream-rich milk rice pudding, Spain's best
butter -mantequilla , and queso de Cabrales made with a mixture of cow, sheep
and goat milk, creating a soft creamy cheese which is wrapped in chestnut leaves
and stored in humid caves.
Fabada is the most important dish in Asturias.
Beans and sausage are popular in this area, and both are in the fabada,
large dried white butter beans cooked with
chorizo, tocino, bacon and morcilla.
If you prefer something lighter like fish, the rocky, coastline of Asturias is
abundant with tuna, hake, shrimp and prawns.
Caldereta is a hodgepodge of shellfish and fish, a soup-stew mixture of
wonderful aromas, textures and flavors.
Fabes con almejas is a delicious stew of beans with clams.
Castilla and León
The area of Old Castilla, up to Madrid, is countryside with massive castles,
majestic cathedrals and ancient fortifications dating to Roman times. It is
known as the
zona de los asados, an area known for roast lamb and pork. Baby lambs
and suckling pigs are split lengthwise and roasted in a big brick oven, and
served with white potatoes, and crusty white bread. The best place is in
Segovia, in the village of Sepúlveda, but is also well prepared in Salamanca.
There is also famous, the cheese from the North, the morcilla from León
(blood sausage with onions), or from Burgos (blood sausage with rice), the
Chorizo de Salamanca, good jamón serrano (cured ham).
The Hornazo is a round bread with cured ham, chorizo and salchichón
baked inside, typically made around Easter time in Salamanca.
There is also a special cocido from this region, called cocido
maragato, similar to Madrid, but served in a different way.
Galicia
Galicia, in Spain's northwest has a spectacular coastline that provides a
secluded habitat for a variety of delectable crustaceans, fish and shellfish.
The fan-shaped sea scallop, called
vieira, or the pilgrim's shell, are sweet and plump; they may be eaten
straight from the water with a squeeze of lemon, or baked on their shells in a
splash of local
Albariño wine, from the Rías Baixas, or with a coating of crumbs
and spices. The fabulous
percebes and oysters are prized too.
Pulpo a la gallega, is octopus, beaten and boiled to tenderize, sliced and
dressed with oil and paprika. Served with
cachelos, galician potatoes.
Lacon con grelos, cured pork shoulder -lacón- slow cooked with
grelos -the bitter greens of young turnip plants.
Empanada gallega is a pastry pie. The pastry is a yeast-risen dough that
wraps around layers of sliced meat, peppers and tomato.
Because of the hard cold winters, galician food is warm comfort food, served in
the pot in such dishes as
pote gallego, a chunky stew of chorizo and morcilla, root
vegetable, white beans and tangy greens.
At the end of a meal, you move from wines to aguardiente, a potent grape
liqueur that at times is flamed in a pottery bowl and called
queimada or "witch's brew".

Environment
Spain and Portugal share the Iberian Peninsula, a vaguely square-shaped area at
the far southwestern edge of Europe. Spain occupies some 80% of this peninsula
and spreads over nearly 505,000 sq km, making it the biggest country in Western
Europe after France. More than half of the country is made up of vast, elevated
tablelands - the mesetas - and five major mountain ranges stretch across the
country. In fact, with an average altitude of 650m, it's the highest European
country after Switzerland. Landscapes range from the deserts of Andalucía to the
green wetlands of Galicia; from the sun baked plains of Castilla-La Mancha to the
rugged snowcapped Picos de Europa and Pyrenees. Highest Point: Pico de Teide
(Tenerife), 3,719 m. The Canary Islands archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, west
of Morocco, is an autonomous community belonging to Spain.
When to Go
The ideal months to visit are May, June and September (plus April and October in
the south). At these times you can rely on good weather, yet avoid the sometimes
extreme heat - and the main crush of Spanish and foreign tourists. That said,
there's decent weather in some parts of Spain virtually year-round. Winter along
the southern and southeastern Mediterranean coasts is mild, while in the height
of summer you can retreat to the northwest, or to beaches or high mountains
anywhere, if you need to get away from excessive heat. If you want to make sure
you hit some parties, check the list of festivals.
