Spain
Hola España!
Spanish people are welcoming, cheerful, generous and lively. It’s important to them that visitors leave their country with a good impression!
This behaviour stems from one common national trait – pride. Being so comfortable welcoming foreigners to your country, suggests the Spaniards have something special about their culture, which makes them proud. Could it be the magnificent Mediterranean climate? Perhaps it’s the delectable cuisine, which varies greatly from region to region, but includes ham, fish and paella, and addictively sweet churros for dessert.
Convinced that Spain is the destination for you? If so, we are sure you will also develop a great sense of pride for this flamboyant culture. Check out the information below to find out a bit more about what life could be like as you study in Spain on your very own WEP student exchange program!
