Spain's two great cities could not be more different from each other, and that contrast is exactly what makes this eight-day itinerary worth building a course around. Madrid is formal, monumental, and rooted in Castilian tradition — a capital city where the Prado's galleries and the grand Plaza Mayor tell roughly five centuries of Spanish imperial and artistic history in a single afternoon's walk. Barcelona arrives as a counterpoint: Catalan in identity, Mediterranean in mood, and visually unlike almost anywhere else in Europe. Spending real time in both cities, rather than skimming through either, gives students the chance to hold two versions of Spanish culture side by side and ask why they diverged.

Read every review on Trustpilot“We had a FANTASTIC experience with Passports this year! From the beginning, in the planning stages, the difference between Passports and EF was clear, and that difference bore out over the course of the trip. We are so thankful we found you guys and really felt that the whole experience was better than what we've had with EF.”
“Passports, I cannot begin to thank you enough for helping craft such a spectacular tour! Being a theatre educator, having some arts experiences was important to me — and you delivered. My students and I were talking about the workshop for days! Josephine and the Mouse Singer at the Greek National Opera House was unlike anything my students or I had experienced before.”
