That same water covers many of the ancient ruins today, as does some modern construction, and yet the city\u2019s unsurpassed longevity still pulses in its winding streets and stunning cityscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern-day C\u00e1diz is equally famous for its annual pre-spring carnival and for its residents\u2019 open arms and artful sense of humor. The capital of the C\u00e1diz province, this city of 130,000 is nonetheless an intriguingly less-beaten path, rarely overwhelmed with foreign tourists and easy to get around by foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On our six-week program, under the auspices of Centro MundoLengua in collaboration with the University of C\u00e1diz-Andaluc\u00eda (UCA), students will take two courses (six credits) of Spanish, choosing from beginner through upper-level language courses. Students at the 300 and 400 levels will take one three-credit course in language and one three-credit course on social issues with a service component. Formal coursework is enriched outside the classroom with cultural and hands-on activities, such as flamenco and salsa lessons, Andalusian cookery, surf lessons, and numerous one-day and multi-day excursions including visits to Granada, Seville, El Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda and the beautiful <em>pueblo blanco<\/em> of Arcos de la Frontera. Students also have free weekends when they can travel to other parts of Spain, Morocco or other European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/357\/2025\/03\/university-cadiz-located-puerto-real-campus-andalusia-spain-faculty-marine-environmental-sciences-ciencias-165581093.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5854\" style=\"width:1280px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/357\/2025\/03\/university-cadiz-located-puerto-real-campus-andalusia-spain-faculty-marine-environmental-sciences-ciencias-165581093.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/357\/2025\/03\/university-cadiz-located-puerto-real-campus-andalusia-spain-faculty-marine-environmental-sciences-ciencias-165581093-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/357\/2025\/03\/university-cadiz-located-puerto-real-campus-andalusia-spain-faculty-marine-environmental-sciences-ciencias-165581093-768x429.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/357\/2025\/03\/university-cadiz-located-puerto-real-campus-andalusia-spain-faculty-marine-environmental-sciences-ciencias-165581093-150x84.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-monmouth-in-spain-signature-program-includes\">The Monmouth in Spain Signature Program Includes:<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pick-up and transfer to C\u00e1diz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-site Orientation and city tour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Welcome\/Farewell dinners in C\u00e1diz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furnished bedroom accommodations in your homestay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linens that include bed sheets and towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two&nbsp;meals a day and laundry service once per week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mapfre Insurance through MundoLengua and AIG Travel Insurance (complete coverage for anywhere you might travel during the program dates)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private Spanish tutoring&nbsp;and cultural and social development sessions provided by Monmouth University Professor (provided 10 Monmouth students or more participate)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mid-term excursion&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One-day&nbsp;excursions to such places as&nbsp;Arcos de la Frontera, prehistoric caves,&nbsp;and Puerto de Santa Mar\u00eda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional Flamenco show<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introductory dance lessons&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andalusian cooking workshop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24\/7 Emergency support and On-site Staff support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24\/7 Mental Health and Wellness support &#8211;
