"The Work & Travel in Spain programme has been a great way for me to improve my Spanish. It has also given me the chance to form friendships with the warm Spanish people. In addition to studying Spanish at a language school, I also learned how to dance flamenco! This has been an unforgettable and very valuable experience for me"
