The Alambra in Granada (Spain Cultural Tour 2001)
April - May 2009
Gaudi in Barcelona (Art Trip Spain 2001) From Baroque to Early Twentieth Century
From El Greco to Dali; from Baroque to Surrealism. For 14 full days, we conduct the group in Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Toledo, Sevilla and Figueres. We make the necessary arrangements so we talk and exchange knowledge in the Prado, the Reina Sofia, the Thyssen, and the Picasso Museums. Elements of Islamic art and culture are parts of the curriculum while visiting the Alhambra and the Sevilla Alcázarar.

Our unique Art History/Seminar Tours are offered to anyone interested in the arts; you do not have to be an art student. They last usually 14 days. They are a fine combination of museum visits, city exploration, lectures, meals and fun. Some American colleges, now being aware of the quality of our cultural tours, are conferring credits for our expeditions; we also offer a Certificate of Completion for our cultural activities. Because we have maintained excellent relations with our European partners, we are able to facilitate the use of their infrastructures. With our partners, we take care of all the logistics (hotels, ground transportation, flight, guided tours, schedule, classrooms, museum reservations etc.) We stay in small hôtels and pensione, and sometime we eat "on the go" (sur le pouce in French). We travel like the Europeans: by subway, by train; and we also walk a lot. Needless to say, students return to North America overwhelmed by their icscis experience.
