Students and parents met in the Mediterranean sun to explore the historic wonders and natural beauty of Spain and Italy. On this 12-day excursion, we visited Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and the Tuscany region, which included Florence, Lucca, and Pisa. We examined the intertwined histories and experienced the architecture, art and cuisine of Italy and Spain. From the Prado and Park Güell to the Roman Colleseum, CMASAS students explored perspectives on these pillars of Europe.
