A number of extracurricular activities have been planned for during the term to help students get to know each other better and to enhance their time in Valencia.
Camino de Santiago
During the fall semester, the program organizes a trip to walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago during fall break. During the journey you will be able to experience the architecture, history, and culture forged during more than 11 centuries by all of the pilgrims who, for devotion, penance, or other motives, have completed this walk.
