Where is better to study in Spain?

Not sure where to study abroad, New zealand or spain?

  • Hello, I have the opportunity to study three weeks abroad and I am either going to go to spain and walk the camino de santiago or go to new zealand and learn about the maori people. I am leaning towards spain for person grown and really challenging myself, its a 300 mile walk!!! and I'm thinking new zealand because it is suppose to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. any advice on making my decision, or if anyone has done either of these, recommendations? thanks!

  • Answer:

    I would hardly call either trip "studying abroad". If you decide to walk the Camino de Santiago, your main priorities will be food, shelter, a warm shower, how to heal those blisters, etc - not sure where the study will fit into this. And where would you begin walking from? The Camino Frances is the most popular of the Camino routes, and runs from the French/Spanish border to Santiago de Compostela, a total distance of 500 miles. If you only have three weeks, you need to start much closer to Compostela, perhaps Burgos, and 300 hundred miles in three weeks is really only doable if you are a very good walker. Hopefully you are doing some walking now, because you need to wear in your walking shoes and get your body prepared as much as possible. If you do choose to walk the Camino, have a look at a couple of websites so you know what you're in for. Mundicamino is good for information on the different stages, accommodation, and maps http://www.mundicamino.com as is the Confraternity of St James, where you can also get a guidebook to the Camino Frances which will give you distances between towns/villages, albergues - including number of beds, cafes/bars, and essential information http://www.csj.org.uk. You could also join an Internet forum where you'll get sensible answers to any of your questions - http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/ is a good one or there is Santiagobis - just look it up under Yahoo Groups.
