Whether you're joining us in Barcelona, Zaragoza, or both cities, get ready for an unforgettable celebration!

With just one month before the festivities kick off, take a moment to review your registration. Have you signed up for everything you want to participate in?

Please review the following information carefully, and reach out to Susan with questions.

Review all activities in Barcelona and Zaragoza here before updating your registration via your event confirmation email; if you need another copy, or are unsure of what to do next, please contact Susan. 

BARCELONA:

Hospital Sant Pau: Second tour added!

Two tours will be offered: one in Spanish, and one in English. If you have already paid for the tour and have not responded to last week’s request to choose your preferred language, please reach out to Susan as soon as possible so she can update your registration. Please note that the system will not allow you to make the change.

If you were on the tour wait list, please note that we will remove the current "wait list" option on your registration, generating an automatic email update. You will then need to register and pay for the tour in your preferred language at your earliest convenience. Space is limited!

Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago

A screening of this documentary with filmmaker Lydia B. Smith ES'81 has been added on Saturday with no additional fee to attend. Please register at your earliest convenience as space is limited.

ZARAGOZA:

Back to School Classes and/or the optional Experiential Excursions have been updated and are ready for your selections. 

Back to School Classes 
Pick one of four classes for each of the two sessions. Class topics are history, environmental science and art. (Descriptions available here.)

Experiential Excursion
Choose one of three options for an experiential excursion. Visit the ruins of Belchite, enjoy a day on the water kayaking the Ebro or see some of Zaragoza’s incredible art!
