Two Continents, Three Countries
Spain, Morocco, and Portugal
December 25, 2009 - January 3, 2010
This is a journey to the ancient lands of Spain, Morocco, and Portugal—two continents and three countries—bound by many centuries of the history now reflected in their modern cultures. For eleven days, we will immerse ourselves in the varied influences of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism in these three lands of deep roots in tradition and faith. This trip is a unique learning experience that involves much more than watching passing scenery through a bus window and you will gain from it much more than a collection of photos and souvenirs.
Dates: December 25, 2009 - January 3, 2010
Price: $3,955
