In Madrid, to more fully experience the culture (and save $$$), we recommend that you eat the all-included two-course 7-11€ lunch with dessert + beverage in neighborhood restaurants or in the nearby Comillas University´s cafeteria (7€). We can show you these places. Lunch is the main meal at 2:15-3:30pm. It is important to eat well since dinner is not until 8:30pm. Avoid buying sandwiches and drinks, since they are 7-11 €.
You will need at least $250 for meals not included in the basic price. Pack cereal bars/ snacks that don´t melt.

Admissions to La Alhambra, Seville´s Cathedral and Alcázares, and Córdoba´s Mosque are included in the fee if you have an ISIC card. Other visits to museums, cathedrals, bullfights, etc., are not included in the program fee since not all students want to see the numerous sites Cádiz and Madrid and the surrounding cities like Puerto de Santa María, Jerez, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Segovia, Ávila, Valencia and Salamanca have to offer. Required for excursions: The ISIC card, which entitles you to lower (or free) admission rates. El Prado and the Royal Palace are free on Sunday mornings.

Many students take small-group, side trips to Portugal, Morocco, Valencia, Barcelona, Pamplona, San Sebastián, etc. You have one free weekend and 5 days at the end of the program for these trips but you need to have a separate budget for them. Form a group and make arrangements from here or once you arrive in Spain but please know that Georgia Tech is not responsible for these trips because GT does not sponsor or promote unsupervised side trips or visits.
