As a fifty-something couple, we felt welcomed from the minute we arrived at SIC. The staff gave us clear directions and helped us get oriented. We never felt lost getting around and going between lodgings and school.. The school's apartment was fantastic, as were the international students we were lucky to meet there The people who ran the school were genuine and warm. Our private Spanish lessons were tailored around our individual needs. Cadiz was a delightful, stimulating environment. We were there in December and the Old City was festive. Seeing the contrast between the old and new parts of the city was fun. Our experience with SIC was everything we hoped for, and we'd love to return some day soon.
