Living with a Spanish family, you will discover the Spanish way of living from the inside with lively family dinners, local traditions and festivals, and of course, the national obsession with football. Surely, you\u2019ll soon learn how to enjoy tapas, siesta, and flamenco music!<\/p>\n<p>The lovely Spanish weather makes outdoor activities the best. There is usually plenty to choose from. And not only summer sports like football and golf, when summer ends, you can even go skiing in some parts of the country! Want to try something typically Spanish? Sign up for a flamenco dance course!<\/p>\n<p>Living abroad without your natural family is a big adventure, but it\u2019s one that will give you a second home, friendships, and memories that will last far beyond your exchange. It will make you more independent, confident, and open to new perspectives. Spaniards are famously warm, social, and talkative, and even if that\u2019s not really who you are today, that\u2019s who you will become after living with your Spanish host family!<\/p>\n<p>Good to know: No previous Spanish needed \u2013 just an open and curious mind!<\/p>\n<p>Read more about going on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sts-education.com\/de-de\/europa\/spanien\/\">exchange year to
