	Program Excursions The Hamilton College Academic Year in Spain sponsors a series of guided field trips to different parts of Spain throughout the year. During recent academic years, for example, cities visited included Granada, Segovia, Salamanca, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Toledo, Sevilla, Cordoba, Pedraza, Avila, Santiago de Compostela, León, Burgos, Soria, Jaén, Cuenca, Cáceres, Tenerite, Mallorca and Santander. Usually three excursions take place each semester, including one of 3-4 nights (in addition to the Orientation trips). The careful guidance of the program?s own professional assistants (drawn from the HCAYS faculty) assures that the excursions are academically structured. Such trips are considered an essential part of the program?s educational experience, accounting for approximately 30% of the days dedicated to intellectual or course activities.
