Where You'll Study
Courses are held at the CEA CAPA Center in the Barrio Santa Cruz neighborhood of Seville. The center is housed in a beautifully restored residential palace with student classrooms, rooms for quiet study, a lounge and a traditional outdoor patio and terrace. The picturesque park, Jardines de Murillo, is next door, offering a tranquil place for enjoying the outdoors and connecting with other students. The surrounding district is a rich and colorful tapestry of lively plazas, street markets, and winding streets leading to cafes.
