"When we reached the summit near Castillo de la Mota, we stopped for our seminar-style discussion overlooking the city. Sitting there while talking about Basque identity, nationalism, and political violence made the discussion feel much more meaningful than it would have inside a classroom as we could actually see the history we were talking about."

"What the jog taught me is something that is difficult to understand from a book or video but becomes clear when you are actually walking around a location: that culture is not limited to museums, dining establishments, or historical monuments. It has to do with how quickly individuals move."

"Pre-departure of coming here, we were required to read Marti Buckley’s two cookbooks about the Basque country and Pintxos. After the pintxos, we were able to meet her and talk to her about her life and learned more about the cuisine that this city brings along with beauty. I gained a newfound appreciation for the smallest details that go into making these bite sized meals."

"If I have learned anything during my time here so far and will continue to learn all next week, it is how precious time is. Be in the moment, enjoy one’s company, get out of your comfort zone and stop stressing about a schedule."

"After eating an impossible amount of pintxos we headed over to meet Marti Buckley. I was very excited to listen to her speak here in San Sebastián. I never listen to podcasts as I find them boring or hard to follow, yet I love Buckley’s podcast. Her voice is so soothing, and she speaks in a way that can engage any audience."

"Being the youngest in a big family means I grew up watching my older sisters travel the world, leaving me behind, making me crave the taste of traveling and new cultures. But I knew from a young age that I would study abroad just like them, following in their footsteps. When I found out about this program, I jumped on the opportunity right away. And when we arrived in San Sebastían, I could finally take this weight off my shoulders of fulfilling my long-time goal of studying abroad because I finally made it."

"After class I headed straight to my pintxo tasting tour. Might be my new favorite food now. We first went to Antonio’s Bar who must have a high demand with a line out the door. And I can say that the wait is definitely worth it. I don’t even know how many pintxos we had, but everything just melted in my mouth so delectably."

"Being from Washington state and attending school in Massachusetts was already a major adjustment for me. I had to learn differences in culture, social norms and simple courtesies between West Coast to East Coast. But I wanted to do more and experience something even further outside my comfort zone."

Two were awarded to recent honors graduates, one being Biology and economics double major Caroline DeSouza ’24, of Boxford, who will spend nine months in Brazil researching how the microbiomes of a single fish species adapt to life in two very different rivers.
