Although Portugal shares the Iberian Peninsula with Spain its language and culture are unique. It is a small Western European country whose towns range in size from cosmopolitan cities to charming fishing villages and the shores of Portugal are lined with sandy beaches.

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you.
