What better place to study than a vineyard? 🍇🍷 Our UCEAP students had the opportunity to learn about the wine business model as part of their Culture and Business: Branding Spain course. At the beautiful @bodegasvalazul vineyard, they enjoyed a wine tasting experience to discover the unique characteristics of Spanish wines. A perfect blend of culture, business, and hands-on learning. 🇪🇸✨

What a great time we had @apetitohescuela ! 🥘🇪🇸 Our Coast Community College District students had so much fun rolling up their sleeves and learning how to cook some of Spain's most iconic dishes: tortilla de patatas, paella, and the delicious tarta de Santiago. 👩‍🍳✨ There was plenty of laughter, teamwork, and, of course, amazing food. From cooking together to enjoying every bite, it was the perfect way to experience Spanish culture and create unforgettable memories. Swipe to see our chefs in action—you can tell they had a blast! 💛🍽️ #accentgloballearning #coastcommunitycollegedistrict #coastcommunitycolleges #studyabroad #madrid #cookingclass @apetitohescuela

Another unforgettable UC Alumni Reception in the books! 🎉 Each year, UC students from across the University of California system come together with UC alumni living and working in Spain for an evening of meaningful conversations, professional insights, and new connections. Organized by the UC Trust @uofcaliforniatrust, Accent Madrid and @UCEAP in collaboration with the Instituto Internacional @iiemadrid, the event gives students the opportunity to learn firsthand about building a career abroad, navigating life in another country, and making the most of their study abroad experience. Through the stories and advice shared by alumni, students gain valuable perspectives that inspire and help shape their own academic and professional journeys. The evening concluded with a reception in the beautiful gardens of the Instituto Internacional, where students and alumni continued the conversation over tapas, strengthening connections and celebrating the global UC community.

CONGRATS SPAIN!! FOOTBALL WON!

🏆🇪🇸 THE SPANISH MEN'S TEAM WINS THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP!!! Spain has conquered the world — but this victory is about more than a trophy. It is a story of resilience, sacrifice, family, and HOPE! ✨ History was made: Spain became the first nation ever to hold both the FIFA Men’s and Women’s World Cup titles at the same time. ⚽ Ferran Torres wrote his name into history with the title-winning goal against Argentina — a moment made even more powerful by his journey through a difficult period of confidence struggles, which he overcame with professional support and perseverance. 🏅Nico Williams gave his medal to his mum as a present for all her sacrifices. His parents, Félix Williams and María Arthuer, migrated from Ghana to Spain in search of a better life. Their journey was extremely difficult — they crossed the Sahara Desert before reaching Spain, a journey Nico and his brother have described as a huge sacrifice by their parents. ❤️ Marc Cucurella showed that family is bigger than football. For him, “if your family is happy, you’re happy.” His family’s decisions are shaped by finding the right support and opportunities for his autistic son, Mateo — proving that success is measured beyond trophies. 🌍 The 19-year-old star Lamine Yamal’s is a reminder of where dreams come from. His name carries a tribute to two men, Lamine and Yamal, who paid his family’s rent when they couldn’t make ends meet. 📊 And on the biggest stage, Spain’s dominance was historic: Argentina became the first team in World Cup final history to finish without a single shot on target. This World Cup was not only won by talent — it was won by people with stories. 🇪🇸⭐ #accentgloballearning #FIFAWorldCup #SpainChampions #LaRoja #WorldChampions #FootballStories
