Worldschooling podcast episode summary

This episode of Worldschooling Q&A continues Astrid and Clint's country deep dive series with a look at worldschooling in Spain. It's especially useful for families weighing a stay in a Schengen country for the first time.

During the episode, we cover the logistics that matter most: the 90 day Schengen visa rule, the differences between the Latin American Spanish we learned in Mexico and the Spanish spoken in Spain, and why it helps to carry both cash and credit card. We also share practical notes on renting a car and navigating the narrow streets and elevator style parking garages common in older towns like Cadiz and Cordoba.

We spent three months in La Herradura, a small town in Andalusia near Malaga. Much of the conversation during this episode centers on what made that stretch of Spain so rich for learning.

We share a time when we did a family history unit study that paired books about the Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors with visits to a Roman bridge, an old salt works, and the Alhambra, along with an honest conversation with their kids about the Colombian Exchange and the history behind flamenco. We also talk through Spain's late dinner hours, the tradition of sobre mesa, and how connecting with a local worldschooling hub helped us find housing, a produce farmer, and other traveling families.
