participated in learning abroad opportunities in France and Costa Rica. Matt
Kafker has also traveled extensively with his family, including trips to the

Visitors to Southern Spain often stop by the regional capital, Seville. The
traditional home of flamenco, Seville offers a blend of Moorish architecture and
Gothic styles.
The Real Alcazar, the oldest royal residence in Europe, was built by the Moors in
the 10th century. Recognized as a UNESCO heritage site, the Alcazar features
lovely inner gardens and intricate Islamic tile work.
Next door is the Grand Cathedral, which still features an Islamic-style minaret.
The cathedral, one of the largest in the world, is the burial site of explorer
Christopher Colombus.
Finally, Seville’s impressive 50,000-square-meter Parque de Maria Luisa was
established in 1929 to host the Ibero-American Exposition. Inside the park,
visitors can find a boat-filled canal and a lush garden of exotic trees.
