Spain: Tapas, Service & Sea is an 8-day teen travel and service program run by Rustic Pathways based in and around Barcelona for high-school students aged 14-18. Participants complete approximately 8 hours of community service focused on marine conservation and ocean cleanup, while also taking part in cultural and food-focused activities such as tapas meals, market visits, a cooking class, flamenco dance workshops, and mosaic-making.
The program balances meaningful local service with cultural immersion and seaside activities including beach afternoons and a possible boat trip along the Mediterranean coast. The program fee covers accommodations (private countryside basehouse ~40 minutes outside Barcelona), ground transportation, most meals, scheduled activities, airport transfers for group arrival/departure windows, program leaders and 24/7 in-country support, and emergency coverage.
International airfare, personal spending, souvenirs, and optional travel protection are not included. Sessions listed for Summer 2026 include June 30-July 7, 2026 and July 14-July 21, 2026.
