Pilgrimage & Culture:  Exploring Spain’s Historic Routes
May 30 – June 10, 2026
Discover Toledo. Hike the Camino.   Connect with fellow alumni and people of the community, and be changed in ways you can’t predict but won’t forget. From Toledo’s storied streets to five unforgettable days on the Camino de Santiago, this journey blends culture, connection, and quiet reflection. End in Santiago de Compostela with memories—and meaning—that last long after the trail ends.
Central Discover Abroad invites alumni and community members to explore the world together through immersive, non‑credit journeys that spark curiosity, connection, and lifelong learning.  Our trips are perfect for lifelong learners seeking an enriching, non‑credit summer experience.

Lead with Confidence.
