YOU DIDN’T GET HERE BY ACCIDENT

You're the one who closes the deal.
Runs the room. Holds the practice together.

You’ve spent years mastering everything else — the case, the patients, the P&L, the team. Spanish is the one thing that’s stayed on the list. Not because you can’t. Because you haven’t yet had the room, the guide, and the women to finally make it click.

This trip is that room.

STUDENT EXPERIENCE

What our students are saying

She’s the attorney, the physician, the VP, the founder — a woman whose calendar is full and whose standards are high.
She’s studied Spanish before — apps, classes, YouTube — and she’s ready for it to finally come together, live and in real conversation.
She wants to live beautifully abroad — a five-star home base, rooftop dinners, and a city she gets to actually experience, not just check off.
She wants her people — other accomplished Black women on the same journey, not a room full of strangers.
She wants it handled — the hotel, the transfers, the excursions, the training. She just has to show up and say “sí.”
And she’s ready to say yes to herself — not someday. This year.

TOUR DETAIL

Everything is arranged. Everything is intentional.

HOME BASE

Live like the palace guest you are.

Seven nights at Palacio de los Duques, a Gran Meliá Hotel — a 19th-century palace turned five-star urban retreat in Madrid’s historic Habsburg district, steps from the Royal Palace. Rooftop terrace, historic garden, and the kind of quiet luxury that lets you actually rest between adventures.

THE METHOD

You practice Spanish every single day — on purpose.

This isn’t a trip where Spanish happens to you. Each day carries a guided speaking challenge, real conversation with locals, and hands-on immersion — from a market cooking class to a language exchange evening with native madrileños. You’ll leave speaking with a confidence no app has ever given you.

BEYOND MADRID

Two excursions, fully guided.

High-speed train day trips to Toledo — the walled city of three cultures — and Segovia, home to a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct. Both fully guided, both included, both unforgettable.

EVENINGS

Rooftops, flamenco, and nights you'll talk about for years.

Dinner atop some of Madrid’s most celebrated hotel terraces. A flamenco tablao evening — cante, toque, baile. A farewell dinner under the Madrid skyline with the women who became your sisters this week.

YOUR GUIDE, THE ENTIRE WEEK

Led personally by Kaywanda Lamb.

Founder and CEO of Spanish for Black Girls™, Kaywanda is a bilingual educator with 21 years of experience teaching Spanish — in classrooms, at the corporate level, and now, in the streets of Madrid. She’s been featured on Good Morning America, ABC, and NBC, and has personally led international immersion trips to Costa Rica and Mexico.

This isn’t a trip with a hired tour guide and an instructor bolted on. Kay is both, for all eight days — which means every excursion, every meal, and every conversation is an opportunity to keep building your Spanish, with the person who’s spent her career doing exactly that.

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

Before you say sí.

Do I need to already speak Spanish?

No. This group is intentionally mixed-level. Every activity has a version for beginners and a stretch version for more advanced speakers — you’ll be paired with a buddy so no one is left behind or held back.

I'm traveling solo — will I be the only one?

Not even close. This trip is built for professional Black women traveling on their own, and many will be. You’ll be paired with a buddy on Day 1, and by Day 8 you’ll have a group text full of new friends.

What's the group size, really?

8–12 women, max. Small enough for genuine relationships and real conversation practice with locals — large enough for a great group energy every night.

What's the payment structure?

A deposit reserves your seat, with flexible payment plans available leading up to the trip. Reach out for full payment details.

What should I pack?

You’ll receive a full Pre-Departure Checklist and Packing Guide once you reserve your seat — including exactly what to wear for rooftop dinners, day trips, and flamenco night.

MADRID, JULY 2027

You've built the life. Now go live in it, in Spanish.

Eight seats. Eight days. One trip that finally makes your Spanish — and your next chapter — feel real.
