Texarkana College's Sage, a learning program designed for adults ages 46 and older, will offer a guided tour of Spain and Portugal in March 2019.
The itinerary for the 11-night trip will include stops in Lisbon, Evora, Seville, Ronda, Costa del Sol, Malaga, Granada Cordoba, Toledo and Madrid.
"You won't want to miss out on this wonderful opportunity," said Dr. Beverly Rowe, Sage program coordinator. "Spain is the mother country for most of the cultures in Central and South America. Culturally, our trip spans from Lisbon, one of Europe's oldest cities, to the dramatic hillside cliffs of Ronda, the birthplace of modern bullfighting."
Scheduled for March 10-20, 2019, the trip is open to anyone 46 or older and their spouses or partners. It is conducted by Gate 1 Travel and includes 11 nights' accommodation and 13 meals. Travelers will go into major cities by modern air-conditioned coaches with tour guides.
The total cost is $3,000 including airfare. Registration and a $1,000 deposit are due April 1. The remainder is due Jan. 10, 2019. For more information about the trip itinerary, costs and payments, contact Rowe at 903-748-1235 or [email protected].
Sage engages Texarkana citizens in thoughtful discussion and stimulating activities to enrich day-to-day living of the "third stage" of life. It is primarily for active adults ages 46 and older who seek a like-minded community.
Starting this fall, Sage will no longer collect a membership fee.
"That means that all members of the community ages 46 and up, along with their spouses or partners, are welcome to enroll in any Sage course," said Lorie Jones, director of the TC Community and Business Education Center. "In addition to travel opportunities ... we also offer a number of classes and social opportunities for seasoned learners."
