IS NECESSARY TO GO ABROAD TO MASTER THE SPANISH LANGUAGE CONCLUSION Going abroad is not necessary to reach a very high level in Spanish. However, it is absolutely necessary if you want to use the language in a context, in real life situations. A language is a communication tool. When you go to a Spanish speaking country, you use the language in real situations, with real people and with real consequences. If the police asks you for your passport, You will need to understand them to solve the problem. Nevertheless if you go to the internet, you will see quite a lot polyglots who have never been to a Spanish speaking country and who are able to speak it at a really high level. So if you have the opportunity to go abroad, it will provide you with real interaction, a better knowledge of the culture and lots of confidence when you use the Spanish. Not obstantly, if going abroad is not an option for you because of time, money, etc, it is possible to learn Spanish to a very high level without having to live abroad.

I agree with you. Something that seems to help a lot is that in most Spanish speaking countries, Spanish is, indeed, needed to communicate with people. You can't get away by using English always, so you are "forced" to use Spanish and that helps a lot. But is mostly that, the constant practice, and as you say, using it in a real scenario.
