Visit a local Spanish school

This is a visit that gives students the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Spanish student. We offer flexible options for your visit, spend a few hours, a half-day or even a full day at the local school. 

Your students will be shown around the school and given a brief introduction to the Spanish education system, before being introduced to their class. They will then take part in a typical Spanish lesson – this could be in Maths, History, Spanish or English Language, etc. Students will also have the opportunity to take lunch with their class, and may even get the chance to cook their food in a paella-making workshop.

The insight gained from spending time with native Spanish speakers allows your students the chance to really shine. Students will develop self-confidence and Spanish-speaking skills, with amazing insight into Spanish culture that will broaden their horizons. 

Joselin Bakery 

Enjoy a guided visit to a traditional Spanish family bakery and explore how the business has transformed itself. Students can interact with the owners of the business, learning about the traditional Spanish values of baking and expanding their Spanish vocabulary. Groups will also get to see how the famous Soboas cake is made. 

Santander

The city of Santander is a famous port town that is the epicentre of Cantabria’s rich history. Located by the sea, students can explore lots of amazing attractions to learn more about the Spanish culture and language, including Maritime Museum, Magdalena Peninsula and the Planetarium.

Students can also interview one of the local residents on the street, offering a fantastic experience to learn new Spanish phrases. Cruises of Santander Bay are also available so you can take in the exceptional port in all its glory. 

Comillas

Experience traditional Cantabria with a visit to the symbolic town of Comillas. Take a trip down its famed cobbled streets and squares, and marvel at the ancestral homes, towers and Modernist style buildings. It’s also home to Gaudí’s ‘El Capricho’ building and the neo-gothic Sobrellano Palace. Students will gain a true sense of the language and culture that represents life in Comillas. 

Spanish Language Enrichment Experience

Pablo is a native speaker of Spanish language too, so your group will be able to practise their language skills with him during their stay. 

What’s more, Pablo can assist with arranging a local school visit so your students will be able to meet and converse with Spanish students and help each other with language skills.
