Immersed in Spanish Culture

In the last week of the Easter holidays, 22 Fourth and Fifth Year students went to Malaga on a cultural study tour. 

They were incredibly lucky with the weather, meeting their host families in glorious sunshine followed by a tour of the main Malaga sites, the Moorish fortress (alcazabar), the Roman theatre, the cathedral and finishing with Churros con chocolate in a city centre bar.

Students spent the mornings taking Spanish lessons in small groups, followed by sightseeing and some beach time, ending the day by dining with their host families in the evening.

They were able to visit Nerja to experience the world-famous caves, followed by enjoying paella on the Burriana beach.

Perhaps the cultural highlight was the trip to Granada to visit the Alhambra palace, but for many, the real highlight was the visit to a secondary school on the last day, where they chatted to Spanish pupils of a similar age and on leaving there were many contact details swapped and new international friendships made!
