UNA CIUDAD HISTORICA There is no better way to understand a culture than to learn its language, and there is no substitute for speaking that language in real-life situations. Our trips for schools to Spain offer a mixture of cultural experiences, sight-seeing and a chance to interact with the Spanish people. We can arrange for students to spend time with their peers in schools around Spain. These visits often result in friendships that last long after the trip is over. The sample itinerary below is a tour that we operated for a middle school group from London. We will be happy to organize a tour to your own specifications in any part of Spain that you wish.
