Spanish immersion is achieved by combining classes with authentic social and cultural activities every day
We are extremely proud of our culture, our traditions and the spectacular surroundings of our town Vejer de la Frontera. For this reason we take alot of time and care designing our cultural programme to make the most of our stunning location with trips to nearby Andalucian cities and beaches such as Cádiz, Tarifa, Sevilla or Jerez.
Our cultural programme is varied including traditional Spanish cooking, bodega tours, live flamenco, Spanish film, exploring the natural surroundings by bicycle, horse-back or by foot or discover for yourself why everyone’s favourite is our ruta de tapas!
Each activity requires an additional fee and is dependant on the season, local events, availability and the number of students taking part.
Every student is welcome to participate in the school’s daily cultural programme, which is displayed on our student noticeboard and updated every week.
