DESCRIPTION
Similar to France, we have been operating trips to Spain in previous capacities for many years. We often promote the benefits of a cultural homestay as we always found the feedback to be positive, with students not only improving their Spanish language, but also growing in confidence. We can arrange tours of Spain, from top to bottom if thats your thing, or simply one destination programmes with a cultural twist.
We can also offer bespoke geography based programmes to the Costa Brava or Aragon – please enquire for more info.
