School trips to Andalusia

Why visit Andalusia?

Experience the diversity of Spain

School trips to Andalusia give students the opportunity to experience the incredible diversity of Spain.

The name Andalusia itself comes from al-Andalus, which was the Arabic name for Muslim Iberia. The fact that the region has retained this name demonstrates the significance of the period in Spanish history and culture.

Many towns and cities in Andalusia still feature architecture from this period or the period just after the Reconquista, when Christian architecture still bore a strong Muslim influence. Visiting Andalusia on an educational tour will leave your students with a better understanding of how Spain’s unique history has contributed to its rich culture.

Discover Spanish culture

On your school trip to Andalusia, you’ll notice the region’s strong sense of Spanish identity and culture. Many of the things that we consider to be key elements of Spanish culture, such as flamenco, are actually Andalusian in origin.

Plus, trips to Andalusia offer students the chance to use their Spanish skills to delve deeper into the culture and are a fantastic option for building confidence in their language skills, as well as helping to develop their interest in the world beyond the UK.

Explore magnificent cities

Andalusia is home to some magnificent cities, including Seville, Granada, Cordoba and Malaga. All of these cities offer your students the opportunity to explore the history and culture of the region, with visits to historic castles, imposing churches and spectacular palaces.

You could choose to spend your time exploring one of these beautiful cities, or you could choose to visit a couple, to really explore Andalusia and all the region has to offer.

Whatever you choose to do, your itinerary will be tailor-made to suit your specific requirements and learning objectives, and we’ll ensure that your trip is a completely unforgettable educational experience for your students.

Alternatively, if you would prefer a region with a different feel, Barcelona is an excellent gateway to Catalonia, while Madrid is the beating heart of the entire country.
