Totally immerse your students in the Spanish language and culture on a Spanish school trip to El Puerto de Santa Maria!
El Puerto de Santa Maria is located in Andalusia on the beautiful ‘Costa de la Luz’. The city is across the bay from the historic city of Cadiz and just over an hour from Seville. Today, El Puerto is renowned in Spain for its many beaches, gastronomy, flamenco and sherry!
In this lovely corner of Spain your students will improve their Spanish by totally immersing themselves in the language and culture, and living like the Spanish do. Our partner language school is just 10 minutes from the beach and lessons are taught by fully-qualified native speakers with content tailored to your requirements. In terms of accommodation, you can choose between carefully selected host families (all with clean police records) or the school’s on-site residence.
