Halsbury Sticker

Get your Spanish students talking with a tailor-made school Spanish trip! A school trip to Spain can really bring both the language and culture to life for your students, providing them with the encouragement they need to continue and succeed with their Spanish studies.

All of our Spanish language trips are completely tailor-made to suit your specific requirements and learning objectives. But, broadly speaking, they can be put into two categories – Spanish Language Culture Tours and Spanish Language Study Tours.

Spanish Language Culture Tours

Our Spanish Language Culture Tours offer the perfect introduction to Spain and the Spanish language and culture, as they combine cultural activities and sightseeing.

The exciting cities of Barcelona and Madrid are always a popular option with groups, as they offer a fantastic range of cultural activities.

However, the cities of Andalusia, including Seville, Granada, and Malaga, also have plenty to offer those who are interested in Spain’s rich history and culture.

Spanish Language Study Tours

Our Spanish Language Study Tours combine cultural activities with Spanish lessons at a specialist language school, where the teachers are all highly qualified native speakers. You’ll be able to discuss the lesson content with them before you travel so that you can be sure that the trip meets your specific learning objectives.

These trips are most popular with groups preparing for exams but are a fantastic option for any group who wishes to spend some of their time improving their overall level of Spanish, as well as enjoying practical experiences of using Spanish.

In selected locations we can offer police-checked host family accommodation too, completing the immersive experience.

Not sure where to go or how to choose between a Language Culture Tour and a Language Study Tour? Please don’t hesitate to contact us – our experienced Tour Advisers know our Spanish destinations incredibly well and will be pleased to discuss the options with you.

Why arrange a Spanish school trip?

Get your students speaking Spanish

On your Spanish school trip, students will be given plenty of opportunity to put their language skills into practice, as they explore and experience all that Spain has to offer.

We offer Spanish school trips to a great variety of destinations in Spain – there really is something for everyone! If you want to visit a dynamic city with spectacular beaches, head to Barcelona, Malaga or Valencia. Explore Spain’s Moorish history with visits to Granada and Seville.

Wherever you choose to go, carefully selected activities and visits will provide students with the unforgettable experience of using their language skills to explore the local culture.

Your students will have many interactions with friendly, native Spanish speakers, and these interactions will help to boost their confidence in their language skills. And, for many, it could spark a lifelong passion for the Spanish language and culture.

Immerse your students in Spanish culture

On a Spanish school trip to Spain, your students will be immersed in the Spanish culture. We’ll work closely with you to tailor-make an itinerary packed full of exciting cultural activities and visits that allow them to get a real sense of what the Spanish culture is all about.

In Andalusia, for example, you can enjoy a lively flamenco show. This style of music and dance has its roots in the gitano subculture of Andalusia and has been declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

In Barcelona, you can learn more about the art culture in Spain, including the uniquely Catalan Modernism, which is typified by the spectacular architecture of Gaudí that is such a prominent feature of the cityscape.

Wherever you choose to go, your students will enjoy local food and experience local traditions. Just as interesting will be the opportunities to experience the everyday culture of Spain, like the different structure of a Spanish working day, and the tendency to enjoy the main meal of the day at lunch, instead of during the evening.

Enjoy the trip as much as your students

Originally founded by a former languages teacher, and with many former teachers still among us, we understand the value of Spanish school trips and how to make them successful.

Your trip will be completely tailor-made, to ensure that it meets your specific requirements and learning objectives. And we’ll be on hand throughout the process to answer any questions you have.

In fact, we’ll be with you every step of the way, from now until you return home at the end of your trip. While abroad, you’ll be able to reach us with just one phone call, at any time of the day or night. And, with this comprehensive level of support while you’re away, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy experiencing Spanish in action as much as your students.
