A six day trip to Nerja, in southern Spain, provided eleven pupils studying GCSE Spanish with a wonderful opportunity not only to enhance their language skills, but also to acquire some insights into the culture of Andalusia.
Flamenco and Ice Cream
Each pair of pupils lived with a local family and attended intensive language lessons during their mornings. The afternoons allowed time for relaxation on Nerja’s beaches, whilst the evenings were given over to experiencing the extraordinary Holy Week processions in both Malaga and Nerja.
A day-long visit to Grenada and the Alhambra was a highlight of the week, even though a distinct winter chill necessitated a brisk pace around the sight!
The joys of tapas, ice cream and flamenco dancing added essential ingredients to the trip. Everyone returned safely feeling stimulated and refreshed.
