When organizing an end-of-year trip to Asturias, a number of factors should be considered for a successful trip. One of these fundamental aspects is the selection of accommodation.
Year-round groups of students yearn for the end-of-year trip, after spending several months in the classroom, between homework and exams. Therefore, choosing the right accommodation is essential for this experience to be rewarding and not become a real headache.

If the group of students wishes to prioritize multi-adventure activities and sports, it is best to hire lodges or rural hotels as an accommodation option.
