When deciding on Avila as a destination for a school trip, it is important to consider that it is a small city. Therefore, a one-day visit to the city is enough.
This is why, in a 2- or 3-days end-of-year trip, you can dedicate the rest of the time to multi-adventure activities to complete the trip.
From Etheria Trips, our recommendation is to choose a not so central accommodation, in order to have access to the private bus and have easy access to move in and out of the city.
This way it is possible to carry out outdoor activities and various group dynamics to strengthen the companionship and the bonds of friendship of the classmates. Another important tip when selecting the lodging is to consider the program prepared for the school trip: multi-adventure, rural, urban, etc.
These are some of the recommended accommodations for end-of-year trips that are located outside the city:
- Hotel Rural Altogredos
- Hotel San Miguel del Valle Amblés
- El Pilar de Gredos
- Navarredonda Lodge
- Hotel Vettonia
- Hospedería de la tía María
