Córdoba without group leaders – Hostel.

This program includes a wide range of engaging and educational activities that will make the students get an in-depth glimpse into Spanish culture. This way, they will get a complete overview of Córdoba’s history and culture. The trip is designed as a comprehensive experience, addressing many of the key elements of Spanish culture, from history to music, including urbanism and traditions. It’s a full-immersion experience, in which the students will have to use all the linguistic resources within reach, in order to communicate and understand what is happening around them.

Our team of instructors will be accompany the group 24/7 and will create a relaxed and collegial atmosphere, where all students feel comfortable participating, learning and practising Spanish. Moreover, instructors are ready and willing to respond to any suggestions or enquiry that students or teachers may have. Each night, instructors will also organise night-time activities so as to end the day in the most exciting way.

Afterwards, we will go to the Sotos de la Albolafia Park, next to the river, where we will look for a place to have lunch.

When we are done, we will go for a walk up to the Roman Bridge, cross over the river and go to the Calahorra Tower –a fortress of Islamic origin-. From there, we will go to the Andalusian House: a journey in time that will transport us to the times of the Caliphate.

Once we have finished the visit, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner… we will go to enjoy a Flamenco show!

From there, we will go to the Victoria Gardens and we will look for a place to have lunch.

With our batteries recharged, we will explore some of the typical patios of Córdoba, full of light, with white walls and filled with flowers that give them a lot of colour. Afterwards, we will have some free time to go shopping, buy some souvenirs or even have an ice–cream in the sun.

Finally, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner… the instructors have prepared a little surprise!
