Year 9 and 10 Spanish Trip

During October half-term, a group of 35 Year 9 and 10 students embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Cadiz, Spain. During this educational journey, aimed at immersing student sin the Spanish language and culture., they stayed in the charming town of Puerto de Santa Maria, where they live and learned at the Spark Residential Immersion Centre. Guided by their dedicated chaperone, Pedro, the students discovered the beauty of Spain, explored local attractions, and practiced their Spanish skills in real-life situations.

The students had the opportunity to explore the picturesque town of El Puerto, an enchanting coastal gem with a rich history. They embarked on a guided tour of the town, delving into its historic streets and learning about its cultural heritage. Highlights included visits to the local castle, indulging in 'churros con chocolate' and savouring the delectable tapas in authentic Spanish eateries. These experiences allowed students to enjoy the true flavours of Spain while honing their language skills.

A major highlight of the trip was the visit to the vibrant city of Cadiz, a place steeped in history and cultural significance. Students marvelled at the stunning panoramic views from the Tavira Tower and had the opportunity to explore the local museum, learning about the iconic ‘Carnival’ celebrations.

We certainly hope that this enriching trip has left a lasting impact on the students, broadening their horizons and instilling a lifelong love for the Spanish language and culture.
