Forth Form Trip to Sunny Córdoba

Fourth Form pupils enjoyed a fantastic trip to sunny Córdoba in the south of Spain over half-term. They got a chance to really consolidate their Spanish language skills by staying in host family accommodation and immersing themselves in the sights and sounds of Andalucía.

They enjoyed conversation classes in the morning at International House Córdoba while taking in the historic architecture in the afternoon. There was also time for the usual ‘churros con chocolate’ as well as a tapas evening. A highlight was a visit to the medieval mosque, located in the heart of the ancient city, followed by a tour of the Jewish quarter. Later turned into a cathedral following the conquest of the city in the 13^th century, the mosque gave the pupils an insight into the medieval city of three cultures. The boys returned with more confidence in their spoken Spanish as well as a taste for tapas and churros!
