Spanish Trip to Granada

Fourth and Fifth Form pupils of Spanish enjoyed a fantastic trip to Granada during October half term. They stayed with host families in the city and got a chance to really immerse themselves in the language and the culture.

During the day they attended Spanish lessons at a local language school as well as out and about in the city. In the afternoons they got to explore the old town of Granada as well as take in the scale and history of the Alhambra palace, built by the Nasrid rulers of the city who were the last muslim rulers in Spain when the south of Spain was part of the Arabic speaking world.  

Time was found to hit the Science Museum as well as the biggest shopping centre in Andalusia. The highlight for many was the food, not only the food enjoyed by them in their host families but tapas in the city!
