School Trips to Spain

Each city in Spain represents a fascinating opportunity for Spanish language learners.

Madrid Spanish Language is 4 days from £619pp, Sevilla: Spanish Language & Culture is 5 days from £768pp, and Barcelona Spanish Language is 4 days from £735pp. For something different, Valencia Culture and Language is 4 days from £700pp and combines language learning with visits and activities in Spain's third-largest city.

Spain has more dedicated Art trips than any other country in the catalogue. Bilbao Art and Design (£510pp/4 days) is the most affordable, centred on Frank Gehry's Guggenheim. Madrid Paseo Del Arte is 4 days from £590pp and covers the Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza in a single mile-long stretch.

The Madrid Paseo Del Arte is the cheapest trip at £590pp over 4 days.

There are two strong cross-curricular options. Diverse Madrid! is 4 days from £739pp, covering the city's museums, royal heritage and street scenes. Diverse Andalucía is 5 days from £880pp and gives a multi-city tour through Sevilla, Granada and Málaga.

Spain is best suited to secondary groups given the flight distance, but the Costa Brava and Catalonia Geography trips work well for older primary or transition groups, with manageable travel days and accommodation in coastal resorts like Calella or Lloret de Mar.

All Spain trips are flight-based, departing from a London airport. City trips use audited accommodation which is suitable for young people; coastal trips use resort hotels in Calella, Lloret de Mar, Blanes, Tossa de Mar or Rosas.
