Trip to Spain: Cadiz, El Puerto de Santa María and Cádiz
Ackworth – February 2024
We were delighted to welcome Ackworth School to a school trip to El Puerto de Santa María! The group stayed with us in our Spark Residence where they took part in our Spanish classes and learned about the Spanish culture through the cultural activities that the Spark team had organized.
Their trips started on Thursday with their arrival at Malaga where they were picked up by the Chaperone Pedro. Once they arrived to the Spark Residence, they had a great afternoon at beach before enjoying a barbecue on our roof top terrace.
On Friday, they started with the “rota” activities : they had three typical Spanish classes. They made paella, had a Flamenco dance class, and in their Spanish class they made postcards about their trip. After a few rounds, everyone moved to the roof and enjoyed the delicious paella everyone made. Then the group got ready to walk around El Puerto, where they got to visit Castillo de San Marcos where Columbus stayed before going to the new world. After again heading to the beach in the afternnon they ate tapas out at a local restaurante.
On Friday they had more classes before everyone then went to the cafetin where they ate churros with chocolate in the center of El Puerto. Later heading to Cadiz (the oldest city in Europe) by boat across the bay of cadiz. There they visited Torre Tavira, walked through Genovés park and had some free time for shopping or seeing more of the city. In the evening they had their awards ceremony and slideshow.
On the last day they went to the airport and took their flight back to the UK.
We enjoyed our time with Ackworth here and hope it was a memorable experience for everyone.
