School Trip to Spain: Cádiz, El Puerto de Santa María and Málaga
Pocklington- February 2024
We were happy to welcome Pocklington School in 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 monday with their arrival at Málaga where they were picked up by the Chaperone. After this we made a stop on Málaga to have lunch and to discover Malaga’s city city centre, history and having some free time to walk around and do some shopping on Calle Larios. Everyone were then transferred to El Puerto, once arrived to the Spark residence, they went to the beach and had some free time by playing games. Later, they all gathered to the rooftop and enjoyed together barbecue and some games.
Their second day started with a Spanish lesson then the group got ready to walk around El Puerto. Everyone then went to the cafetin where they ate churros with chocolate in the center of El Puerto, followed with an amazing tour of Castillo de San Marcos. The afternoon, the group went to the beach again, they enjoyed it, it was a really great time. Later that night, they got to enjoy movie night before going to sleep
On Wednesday, everyone went to Cadiz. They visited Torre Tavira and learned about Carnaval in the Museo del Carnaval, walked through Genovés park and had some free time for shopping or seeing more of the city. After a really long day, they ate tapas at a local restaurante , along with the Chaperone Pedro and all the bar stuff who made everyone sing and dance.
Next day, 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. After paella, everyone went to Padel Las Marías and had a really fun time learning how to play padel. After dinner on the rooftop, they had their departure ceremony after dinner on the rooftop, with pictures of their stay and everyone got a Spanish certificate.
On the last day, they went to the airport and took their flight back to the UK.
We enjoyed our time with Pocklington here and hope it was a memorable experience for everyone.
