School Trip to Spain: Cadiz and El Puerto de Santa Maria
Penistone Grammar School- March 2024
We were happy to welcome Penistone School in El Puerto de Santa María as our first school group for July ! 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 Málaga where they were picked up by the Chaperone. Everyone were then transferred to El Puerto, once arrived to the Spark residence, they all gathered to the rooftop and enjoyed together barbecue. Later, they went to the beach and enjoyed a nice walk in the seafront.
On Friday, everyone went to Cadiz. They visited Torre Tavira and learned about Cádiz history in the arqueological museum, they also learned about Carnaval in Museo del carnava, then they walked through Genovés park and had some free time for shopping or seeing more of the city. That same night, they ate tapas at a local restaurante, to end the night they had some time to enjoy music, dance or play games.
On Saturday , they started by going to see el Puerto de Santa María city centre and having some delcious churros and then buying some snacks on the traditional Market. The day continued 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, in the afternoon, the group went to the beach again, they enjoyed it, it was a really great time. After a really long day, they had their departure ceremony after dinner on the rooftop, with pictures of their stay and everyone got a Spanish certificate.
On their last day they went to Málaga and took their flight back to the UK.
We enjoyed our time with Penistone here and hope it was a memorable experience for everyone.
