Santander Trip Experience

A total of 32 students and three Spanish tutors visited Santander in the North coast of Spain. Almost no one speaks English there so our students could practice their Spanish all the time. The locals are well known for their warm, welcoming attitude and were all too happy to engage with us throughout our stay.

The highlights of this trip were walks along the rugged Atlantic coastline with its fresh air and breath taking scenery, a boat ride and sea dip in Sardinero beach (where fresh sardines are to die for), a buzzing visit to Mercado de la Esperanza (Market of Hope) home to some of the best Cantabrian produce and an excursion to ‘Los Picos de Europa’ – Spain’s most northern mountain range – which included a cable car ride to the highest peak of ‘Torre de Cerredo’ at an elevation of 2,650 metres with amazing views from the top.
