For a group of 24 Year 8 students, the Easter holidays got off to a great start with a trip to Andalusia. The group were based at the Albergue Inturjoven Málaga and throughout the trip they had a very helpful Spanish guide called Ignacio to make sure they got the most out of their visit.

 

Their first day saw them undertake an enjoyable historical walking tour of Malaga, visiting the Cathedral and other main sites in the old town centre. There was also a visit to Centro de Arte Contemporeánea de Málaga to enjoy some contemporary Spanish art, before a trip to a traditional market was followed by an exquisite Tapas lunch in a typical restaurant. A packed day ended with a visit to the Alcazaba (Medieval Castle) which was pronounced “quite interesting”, before tasting Chocolate con Churros  - “heavenly!”.

 

The next day was spent at Tivoli World  theme park, which was a great hit with the group, before a final full day excursion to Granada, visiting the Alhambra Palace and had a delightful picnic lunch in the gardens. Some blue skies and sunshine ensured it was the perfect trip all round.
