On Tuesday this week our travellers returned from a magnificent trip to Valencia for an experience immersed in language and culture.

The trip started with an early start the previous Thursday and saw students return home in the early hours of Tuesday morning, but the tiredness proved well worth it!

The five day trip packed in a lot of activities. Students took a boat trip at Albufera on water that is a mix of sea water and fresh water and is used for the rice to grow paella, the staple dish of Valencia.

At Torres de Seranos students visited the cathedral and the old town, with lots of fun being had at the Oceanografic aquarium, the Hard Rock Cafe and the Terra Mitica theme park!

Language skills were put to the test on a visit to the bustling Mercado Central, getting a taste of real Spanish life!

Well done to all of the students for engaging so positively with the trip during some searing 36C heat!
