How this holiday makes a difference

We value our role within the community and regularly attend neighbourhood meeting where we help with decision making. We encourage all of our students who come to learn Spanish in Granada to use the local shops and stalls close to the school so that they can get a feel for the history and culture of the city and so that they can support local business.

All our teachers are employed from the local area and the accommodation provided, within walking distance from the school, is owned by local landlords or families. We ensure that the accommodation places our students in the centre of the community and that they will play a part in typical Spanish life.

We do not charge for the organisation or administration of activities, students only have to pay the entrance fees when at the particular place of interest. Therefore the money from our students goes directly to local businesses, guides and the attractions here in Granada.

We work with charities that help teenagers and young immigrants who have recently arrived in Spain with basic or no knowledge of Spanish. We provide them with teaching materials and support to help these people with their Spanish studies. This is important for us as we can use our main forte to help those in need.

We have written a Code of Conduct for all of our students and teachers. They can refer to this during their stay with us and again when travelling in the future. The Code specifies how you can be responsible and environmentally sustainable. We believe that if our students do at least one thing that is included in the Code then we should make a difference.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Finding out I was not too old to learn new tricks - beginning to learn a new language at 61 was very encouraging to continue the course as soon as I have available time.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be brave and go for a long course (four weeks at least) to become fluent. I was just beginning to feel capable at the end of a week.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, the school employed local well educated tutors, we visited local restaurants and historic sites, information was plentiful on the use of local transport etc to get there.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Excellent, the school and it's staff were well organised, encouraging and excellent value for money. The accommodation offered at the school site was basic but enjoyable for the company.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


It is so good, I am still here - have arranged to stay an extra week!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be prepared for lots of waiting around on the organised trips out - punctuality is not a quality of either Spaniards or students! You only need casual clothes, although one set of reasonably smart causal clothes is needed for weekends if you want to go to certain bars. Bring a decent dictionary - as all of the classes are only in Spanish, you really need to be able to look up the words. This is especially important to help with the homeworks

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


We went out most nights to the local bars and often to local tourist attractions, it must have helped the local economy and our use or public transport was also significant

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It was great, and hopefully I will still think so at the end of another week.
