Walk & Talk – course & walks only

890,00 

Our most popular Spanish course!

You will have four 50-minute Spanish lessons each morning at our small and friendly school. We cater for all levels of ability and can focus on the Spanish subjects you prefer. In the afternoons we go off to the Picos de Europa National Park and its surroundings, or to the stunning Costa Verde. Here you will use your Spanish and see the amazing landscapes and wildlife. The walks vary from week to week and throughout the year. We usually see vultures, kites and eagles and possibly some of the more rare birds and flora. We know the area and so we will take you off the beaten track. Some of the routes can be steep (it is the Picos de Europa!). However if you are happy walking about 10km in the hills you will have a great time. Please note that this itinerary can be flipped so you can be walking in the morning and in class in the afternoons.

This course runs every week from Monday to Friday. Weekends are free for you to explore the area on your own. The price includes:

Spanish intensive course with a maximum of 4 people, with enrolment, materials, level test if appropriate, notebook and pen.

Complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits during the lessons’ breaks.

Guided walks, Monday to Thursday.

Guided ecotourism day out on Friday.

Transport in the area to and from walk destinations, as well as from Panes to school in Abándames is needed.
