“My top pick of things to see and do”
The region of Andalucia has lots of immersive opportunities to practise your Spanish, but here are a few standout experiences I always recommend for language groups:
Alhambra Palace Granada
Created originally for military purposes, the Alhambra was an alcazaba (fortress), an alcázar (palace) and a small medina (city), all in one.
Benalmadena Cable Car
Opened in 2003, the cable car has become one of the main tourist attractions on the Costa Del Sol
Cookery Lesson
What better way to learn about local specialities and practice language skills at the same time than with an interactive tapas or paella lesson from a local chef at the Colegio Maravillas.
Day Trip to Cordoba
Cordoba is home to one of the world’s greatest Islamic buildings, La Mezquita which is a symbol of the worldly and sophisticated Islamic culture that flourished here more than a millennium ago when Córdoba was the capital of Islamic Spain, and Western Europe’s biggest and most cultured city.
Day Trip to Seville
Seville is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, and the one that best keeps its traditions alive.
Flamenco Show
Flamenco is a passionate and seductive art form, a mysterious and misunderstood culture that has been burning in Andalucía for nearly five hundred years.
Paella Cookery Class or Tapas Evening
Enjoy Spain’s national dish during a traditional Spanish cookery class, making and eating Paella! Or why not eat and socialise the way the Spanish do by tasting a variety of tapas dishes in this popular evening activity.
Seville Cathedral and La Giralda

Spanish Language Workshops
Pupils will take part in speaking and listening sessions with native speakers, greatly enhancing their learning experience.
Alhambra Palace Granada
Created originally for military purposes, the Alhambra was an alcazaba (fortress), an alcázar (palace) and a small medina (city), all in one.The visit begins with the Alcazaba military fortress, followed by the Palacio de Carlos V, then the Palacio Nazaries and finally a stroll through the Generalife gardens. The Palace is the most visited monument in Spain and has a strict admission policy that limits the daily number of visitors, therefore a visit must be planned well in advance.
Benalmadena Cable Car
Opened in 2003, the cable car has become one of the main tourist attractions on the Costa Del Sol. Climbing to an altitude of 800m above sea level, it offers superb views of the Costa Del Sol, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Guadalhorce Valley. On a clear day Gibraltar and the coast of Africa can also be seen.
Cookery Lesson
What better way to learn about local specialities and practice language skills at the same time than with an interactive tapas or paella lesson from a local chef at the Colegio Maravillas.
Day Trip to Cordoba
Cordoba is home to one of the world’s greatest Islamic buildings, La Mezquita which is a symbol of the worldly and sophisticated Islamic culture that flourished here more than a millennium ago when Córdoba was the capital of Islamic Spain, and Western Europe’s biggest and most cultured city.
Day Trip to Seville
Seville is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, and the one that best keeps its traditions alive. Pupils can explore its many historic landmarks including the Cathedral and Giralda Tower which offers superb views, the magnificent Alcázar, take a cruise on the Rio Guadalquivir or see and feel the magnificent Flamenco!
Flamenco Show
Flamenco is a passionate and seductive art form, a mysterious and misunderstood culture that has been burning in Andalucía for nearly five hundred years. The colourful polka-dot dresses, castanets, and mellow tones of the acoustic guitar have become emblematic of the region. Tickets to see this truly Spanish phenomena can be arranged in Seville, Cordoba or Granada.
Paella Cookery Class or Tapas Evening
Enjoy Spain’s national dish during a traditional Spanish cookery class, making and eating Paella! Or why not eat and socialise the way the Spanish do by tasting a variety of tapas dishes in this popular evening activity.
Seville Cathedral and La Giralda
The Cathedral of Seville was built in the 15th and 16th century in Gothic style on the grounds of former Arab Mosque. It is the largest place of worship in Spain, and the third largest cathedral in the Christian world. The massive Gothic cathedral is the site of Christopher Columbus’s tomb and has a famous minaret turned bell tower, the Giralda which offers magnificent views of the city.
Spanish Language Workshops
Pupils will take part in speaking and listening sessions with native speakers, greatly enhancing their learning experience. Workshops can be arranged at your hotel or at a language school in Benalmadena and at a level tailored to your group.
