A fantastic trip to Spain for pupils interested in Spanish and BTEC Hospitality...
This February half-term, Mrs McMunn (Head of Food Science) and I took a lovely group of 5th and 6th Form pupils interested in Spanish and/or Hospitality to the South of Spain. On day 1, we spent a cold wintery morning visiting la Alhambra in Granada, where we were incredibly fortunate to receive a memorable tour by the General Director: Rodrigo Ruiz-Jiménez. It was a privilege to receive this VIP tour by Rodrigo and all of us are incredibly grateful to him for kindly sharing his time and knowledge with us. Then, we finished the journey spending a rainy afternoon in the natural park: El Torcal de Antequera in Málaga, which was an impressive viewpoint despite the rain and fog.
On day 2, we had a top educational and inspiring morning in the reputable hospitality school of Les Roches in Marbella, where we learnt how to make sushi and mocktails, amongst other things. This was another unforgettable experience, particularly for our pupils, who could also learn about the possibilities of studying Hospitality and/or Business-related degrees with a language, in their international and multilingual campus in Marbella, Spain.
On day 3, we enjoyed the blue sky and the warmer temperatures of Málaga city by spending the whole day out and about exploring the centre, the markets and shops, without forgetting the beach walk and the quay. All in all, it was an incredible experience, everyone had a go at speaking Spanish.
