After a smooth flight, the group wasted no time diving into the sights. Day one featured visits to the breathtaking Plaza de España and the tranquil Parque María Luisa, followed by a taste of local cuisine including the refreshing Andalusian cold soup, Salmorejo.
Midweek, the pupils travelled to the historic city of Granada where they explored the world-famous Alhambra, a stunning palace and fortress that stands as one of Andalusia’s most treasured landmarks.
