Great Experience, Beautiful Location

I came on this trip with my friend in the hopes of gaining more Spanish grammar and culture knowledge before the start of my further studies in A level Spanish. This trip did not disappoint. One of the best things about Spanish in Nature is that it is situated in the beautiful Guadarrama National Park. This in itself opens up a wide range of fun activities for those interested in sports such as trekking and canoeing. El Boalo, the village is conveniently placed in the middle of mountains yet near Madrid and other beautifull towns like Segovia.

The host family were incredibly welcoming and we had a lot of fun cooking Spanish recipes, watching Spanish films and meeting the friends and family of my Spanish host family. The no english speaking rule, whilst initially hard to maintain lead me to see improvements in my speaking and confidence within just one week. This was of course helped by the tailored study sessions.

Overall, this was a brilliant end to my summer holiday and it was nice to stay in a peaceful setting surrounded by mountains (a change from London). I will miss the weather, the family and of course the awesome Spanish food, ¡Qué rico! :)
