There’s no better way to improve your language skills than by testing it out on the locals, which is why these immersive itineraries in Spanish speaking countries are ideal for a Spanish class field trip with a difference.


There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Great city scape in Seville, Spain

City Hopping in Spain by Train

Let’s start not just with Spain, but with a trip that cuts right through the core of the Spanish heartlands, from the capital to the vibrant cities of Andalusia. This eight-day itinerary gets from city to city using the country’s excellent high-speed rail network, so you can see much of rural Spain whizzing past your window. The tour starts in Madrid, where you’ll visit the Royal Palace, Cibeles Fountain and Las Ventas Bullring, as well as the Santiago Bernabeu, before embarking on a tapas tour to some of the city’s most authentic local restaurants. In Cordoba you’ll learn all about Spain’s Roman and Moorish history, while Seville offers more sightseeing, tapas and an unforgettable live flamenco show. Visit the epic Alhambra Palace complex in Granada, before ending the trip in coastal Malaga, which is full of incredible art and architecture.

Aldama Street Parroquia Archangel church Dome Steeple San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Authentic Central Mexico

Spain, ironically, is not actually the largest Spanish speaking country on Earth. You have to cross the Atlantic for that, heading to the sprawling landscapes of Mexico. This eight-day tour focuses on the vibrant cities at the country’s core, all of which represent key elements of Spanish colonialism, as well as Mexican revolution and independence. You’ll visit markets, authentic neighbourhoods and Frida Kahlo’s home in Mexico City, before visiting a series of gorgeous towns and cities most notable for two things – stunning Spanish colonial architecture and an important historical role in the independence movement. Said cities include Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende, Dolores Hidalgo and Guanajuato.

Back in Mexico, this eight-day tour offers a more comprehensive insight into the many flavours of this vast nation.

Your class will learn all about classic ceramics production and local delicacies in Puebla, before escaping to the cactus-laden countryside in Zapotitlan Salinas. Learn how to make tortilla and take an authentic cooking class in the city of Oaxaca, where you’ll also explore cobbled streets, bustling markets and magnificent old churches. The trip ends in the glorious coastal region of Puerto Escondido, where a bit of well-earned beach therapy is in order.
