Yes. All our destinations include qualified activity leaders available around the clock. The team manages activities, evening entertainment and supervision during the nights.

Sierra Norte: 45–60 min by coach. Cantabria and Asturias: 4–5h. Valencia: 3–4h. Alicante: 4h. Salou: 5h. Granada: 5h. Doñana: 6h. In all cases, the coach departs from the school door.

Can a theme park be visited at all destinations?

Salou includes PortAventura in the programme. In Madrid Sierra Norte we can include Parque de Atracciones. At other destinations, similar options are available on request.

Do prices vary depending on the time of year?

Yes. June trips are usually more affordable than July ones. Coastal destinations are better value outside peak season. Contact us with your dates to receive the exact price.

Can we combine several destinations in one trip?

On some itineraries, yes. For example, Cantabria can combine inland (Altamira, Cabarcéno) with coast (surfing in Santander). Asturias also combines beach and mountain. Contact us and we will design a bespoke programme.
