It is also one of the most important points because it is the place that will be the group’s home during the school trip. Although it may seem simple, the accommodation is not only where the students will sleep. It is the meeting point, the moment of coexistence, of shared secrets, of unforgettable experiences, of evenings and group activities.
There are endless possibilities for your school trip to Cantabria. You can choose from hotels and hostels of all kinds and prices. In the specific case of Cantabria, if the group focuses on the natural environment and multi-adventure activities, we recommend a hostel. Because of its common spaces, spacious rooms and outdoor areas, which will give more freedom to school children in their free time. On the other hand, if the school group prefers urban environments and the coast, the perfect option would be a hotel or hostel at a good price, with a location close to the beach, large spaces for indoor activities and with a full meal service, to avoid worries.
