If you're looking for somewhere to send school trips abroad where they can enhance their knowledge on the subject they are studying, you might be interested in taking your students to Spain. The Mediterranean country caters for all classes, whether they are taking history, art, home economics, music or Spanish lessons. Indeed, this is one of the best places in the world to go to in order to improve linguistic skills, as language pupils can practise the subject all day long with the locals. As they won't be surrounded by people conversing in English, this will immediately encourage them to put their knowledge of the language to the test and call upon their understanding of the vocabulary and grammar they have studied at school. While you can take your students anywhere in Spain to improve their grasp of the language, Valencia is a particularly popular destination. As well as being able to practise Spanish, a trip to Valencia gives them the opportunity to learn about the country's historical architecture. They can visit La Lonja de la Seda, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was built between 1482 and 1533 and is a good example of the country's gothic buildings. Another famous gothic design in Spain has to be Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. This is Spanish architect Gaudi's last work and pupils will be able to walk around the unfinished cathedral and appreciate the extent of his talents. Gaudi is also responsible for Parc Guell in the city, where you can walk three kilometres on paths and a plaza and see the designer's work. Art pupils may find Barcelona an ideal place to visit as they will be able to see more than 2,500 of Picasso's pieces, situated in the Picasso Museum. Meanwhile, those studying the likes of Goya or El Greco could prefer a trip to Madrid as these artists' works are housed in the Museo del Prado. And if you're planning on taking history pupils on school trips to Spain, Andalucia could be a good option. By embarking on a visit to the Moorish palace of Alhambra in Granada, they will be able to gain a greater understanding of the nation's close encounters with north Africa over the centuries. There are so many reasons to take students to Spain that you're sure to find something educational for youngsters to learn no matter what they are studying. If you're wondering where to take your students on school trips abroad, Spain could be a good option as it offers plenty for pupils to learn - no matter what they are studying. Equity School Travel has a range of school trips to Spain to choose from, including visits to Granada and Madrid.
