The Best Private Trips to Book for Your Spanish Class

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 experience in Mexico City will be similar to that in our other itinerary, as will your visit to the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan, but our course changes from then on in. 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.
