What you'll do

Overview

Go learn to speak Spanish in the morning and explore the hills of Granada whilst horse riding in the afternoon on this popular 1 week course for all levels from complete beginners to advanced learners; you’ll be amazed at how much you pick up when learning Spanish in Spain.

Whatever your level; choosing to combine Spanish lessons in Granada, Spain with a horse riding holiday is the best way to accelerate your learning experience.

Immerse yourself in the local culture and take home two new skills that will stay with you long after your trip is over. This is the perfect holiday for solo travellers looking for a new adventure in Spain, as you will join a group of like minded travellers who share your passion for horse riding and your curiosity about new cultures.

You will be taught by highly qualified native Spanish speakers who have a passion for teaching and use proven teaching techniques.

In the afternoon, saddle up your horse and prepare to trek through the hills of Granada and take in the stunning scenery Andalusia has to offer.

Immerse yourself in the local culture and progress rapidly by practising your new found language and horse riding skills in your free time.

*Please note: As we have to maintain social distancing, students can’t travel with the guide by car to the village where the horses are. This means students have to take a public bus to the mountain village (which is cheap and easy).
