We have noticed how the leisure time of our students is oriented more and more towards sports, activities and adventure.

The activities are a perfect way to practise your Spanish and also give you the opportunity in discovering the locality, learning more regarding the Spanish culture and meeting people. The activity program is not included in the course price, but we try to keep the price as low as possible.

La Herradura, is a quiet and small village situated in a wonderful bay between two cliffy mountains, Punta de la Mona and Cerro Gordo. Some time ago it was a fishing hamlet, but today it has grown and developed, becoming a residential area very attractive for the Spanish tourisms without a sacrifice of its enchantment in exchange for the progress. The long beach offers numerous facilities of practicing aquatic sports, paragliding, tennis and also other mountain sport whole year around. The richness at the bottom of the sea, has made of La Herradura a perfect place for diving. La Herradura has a great amount of “Chiringuitos” ( typical beach restaurants) where you can taste the gastronomic specialties of the zone.
