EXPERIENCE “A LA CARTA”!
At VERSA, we believe in offering our students a truly enriching experience. Alongside our Spanish courses, we provide an array of exciting extracurricular activities that allow you to make the most of your stay in beautiful Asturias.
Imagine starting your day catching the perfect wave while surfing along playa San Lorenzo, or capturing breathtaking moments with your camera during some photography workshops. Get your groove on as you learn traditional dance moves, savour the flavours of Spain through delightful cooking classes, or embark on an exhilarating horse riding adventure through picturesque landscapes.
If you’re a nature enthusiast, hiking expeditions will take you through breathtaking trails, while some wildlife watching activities will bring you closer to the diverse flora and fauna that call Asturias home. And let’s not forget the joy of exploring the charming streets and museums of Gijón, a city teeming with unique experiences, local traditions, and friendly faces.
By combining our intensive Spanish courses with these diverse activities, you’ll not only become proficient in the language but also create memories that will last a lifetime. Our dedicated team is here to ensure your time in Asturias is unforgettable, filled with adventure, learning, and the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the local culture.
In addition to the activities we offer, we believe that true cultural immersion involves connecting with both fellow foreigners and friendly locals. At VERSA, we create a welcoming environment that fosters meaningful connections and encourages you to mingle.
You’ll have the opportunity to engage in group activities and interactive discussions that allow you to practice your Spanish skills while forging friendships with fellow students. Share your experiences, learn from one another, and create bonds as you embark on this language learning journey together.
Furthermore, we encourage you to embrace the warmth and hospitality of the locals in Asturias. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local culture, interact with native speakers, and discover the hidden gems of Gijón through authentic experiences. From engaging in conversations at local cafes to participating in community events, you’ll have countless opportunities to connect with the locals and gain a deeper understanding of their customs, traditions, and way of life.
Mingling with both foreigners and locals not only enriches your language learning experience but also provides a broader perspective on the world and enhances your intercultural competence. Join us at VERSA Spanish Academy, where Spanish learning goes beyond the classroom!
