Stars come to Spanish Seville!

Monday, November 9th, 2009

The hit film festival of Seville will see various top stars head to the city in order to present films or just to enjoy the spectacle.  Amongst them will be Colin Farrell, veteran actor Christopher Lee and Spanish-turned-Hollywood actress Paz Vega – all here to present the much awaited Triage film.

Triage, which will show in commercial Spanish cinemas from next Friday, is a type of horror film, though not definitively so.  Colin Farrell plays the role of a war photographer who returns after the death of his friend.  Paz Vega plays the wife and Christopher Lee plays the Spanish grandfather of her character, from who she feels distanced.

An exciting time for the Spanish city!

Not only the film but the ensure festival itself sets to be a sure fire hit – the fact that so many stars are turning out for the day proves how highly it is considered by the industry and how what happens there, how the films are judged, really will make an impact.

The city is really quite stunning itself too, not just for the exciting fetsival but for the wonderful architecture, the special atmosphere and the unique way of life.  A great city for learning Spanish in, with so many excursions around, it’s set to be discovered by video-travel blogger Lindsay Nelson – an American girl from portland who travels on a budget with her friend making video footage of her finds, commenting back for like minded students of a simlilar budget and proving how travel can really be enjoyed by everyone, no matter the price!

If you are learning Spanish in Seville then this relly is a great time to be here – the city is buzzing with excitements and the residents are keen to show off their city and welcome visitors and students alike. So look up a cheap flight and travel to the stunning Andalucian city of Seville, it’s a great time to go!  Find out more about the film festival in out other Seville Film Festival Post

The Mester Seville Team

We’ve uploaded some photos of our Mester school in Seville onto our Facebook page! If you’re not already a friend of Mester then make yourself a friend of Mester Courses and join our group too. You can even see more pictures of the Mester Language school in Seville on our website. Mester’s school in Seville is situated in the centre of the city, in the old town and can take up to 160 students in summer. The school has 16 classrooms spread over 1200 m2, all air conditioned, and also has a library, computer rooms, common rooms and loads of extra space!

Seville‘s a lively city split into loads of different areas, making it really interesting to visit and explore! It’s split into 4 main areas, which are El Arenal, Santa Cruz, La Macarena and Triana. In Santa Cruz is where you’ll find the cathedral and other important monuments. There’s loads of ways to see Seville, outside of the cultural activities and trips that we offer you can choose to go around on bike, by foot, on a tourist bus, or even in a horse and carriage! It’s situated in the south of Spain, in Andalusia, and is close by to other cities such as Granada, making it the perfect starting place to take more trips and see more of Spain.

The team in Seville are there to help you with anything you want whilst you’re taking your Spanish language course, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with them! You can see them all in the photo above, so that you have an idea of who is who!

Seville has loads of things to do and see, you could even take a trip in a hot air balloon to see the city from above! There’s loads of parks to visit, important monuments to see, and you can take a river cruise too to see the city from the water! There’s bowling, go-karting, and for the more adventurous there’s also parachuting and ice skating, or if you fancy relaxing there’s loads of spas! For the Spanish culture, there’s loads of Flamenco shows across the city for you to see.

Seville‘s really easy to get to and is worth the visit if you can make it. You can see on our website more information about how to get there. The best time to visit Seville is just as the summer is starting or ending, the temperatures in the summer are boiling and it’s really hot! The climate is mediterranean and generally very nice, it’s one of the warmest cities in Europe!

At the Typical Meal

Last week a group of Italians came to study Spanish with us in Mester Salamanca!

They stayed for 1 week and went to Segovia and Madrid amongst other activities! You can have a look on our Facebook page for some more photos of their trip. They joined in different conferences in the afternoon to help their Spanish course, and did all the activities like the Tapas trip. Luckily for them on their last night we celebrated Carnivals here in Mester Salamanca and they all got to join in just before they left for home.

They had class in the morning, followed by trips around Salamanca, Chocolate and Churros, Parties, Films, Typical Meals, Tapas trips, Cookery class, Trips around the historic monuments of Salamanca… and even more activities!
