The activity season’s in full swing at Mester Spanish schoool Sand it’s mainly revolving around food!  On Tuesday 2nd March, the students at Mester enjoyed a hearty breakfast of churros and chocolate – a typically Spanish snack made from something similar to waffle mixture.  Though not incredibly healthy, churros are certainly delicious!  In fact, when the weather’s cold – as it is in Salamanca now! – the churrerías (the places to buy the churros) are often packed, with long queues of hungry customers!

so many churros!

We’ve got several groups at the school who all enjoyed the breakfast surprise, including a group from Torino in Italy.  Having travelled from the IMS Regina Margherita, the group are here doing a Spanish course and enjoying Spanish life in Salamanca.

Taste it!

We also have a group of teachers here, who enjoyed the churros and chocolate too!  Coming also from Italy, they’ve come with many students in tow (in fact there’s a group of 41!).  Group Spanish programmes, once again, proving to be very popular at Mester Spanish school Salamanca.  We’re sure the teachers Paola Villa, Mila Folch Berti, Francesca Marcozzi and Emanuela Cassinari would agree!

The activities such as the churros and chocolate are a great way to get an idea of what Spanish life is and how the people here live.  It’s a cultural experience, is a great way to make friends, have interesting conversations and enrich your language learning trip.

Another recent activity has been the meal our Spanish students went on!  This is a fun tapas tour around the city, giving the students the chance to try a whole host of Spanish food – from tortilla española to a rich paella to croquetas!  Should you decide on doing a Spanish course here at Mester, then our activity programme’s a must!  You can enjoy the free activities every night – films, art conferences, history talks for example…An excursion at the weekend (the beach in Portugal, Madrid, Segovia…) and a couple of fun nights out during the week (typical Spanish meal, tapas tour through the city, the welcome party at Camelot…).  These activities will be the highlight of your trip – doing something new, meeting new people and seeing your Spanish improve with every day!

even a Dj on the night!

The churros and chocolate are a much loved tradition at Mester and we’re glad to say that for any students looking to come to the school to do a Spanish course, they can look forward to having this gorgeous Spanish breakfast one day in the week!
