Day
1
Walking tour of Toledo and visit the Alcazar
After touching down at Madrid airport, you’ll hit the ground running with a lesson of discovery with a historical walking tour of Toledo. Students will uncover the city’s fascinating history by visiting the Caves of Hercules, the Covent of San Pedro Mártir, the Roman baths, and the Church of St. Román.
Next, you’ll visit Alcazar, a stone fortification located in the highest part of Toledo. Once used as a Roman palace in the 3rd century, it became a symbol of Spanish nationalism during the Spanish Civil War after being restored in 1535. Today, it’s the site of the city’s Army Museum and showcases Renaissance style.

Shop in the market and take the Tourist Train of Toledo
Start the day with a 1-hour language workshop that will set the scene for the activities ahead.
Head to the market to feel the hustle and bustle of locals chatting and shopping. Students can practice Spanish by buying their favourite food like Manchego, marzipan, or Magdalena.
Hop on the Tourist Train of Toledo and take in the sights. From Plaza Zocódover, you’ll pass the Alcázar before heading over the River Tagus to Mirador Vuelta al Valle. Enjoy spectacular views of Toledo before continuing your journey through the impressive walled gates.
Day
3
Painting and writing workshop, street interviews and Flamenco dancing
Kick things off this morning with a visit to Toledo Town Hall and learn how the city is governed. Students will gain invaluable insight as a councillor shows you around the historic palace.
Next, you’ll test artistic and linguistic skills in a painting and writing workshop. Students will create their own masterpieces inspired by paintings they’ve seen in a museum, gallery or church. Then, their peers will identify the painting it was inspired by and critique the two pieces of art. This will help incorporate analytical and linguistic skills while learning about traditional Spanish artwork.
Next, get to know the locals with Vox Pop on the Hop! Students will be tasked with street interviews where they will ask Toledo residents questions about anything from information about the city, their favourite sights or what they’re up to today. These interviews will push students out of their comfort zone and put their Spanish to the test!
You’ll end the day with a taste of Spanish culture at your dance lesson! Students will learn different Spanish dances, including the iconic Flamenco. This is a great way to get an insight into the culture while practising language skills as instructions are given in Spanish.
Day
4
Visit to a marzipan factory and cooking lesson before heading home
Toledo is famous for its marzipan so your trip wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the marzipan factory! During this sweet activity, you’ll learn how marzipan is made and how it became a Toledo favourite.
Next, you’ll experience more culinary delights by learning how to make the tastiest tapas with an interactive cooking lesson. A Spanish Chef will teach your students how to prepare and cook traditional dishes. This is a great way to glimpse into the culture and practice the language.
It’s then time to say adios to Toledo as you head to Madrid airport for your flight home.
