Homestays in Spain

From Elizabeth Allen,
Upper School Chair
of Modern/Classical Languages

The girls are truly enjoying the opportunity to be a part of a family and the community of Alicante. They were disappointed about the lack of time in Madrid, but understood that this is one of the vagaries of world travel and seem quite happy here. They loved the trip to Valencia. And they are very excited about the trip to the Alhambra this Saturday, which is such a rare and important site for them to see. Granada's cathedral will also be a great visit. While in Madrid, they did have a visit to the Prado, the Retiro, the Puerta de Alcalá and the Plaza Mayor (very briefly), so the only thing that we had to cancel was El Escorial. Amazing what we were able to do in six hours.
