We believe it is essential that our pupils get to know the city they are studying in and for this reason we organise regular guided tours to the historic city centre, museums, churches and other places of interest. Cádiz, with a population of 140000, is a city with a very active and appealing cultural life – flamenco dancing and singing, theatre festivals, cinema, folklore and opera and theatre seasons.

All such activities are accessible to our pupils who are promptly informed of the events which take place in Cádiz so that they can take part in them. Every week we organise various extra curricular activities, like visiting the most important places in Cadiz, the cathedral, Tavira tower, la Caleta etc.

Also we go out for meals together and enjoy the delicious gastronomy of Cadiz, which is a compilation of Andalusia’s most appetising dishes. The produce of the mountains and the sea, accompanied by outstanding wines, will transform any visit into a delicious experience.
As far as travelling and excursions are concerned, GADIR regularly organises trips around the province of Cádiz. Such trips include El Puerto de Santa María and Jerez de la Frontera, (world-famous for their wine cellars), trips to the White Villages , (such as Arcos de la Frontera, Vejer de la Frontera, Medina Sidonia, Zahara de la Sierra etc., the Costa de la Luz, from Cádiz to Tarifa and Gibraltar, the Parque Natural de Grazalema, (with its pinsapos, the only Spanish fir trees in Europe) or the Parque Natural de Doñana, (the nature reserve of southern Europe).

What is more, from Cádiz it is very easy to visit the main Andalusian cities (such as Sevilla, Córdoba and Granada, as well as neighbouring countries: Morocco and Portugal.

These families are chosen carefully and monitored through regular inspections and student feedback. The host family may be a married couple or a single woman with or without children. The most important thing is that there is a family atmosphere and that you get to know the lifestyle of the country in which you are studying.
