ACTIVITIES
From surveys conducted amongst our students, it is clear that extra-curricular activities and excursions are greatly appreciated. Not just as an opportunity for all the students to get to know one another better, but also to gain a better understanding of the culture and way of life of the country.

The number and diversity of excursions to interesting places in the vicinity at the weekends is great. There is no question of a standard offering. The students have an important voice in the excursion destination. The excursions, for which you will pay a nominal fee, only go ahead if a sufficient number of people take part.
The activities and excursions are announced weekly in the office, where you can go with any queries or to put your name down.
All schools have a central meeting and recreational area for our students. Here you can watch TV, read the newspapers or a book, do your homework, and play chess or many other board games.
You will be given your don Quijote student card on your first course day. This card entitles you to discounts in various restaurants, bookshops, cafés and swimming pools.
Sports enthusiasts can really enjoy themselves at don Quijote: aerobics, basketball, fitness training, golf, hockey, swimming, football, tennis, horse riding and much more. Ask in the office about practising individual sports.
Meeting and talking to natives!
An intercambio takes place outside the lessons: you teach English, German or French to a native Spanish speaker, in return, they will teach you Spanish. This is an excellent way to get to know the locals. The office can give you more information or help you with your first contacts.
