Activities & Excursions in Almuñécar
Since Almuñecar and its surroundings have so much to offer, we organise cultural, leisure and free time activities to increase our
students’ socio-cultural knowledge of Spain, both in and out of the classroom.
You will only have to pay for those which incur transport, entrance or eating and drinking costs or, if necessary, a specialist guide.
All trips and activities have an accompanying teacher or guide, however if there are not enough participants to arrange them and you
are very interested, we will help you to organise them yourself.
- Walks and Visits around the town and its surroundings: Tours around the most interesting
areas, visiting the more typical
quarters, the old parts, learning curious historical facts and legends about the town’s
origins, for example: the historical town centre, The “Majuelo” (vinery) Park and salting
factory; upper Almunecar, the Roman water course with a visit to the aqueduct
park; a visit to a subtropical plantation (bus fare costs); etc.
- Visits to monuments, museums and shows (entrance fee):
Visits to the Archaeological Museum and “San Miguel” Castle, the Ornithological Park, the
Aquarium, the “Claves de Almuñecar” (keys to Almuñecar) museum, Flamenco concerts
