Day 1: Hit the Ground Running
Day 2: Waste Management
Morning
Once you’re up, get ready to soak up some history. Embark on a civil war-themed city tour taking you around the capital’s must-sees: the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Plaza de los Cibeles and many more.
Afternoon
After a morning of culture, head to a waste management site in Parque Tecnológico de Valdemingómez. Roll up your sleeves, find out the ins and outs of managing urban environments, and learn about the ecological repercussions of human existence.
Evening
After dinner, go to the Reina Sofía to stand before Picasso’s most famous painting, Guernica. It was a big political statement, named after the town that the Nazis bombed during the Spanish Civil War.
Day 3: Insect Park
Morning
Start the day bright and early with a visit to a bullring where you can learn about Spain’s bullfighting tradition – but don’t worry, you won’t be watching a bullfight!
Afternoon
It’s creepy-crawly time at Insect Park. Students take part in a workshop about Spain’s natural habitat and the differences climate and terrain make for insects and reptiles. Insect Park claims that ‘there are more than 1 million species of insects cataloged and it is believed that there may be up to 5 million. Due to deforestation and changes in the planet many of them will be extinguished without being known.’
Evening
At the end of the day, live life like a local with some traditional Spanish tapas for dinner.
