Designed for groups of at least 6 people, these fun activities have all been tried and tested by us and our students. La Mariposa takes full advantage of our central location – the half day activities are all within an hour’s drive. La Mariposa drivers and guides (who speak both English and Spanish) accompany the activities. Each program is custom designed by you. You choose from the activities available which can be combined with volunteer/service work and/or Spanish classes. You can also opt to incorporate in your program activities such as an afternoon in Granada, a beautiful colonial city, where we visit the chocolate museum, or the surrounding White Villages where you can see local pottery being made and try your hand at making it yourself – check out our activity page.  www.mariposaspanishschool.com/activities-programs.html Please note – we make every effort to ensure your safety and comfort whilst you are with us but you need to arrange your own insurance to cover these activities. Prices are dependent on your choice of accommodation with us and which activities you choose for your individually designed program. Contact us for more information.
