A good way to spend a fun and creative holiday with children, working together as a family towards a common goal, acquiring new knowledge and skills in the art of self-expression and performing. This is an opportunity to act together with a group (or your family) in morning gymnastics and trying different sports (jogging in the mountains, dancing, hiit, fitness, yoga), guided hiking in the mountains, playfulness and games, creating a Family PLAY, handicraft and creativity. You will also enjoy a city brake/day out - visiting Malaga, a big Family Dinner at the restaurant in Riogordo, and Spanish language lessons
Are you ready?
We are so glad to invite you and your lovely family to experience a creative adventure in the beautiful Andalusia! This will be an experience that you share together with your loved ones and an adventure to remember for a long time! The theme for our adventure is: THEATRE. The weather at this time of the year in Andalucia (near Malaga) is quite lovely as the temperatures reach approximately 15-18 degrees Celsius at daytime and about 8-12 at night and what is magnificent- the Sun shines brightly every day! Though in March there could also be a bit of rain and harsh wind, so - please pack your clothes accordingly! Our adventurous family trip will also be an amazing opportunity for language practice, acting together as a family and meeting new friends all over the world!!!
All children of all ages are very welcome and of course you can always take the time to yourself and join us without your family if you wish so. Participation in all activities is NOT MANDATORY, but is carried out completely OUT OF FREE WILL!!! If you feel like doing something else with your family during an activity that we offer, that's totally okay and accepted. We will support you with all the advice if you wish to organize a day out instead.
