In Spain people usually eat five ‘meals’ per day: Breakfast (around 8.00), ‘almuerzo’ (around 11.30), lunch (around 14.00), ‘merienda’ (around 17.30) and dinner (around 21.00).
Also, the family can organize regular trips, visits and activities at weekends, which allow students to get to know the authentic Spanish culture and perfect their level of Spanish or English.
