A great insight of the Spanish Fiesta was given midst the heat of the bulls

Language students from Valencia in the middle of a Spanish adventure.

Valencia. If you ask students of a Spanish language school what comes into their minds when thinking of Spain, many answers are given: sun, beach, Fiesta – and of course bulls or in Spanish “los toros”. However, the traditional bull fights are not the only thing meant by that. In Valencia, for example are days were the so-called running of the bulls takes place. The animals run through the streets and the visitors have the chance to watch or even run along.
The opportunity to get to know this Spanish tradition was given to students of a Spanish language school. Together they went to Picassent, a little burgh of Valencia, where they were warmly welcomed with Bocadillos and drinks. Who wished could also try a typical Spanish anise schnapps made in Valencia. Right after drinking one shot, it is custom to get splashed with water. After a short while, this custom turned into a small water battle, which felt good considering the sun and the heat. The best thing was that everybody had fun together, regardless of the knowledge of the Spanish language or ones origin. What counted was the mutual experience!
Than it was time to go on the street were the bulls would run. A fence separated the students from the track, who was brave enough could just slip through and witness the happenings up close. Everybody sought shelter just in time for the bulls of course, but it was still very exciting.
Typical for the loose and open Spanish lifestyle there was a multitude of bars alongside the street in which one could refresh oneself in a different manner: sprinkler systems were installed on the ceiling, which soaked the visitor wet. People from all over had the opportunity to celebrate with the locals without any concern of a language barrier – it was a whole day of joy and Fiesta! Students of a Spanish language school do not just learn the Spanish language, they also learn the Spanish way of life.
Here and there, the running of the bulls could be seen from the bars and if one wanted to go somewhere else, one had to cross the street. This was not very dangerous but gave still the students a kick of adrenalin to not get tired from all the dancing. The especially brave ones even reached for the horns of the bulls or tried to touch them. This turned out to be rarely successful. Still, what mattered on this trip with the Spanish language school Costa de Valencia were not only the animals but also to have a lot of fun with this Spanish tradition.
In the evening, the opportunity was given to get to know the newly found friends even better, with good Paella. This was the crowning finish of an exciting day, which will not be forgotten by the Spanish Students in Valencia. In short: a Spanish adventure for the Spanish students.

Since 1995 the language school Costa de Valencia has focused on teaching Spanish to non-native speakers. This language school, which is situated in the heart of Valencia, is a Centro Acreditado of the Instituto Cervantes and a member of many associations.
The teaching material, which is used during the lessons, is worked out by a team of well-versed teachers. One of the most important aspects of teaching in this school is the individual involvement of every single student. This way every student has the possibility to speak very much during the language course. Furthermore, both managers place big value the quality of the language lessons and a broadly diversified leisure programme.
