Social programme
IH Palma organises a varied programme of social activities for
our Spanish students. These include a "Welcome" cocktail,
visits and excursions to places of interest in and around Palma,
video films in Spanish, concerts by local musicians, and "exchange
evenings" at which students can meet and talk with some of
our other students who are learning English or German in the school.
We also take students out in the evening to experience some of Palma's unforgettable nightlife.
Most of these activities are included in the course fee. However, please note that entrance fees and transport costs (where appropriate) are not included and students will therefore have to pay for these themselves.
We also organise excursions to towns and places of interest outside Palma. These excursions are organised twice a month during the summer months and once a month during the rest of the year.
The social programme is changed frequently so that students staying for longer periods will not have to repeat specific activities. All students are given a copy of the social programme planned for the following 2-week period when they arrive.
A typical 2-week social program is as follows:
Week 1
- Monday: Welcome to IH cocktail
- Tuesday: Guided tour of the Old Quarter and Cathedral
- Thursday: Classical train ride to Soller*
- Friday: Evening visit to some 'tapas' bars or to a disco (food and drink not included!)
Week 2
- Tuesday: Castillo de Bellver
- Wednesday: Visit to Santa Maria market
- Thursday: Exchange evening with students from IH Palma
- Saturday: Full-day excursion to one of the island's beaches*
*Excursions outside Palma for which students are asked to pay a €35 supplement.
