A quiet and beautiful rural area
Our field centre lies in a quiet and beautiful rural area of Sierra de Gredos, just over two hours’ drive to the west of Madrid. Our groups are both accommodated and taught at the centre itself, with many activities also taking place on site. Groups can also enjoy day trips to Salamanca and Avila and enjoy the challenge of a treasure hunt in both cities!

We carefully listen to your curriculum needs and tailor-make your itinerary to achieve the best possible result.
