Cultural Activities

We recommend a series of visits that will allow you to get to know the history, culture and art of Alicante.

You can sign up for these activities in the enrolment form itself or at the school reception desk.

Besides the guided tour of the city on the first day of the course, Zador Spanish School organizes different cultural visits with your Spanish teachers to help you to know Alicante. Here you have a short description of some interesting places and monuments you will visit with your Spanish teachers.

Santa Barbara Castle - This is one of the Europe’s biggest medieval fortresses. It is located on the peak and hillside of the Benacantil Mountain, so, from its privileged position, you can see the entire Bay of Alicante.

Cathedral of San Nicolás - It was built throughout most of the 17th century over the remains of an old mosque, although it also preserves traces of a 15th century cloister. It is of late Renaissance style, and therefore, it is sober in its external aspect.

Asegurada Museum - This is the town's oldest preserved civil building. It was built in 1685 by the Municipal Council as a corn storehouse. However, throughout its life, it has been used for a variety of purposes: it became the Town Hall headquarters while the present one was under construction; it has been a prison and a storehouse for artillery during the Peninsula War, a secondary school, a business school…

Archaeology Museum - The Archaeology Museum is located in the old Hospital of San Juan de Dios, and its exhibits span the Paleolithic to the Modern Age, with a special emphasis on Iberian art.

Discover Alicante's past and origins, the legacy of the different civilizations that left their imprint on the province and its ways of life.

Sport activities

Do you want to get fit? Do you want to practice some of your favorite sports? Do you want to try something new?
