Year 10 Salamanca Trip 2026

Our annual Year 10 Spanish trip to Salamanca enjoyed five days of brilliant sunshine, tapas, exciting activities and - best of all - spending time with friends.

We asked the students to share their best memories of Salamanca and some tips for those who travel next time.
