The family provides the bed linen and towels, but students must bring their own towels for the beach.
Students will have laundry once or twice a week and they should keep their room clean and tidy, and share the housework with the rest of the family.
As in any family around the world, there are also a series of rules students must follow: be punctual to meal hours, let the host know if they are not having lunch or dinner at home, phone when arriving late...
Students have to take into account that the house in Spain is considered a private family place and organising parties or dinners is not very frequent.
Therefore, if students want to have a guest over, they should ask permission, keeping in mind that in most cases the family will not fancy the idea.
All the students should arrive the evening before the beginning of the Spanish course and leave the accommodation the day after the end of the language course.
Days before or after are considered extra nights.

Regarding the meals, students will have full board:
Breakfast: Breakfast in Spain usually consists of juice or yogurt, hot chocolate, tea or coffee with milk, bread or biscuits, butter and jam or cereals.
Lunch: During the week, from Monday to Friday students taking part in Tennis, Sailing or Windsurfing Camps receive usually a packed lunch with two sandwiches (“bocadillos”), fruit and drink, thus students can enjoy the beach or the swimming pool in the tennis school. On Saturday or Sunday (depending on the excursion planned for the weekend) lunch time in Spain is between 2.30 p.m. and 3 p.m. and it is the biggest meal during the day and it is usually the meeting the whole family. Students in the programme Spanish plus Tennis lessons will have lunch every day with the family around 14:00.
Dinner is around 21:00 or 21:30 during the week and there is not a fixed time during the weekends.
Special requirements: students with special dietary requirements should make a note in the enrolment.
All juniors and kids will receive a “Meal list” to choose their favorite dishes as a suggestion for the host family.
One week before the beginning of the Spanish language course, students will be supplied with the information concerning the accommodation: host family address, names, ages, profession, hobbies of the family and an email to contact them before arrival just to introduce them. |
