Orientation meeting so that the students can better grasp where the school is located
Guided tours through the historical center of the city (Casco Viejo, Abando, Plaza Nueva, Begoña)
Attending cultural events: theater, concerts, cinema, week-long festivals, carnival, latino and Salsa music, etc)

I had a great time there in Bilbao. The School was GREAT!! I loved the city and staff was very helpful. I learned so much that now I can communicate with anybody irrespective of country origin (more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries) I also had time to go around the superb surroundings and fantastic beaches and all in all thumbs up!!

I loved Bilbao! I was right when I chose this city and this School as I did not want to go where all people go due to media advertising. This city is real Spain and I enjoyed very much my experience improving my Spanish with Instituto Hemingway. They do a lot of interesting things
