Our Winter Edition of SpanishSlow takes place in the stunning Matarraña region (Aragón, Spain) from December 28th to January 3rd, combining Spanish lessons, cultural activities, and local experiences.

- Discover local traditions such as olive oil production and winter gastronomy.
- Enjoy outdoor activities like nature walks, foraging for mushrooms, and visiting family-run farms.
- Celebrate New Year’s Eve the Spanish way: eat the traditional 12 grapes at midnight, share dinner with locals, and welcome the year surrounded by culture, warmth, and new friends.

This unique program is designed for those seeking more than tourism: it’s a true immersion into Spain’s rural life, with slow rhythms, authentic encounters, and unforgettable memories.
