Polo lesson and pro match just outside Buenos Aires, with empanadas, asado, wine, and hands-on horse time. Small-group day trip.
“Fantastic day! The whole experience was extremely well organized; the polo campo is beautiful - manicured and clean. Exhilarating watching the processional polo players play. If you have never seen a polo match, that alone is worth the trip. Lunch was beautifully presented and plentiful. Lots of time riding the well trained and gentle horses, no previous riding experience necessary. Seriously! We were not at all rushed at any point in the day and could enjoy riding until we were all tired out. Relaxed with wine after the riding and shared some good laughs. It is a full day, best not to make any other plans for the same day.…”

“It began with a trip to one of the few traditional markets in Buenos Aires, what we call a "wet market" back home. It is what I'd expect of a wet market, except many stalls were closed due to the holiday season. For example, not a single fishmonger was working that day, and fishmongers are apparently rare in Buenos Aires due to the relative lack of seafood in Argentinian cuisine. Then we went to her cozy home with the wonderful balcony we couldn't use due to the rain, and she began the cooking class. Free WiFi is provided in her home. She was very friendly and we had a great…”

We all got to have a go at making the empanadas which was really fun. We also tasted some typical Argentinian aperitifs and sipped on wine whilst eating the food we created. It was a lovely , intimate and friendly atmosphere. Thank you David and Rosi.”

Tango Porteño in Buenos Aires: optional lesson and dinner at a restored theater near the Obelisk, ending with a 10 PM show.
“The tango show was very good, would recommend. I don’t understand Spanish and all the songs were sung in that language, but i could still feel the emotion. The dancers were excellent and the production was very well done. It didn’t seem ‘spontaneous’ and everything was staged, so maybe it wasn’t the most authentic, but it was a very good show nevertheless. Would recommend. We didn’t opt for the dinner so our seating was very far back which was a bit irritating as everyones heads were in the way, but there was no obstruction such as pillars etc. They told us to arrive by 9:30 and we came at 9:20;…”

“I really loved my time at Expanish Buenos Aires. I took the 20-hour intensive courses for a period of 4 weeks. I also opted for a homestay (without meals). From the beginning it is encouraged to speak Spanish at school, and therefore my Spanish improved significantly! Really useful for my travels after the school. It's great how the school also emerge you into local live in Buenos Aires. I took part in many of the activities, and it's a great way to get to know the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, meet fellow students and practice your Spanish in a low-key manner. Expanish is not just a school, but an…”
