Peak Me | A language school with a twist

I had so much fun at Peak Me! My partner and I did two days of the Walk & Talk program, which involved beautiful and refreshing morning hikes/chats with Vivi, and intensive language lessons in the afternoon/evening with Ana, Estrella, and Celina. Everyone was so lovely and passionate about providing our student group with a wonderful and tailored experience. (As a bonus, our group got along quite well with each other -- ¡hola, Mary y Sam!). Nature, Spanish language, new friends -- very much recommended.

We had a fantastic time. The combination of lessons and walking was a great balance. The structure of the classes worked well. All the teachers were excellent and we had great fun. I would highly recommend Peak Me Languages - the organisation & delivery were seamless from first enquiry right through. The area is beautiful and the food in Panes was great. We plan to return!

This is a hard working and walking holiday and I loved it. The walks were roughly about 3/4 hours each day and the lessons 4 hours each day. My Spanish has improved and I really enjoyed it all. Everyone in the village of Panes is really friendly and welcoming with a great community feel. I thoroughly recommend it.

The school is a fantastic place! It provides an opportunity to brush up on your language skills in a small group in a beautiful environment of Picos de Europa! The village, Panes, is a serene place that allows you to feel relaxed. It offers some good food options (really cheap as well:>); but note to go out with others as portions are humongous. The lessons are varied and focused on conversation. Bear in mind that the school is very small (2 classrooms) so they cannot accommodate many different levels at the same time. It was not a problem for me. I was in a group with 2 others and even though our skills were not completely uniform (my speaking for example lags behind other aspects) I thought it worked out well and we all benefited. The hikes were lovely. They could have been more challenging for me (they were adjusted to a general fitness level of the group) but I still loved them.nnPanes is easy to reach from both Bilbao and Santander with Alsa bus + taxi from Unquera so probably it is not worth to pay for an expensive private taxi.nnOne thing to note is that when in Panes, pubic transport is highly limited so if you plan to go around on your own you either need a car or need to rely on local taxis. Having said so, local taxi services are run by very friendly people, who are flexible in driving you to hiking spots and picking up you after. Mary Carabel was a blast to interact with!nThe teachers are there to help if you need any help about moving around

I thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish classes and walks in the surrounding areas of Panes. This was reinforced when I realised how much I talked about it as I related the week I spent there, to my friends back home. Right from the start with the booking, I found Ana helpful and professional - answering all my queries and assisting me with the local travel and accommodation arrangements.nI hope to visit Panes and the scenic and spectacular region again.nLily Wong,nSydney - Australia
