Pizza lovers look no further! This event is probably the largest celebration of pizza anywhere in the world - which is only fitting, given its humble origins in early 19th-century Naples. For 2 weeks in September the centre of Naples is filled with the irresistible smell of fresh pizza, and visitors have plenty of opportunity (that is, even more than usual) to gorge themselves. More >> 1 week General Italian Course (20 lessons) in Naples = £139 "My experience in Napoli was marvellous!
The school is wonderful, the classes engaging and the people great.
There are well thought-out activities planned for each weekday afternoon,
which is a good way to get to know fellow students, the city and
culture, and more Italian. Thanks
for your help, which really paved the way for me." Katharine

Catalan Wine & Cava Festival, Barcelona : 23th-27th Sept Maremàgnum, in Barcelona's Port Vell, is the location of this sparkling show celebrating one of Spain's most famous exports, cava. Timed to coincide with the grape harvest, this is THE place to be exhibiting if you're one of the area's 400 wine houses or merchants...and the place to be thirsty if you want to savour the generous flows of cava or some superb Alt Penedés rosés. More >> 1 week General Spanish Course (20 lessons) in Barcelona = £149 "I loved it and am gutted
to be back in London, especially in this weather! The school and
my teachers were brilliant and I have gone from zero knowledge to
being able to hold a (very) basic conversation in Spanish. I am
already saving up for my next trip." Nicola Landsborough |

| What Our Clients Say About Italy...Siena & Florence | ||||
|
"I'm a French teacher and have studied French and Spanish at university level. The friend with whom I went, Mary Roberts, chose Cactus having read the brochure. Siena is a jewel - I can enthusiastically recommend it! I was very pleased with the language classes and the cooking classes. The teachers were wonderful. I was housed in a very large apartment outside of town, and the husband and wife were very gracious. Because the apartment was outside of town, this made returning from the cooking lessons late at night a little more of an effort. Perhaps cooking students in the future could be housed closer. The trip was wonderful! My little suggestion does not in the least detract from my enthusiasm for these 2 weeks in Tuscany, and I would recommend Cactus to my friends." Mary Roberts (who travelled with Maureen) "I just returned from my Italian trip, and wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had in Siena. The classes were excellent, and the family with whom I stayed was wonderful. Siena is such a beautiful spot! My Italian has improved, and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire two weeks. I then went on to Florence 'to practice my Italian'. All went well. Ciao, Mary." To find out more about Maureen & Mary's Super Tuscan Course in Siena please email Laura. |
