A Scavenger Hunt Adventure in Parque María Luisa

Picture a sun-soaked day in Seville, surrounded by nature and monuments, while you participate in an exciting scavenger hunt in the most beautiful park in the city.

On the Andalusia Day, celebrated every year on February 28, we took our students on a scavenger hunt that brought together two teams: the dynamic duo of Joseph and Becky, and the unstoppable force of Shelley and Cathy. The chosen place for this adventure? It was none other than the beautiful Parque María Luisa!

The Starting Line

The scavenger hunt kicked off at Glorieta de Goya, a charming spot right outside the park. Teams received the questions they needed to answer, and they set off to conquer the mysteries of Seville's most enchanting park.

Navigating Through Art and History

The adventure led the teams to Glorieta de Bécquer, named after the famous Romantic writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, where our students learned more about the poet and his work.

Our next stop was the iconic Plaza de España, a stunning combination of the Renaissance and Moorish architectural styles. Our students wandered around the place where many movies were filmed! Wouldn’t you feel like a movie star, too?

Strolling along the park, the teams found themselves at Glorieta de los Hermanos Álvarez Quintero, famous Sevillian playwrights. The ambience of the park added a touch of drama to their adventure as the teams learned about the brothers’ plays.

Next Stop: Glorieta de los Toreros and Glorieta de Cervantes
​
Glorieta de los Toreros, a nod to Spain's famous bullfighters, brought the excitement of the bullfighting ring into our scavenger hunt. Matador moves? Check! Our students had to look very carefully at all the tiles to find the hidden Nazarenes, the protagonists of Spain’s Holy Week (Semana Santa).
​
Then came Glorieta de Cervantes, paying tribute to Miguel de Cervantes. Amidst the lush greenery, the tiles narrated the story of Don Quixote, the famous knight of La Mancha who always had his loyal squire Sancho Panza by his side.

The Final Stretch: Plaza de América

The grand finale unfolded at Plaza de América, where the teams gathered to check their answers. Laughter and a shared sense of accomplishment filled the air as the participants eagerly awaited the final results. In a surprising twist, both teams emerged victorious with a tie. Who says there is only one winner?

A Tie, A Toast, and Prizes
​
With both teams emerging as champions, it was time to celebrate! Each participant received a beautiful Seville-themed apron, which represented the vibrant culture of the city, and a cava bottle to share the victory with the whole squad. Friendship, fun, and fizzy drinks – what more could you ask for? Look at their happy faces!
