Spanish Course Students and Wine-Tasting in the Club Cocherito in Bilbao

Last week, our Spanish course students had the opportunity to enjoy some special wines that came from the wineries of Fernández de Piérola. After meeting at the Instituto Hemingway, in a group of more than 10 students, we went to the famous Bullfighting Club Cocherito de Bilbao where all wine-lovers go, and which also has the reputation of being the oldest club of this type in the whole of Spain.

Once arrived, we found ourselves in an extremely traditional and sophisticated place, whose glass cabinets were shining proudly with dazzling, original costumes of various bullfighters. What's more, the walls were adorned with a series of paintings idyllically depicting many famous places in the city of Bilbao, such as the church of San Nicolás, which featured in the background Basque folk-dancers together with the figure of a bullfighter, with those striking colours that they often wear and the bull moving directly towards his cape.

So in this perfect environment, after a brief explanation about the winery, the wine flowed generously up until the sixth bottle. We tasted a variety of wine, including a rosé with hints of red wine which caused a great sensation among our students!

At this moment in time, our table had a huge variety of not only wine, but also people from various countries including Palestine, South Korea, Italy, Brazil and the USA. The Bibao locals welcomed us as fellow residents though, especially given their ability to speak English and our students' great level of Spanish.

At the end of the evening, our students' faces glowed with happiness from the glasses of wine. We ended all of this with some natural olive oil tasting, whose green colour and authentic flavours, together with bread and trays of little pork delicacies, made the night a 10 out of 10.

So if you too want to participate in this kind of activity which is included in the price of our Spanish courses, you can join us at any time of the year and we will be delighted to welcome you.

At the Instituto Hemingway, with you it is always different.
