Meal plan: Half board (Media pensión) consists of a continental breakfast (coffee, tea or milk and toast or pastry, cereal), usually 7:30 am to 09:30 am, and one meal a day, either the midday meal (usually served between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm) or late supper (between 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm), seven days a week.

Breakfast (el desayuno) in Spain is lighter than other places you might be used to. The norm is coffee (café con leche) or hot chocolate (colacao), toast, cereal, cookies or muffins and maybe a glass of juice. Lunch (la comida) is usually the main meal of the day, while dinner (la cena) is often a lighter affair. These meals are served seven days a week. The sobremesa is a time spent talking during and at the end of a family meal and is important in Spain. Unless you have an urgent appointment and must be excused, you really should take advantage of this time if your host family eats together.

The homestay in Spain will be organized and managed by an external provider.
