Information about the town and/or neighborhood |
Our school is small, with just one class for every grade (from pre-primary 5 years old to 6th grade). Families in the nearby neighborhood work in the countryside, or in shops and services in the town. They are highly involved in their children´s education. In the following
Youtube channel you can find several videos promoting our town: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurismodePriegodeC%C3%B3rdoba/videos |
|
Getting to school |
Walking is most
typical and very easy way when you live in the town. Some auxs may choose to
live outside of town, in which case buying a car or car-pooling might be
possible. (Sidenote from a former aux: I lived a three minute walk
from the school and found this to be the easiest and most enjoyable way.) |
|
Accommodation |
As Priego is a
smaller town, anywhere you live will be in easy walking distance to La Virgen
de la Cabeza school. Most flats are furnished and fairly priced. Sharing a
flat with another aux also decreases the cost of living. I found my apartment
on a website called Idealista. |
|
Contact with other Language Assistants |
At the beginning
of the year course, the bilingual coordinators exchange the emails of the
language assistants so they can keep in touch. Anyway, once the coordinators
get to know the new language assistant in the school, we share the email of
the former language assistant too, if necessary. Also you attend a large
meeting where you are likely to meet other language assistants, and Priego is
really small so you end up recognizing each other around town. |

LETTER FROM STANA (LANGUAGE ASSISTANT 21/22) |
Hello! My name is Stana, I was the
aux at La Virgen de la Cabeza for the 2021-2022 school year. I hope you had
an easy time getting here (the bus schedule can be a little difficult to get
the hang of) and have seen a little bit of the town already! Priego is so
beautiful and is full of kind people who want to help you become a part of
their community. It was a little over-whelming for me to move to another
country and a town that felt isolated, but I am so grateful to have lived
here. I won't spoil all the fun of getting to know it in your own time, but
there are a few of my favorite parts I'd like to share. First, the best grocery store
in town is the Mercadona. Excellent selection, fair prices, very central
location. But the Día has parmigian and some American imports like
Ben&Jerry's and cereals. The only store that has sriracha is the Mas y
Mas. I'm not sure where you're from or what creature comforts you crave, but
about a month into being here I craved Frosted Flakes to the point of tears.
I don't even eat Frosted Flakes when I'm in the US, I can't explain it. That
being said, the fruterías are the best places for fresh fruits and veggies. Calle Rio has some very fun
places to get drinks and socialize. I'm a big fan of Gadabout (which very
recently opened), Zyrah (try the tarta de queso!), and Dulce's (excellent
wine, beer, and an extensive tea selection). Museum is a discoteca on the
weekends and a lot of people come from nearby towns to go there and other
places in Priego. My best advice is try to find someone who knows when
there's going to be a good DJ there. For coffee fans, you can't go wrong with
any of the cafeterías in town, but my personal favorites are Miguelín (which
also has generous tapas in the afternoon) near the Mercadona and El Águila in
the center of town. For churros, absolutely try Boca Mas, the owner and staff
are very kind and I've always left smiling. Take your time exploring the
parks and walks around town! The sights are breath-taking. Go to la Ermita
del Calvario–it's just a short walk from the school and I often went there on
my breaks. There are very popular walking paths that take you into the
countryside there. I also must say, appreciate all the drinking fountains.
Every time I left Priego I found myself missing how convenient and abundant
they are. Speaking of leaving Priego, the bus station has a schedule of the
busses going to Córdoba and Granada. But Blablacar is by far the most
pleasant way to get in and out of Priego if you don't have a car. If you
haven't used it before, it's kind of like a hitchhiking app. Always message
the driver before booking because there are sometimes scams, but they're
usually very obvious because they ask for money outside of the app so you can
easily avoid them. Welcome to Priego de
Córdoba and La Virgen de la Cabeza! I quickly fell in love with this town, and I'm sure you will too.
It's different than anywhere else I've ever lived, but it has (almost)
everything you need. La Virgen de la Cabeza is an excellent school with very
friendly teachers and sweet kids, but I'm sure you'll find that out for
yourself very quickly. Good luck and have a great year! Sincerely, Stana |
