The evening activities were fun and well catered for.
Disliked
Unfortunately did not get the (50+) course I had booked. After asking several times and getting confirmation that it really was a 50+ course, it turned out on the spot that I was in class with 20-year-olds. The classrooms themselves and the tables are very small.
Insider tip: 50+: don't book here! They are not ready

The activities with Javier were very good.
Disliked
50plus class didn't take place, plus I suddenly had classes from 1-5pm instead of 9am-1pm. Organisationally, there was no time for lunch and the afternoon activities that started at 6 p.m. in the city are not possible in terms of time, the bus alone takes 20 minutes to get to the city.... Because there was neither enough time nor the 50plus classes with peers, my friend and I were only at school on Monday. All very unfortunate, because if the 50plus course does not take place due to a lack of participants, you should be informed in advance so that you can withdraw if necessary.
