What is school like in Spain?
Students often walk, ride bikes, or ride special school buses or public transportation, depending on the distance from the school and individual circumstances. Students in rural areas generally ride the school bus. Wealthier families might take their children to school, especially if they attend a private school. At the end of the school day, children return home the same way. Students who attend a school with a long lunch break will sometimes go home for lunch and then return for the afternoon session of school if their family gathers for a traditional midday meal.
