About Us
Nory
Your Retreat Organiser & Cook
Hey there, I'm Nory, a language lover thrilled to guide you on a journey of discovering the joy in learning languages and connecting with awesome, like-minded folks along the way.
As a big foodie, nothing makes me happier than bringing people together, spreading smiles through fun activities, and of course, delicious food.
With over 8 years of experience organizing language exchange events across Europe, I can honestly say it's my passion and joy to see two or more people connect and become friends during these occasions.
I'm super excited to welcome you to our retreat, where I'll be making sure you are all comfortable, relaxed and fully ready to immerse yourself in the beautiful world of Spanish language and culture! 😊
Victoria
Your Native Spanish Teacher
Hello, I'm Victoria from Gran Canarias in the Canary Islands. With over 21 years of experience teaching Spanish, my passion lies in helping students speak this fascinating language the best they can.
Witnessing a complete beginner confidently converse in Spanish is my greatest achievement—it's like watching "my child" take their first steps.
My ultimate calling in life is to continuously educate and reinvent myself as a teacher, ensuring I deliver the best, most enjoyable, and efficient classes for my students.
Why the name PICOS?
We’ve chosen the brand name PICOS for our Spanish Immersion Retreat business because it perfectly reflects both the location and our mission.
Our retreat is the only one in the Peak District, affectionately known as "The Peaks." In Spanish, "peaks" translates to PICOS, symbolizing not only the stunning natural setting but also the idea of reaching the peak of your Spanish learning journey with us.
