Highlights
Learn Spanish in Barcelona, Spain
If you want to learn Spanish in one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in the world, Barcelona is the place for you. Sprawled between the beaches of the Mediterranean and the mountains of Montjuïc, Barcelona is an avant-garde, multicultural meeting place where the undulating Art Nouveau structures of Antoni Gaudí and the medieval architecture of the Gothic Quarter combine to form a fascinating European metropolis.
Learn Spanish in Granada, Spain
Known worldwide for the sumptuous palaces of La Alhambra, Granada is an endless fascinating city teeming with history and exquisite beauty. Not quite European, characterized by Moorish architecture and the gypsy "Albaicín" quarter, yet not quite Oriental, with its Renaissance cathedral and traditional Andalusian cuisine and tapas culture, Granada is one of the truly unique cities of the world.
Learn Spanish in Madrid, Spain
Madrid is conveniently located in the center of the peninsula, with ski slopes an hour away and any Spanish destination at no more than a 6-hour ride. It's a great jump-off point for traveling, but you might not want to leave when you start attending football games, concerts, the theater, bullfights, and take to the streets drinking on terraces and partying 'til the sun comes up. Come to learn the Spanish language in Madrid and join in the fun... you'll consider yourself a true "madrileño" in no time.
Learn Spanish in Salamanca, Spain
Salamanca, known as Spain's "Golden City," is home to the world's 5th oldest university and a wealth of gorgeous historical buildings. A city comprised mainly of students, Salamanca is renowned for its lively nightlife and high concentration of bars and clubs. It's the perfect place to get integrated into Spanish university life and meet other Spaniards your age.
If living in a university town, partaking in a wild nightlife and enjoying masterpieces of golden architecture appeals to you, we recommend you learn Spanish in Salamanca.
