Every day is a new venture into Spanish history in Salamanca,
which boasts large collections of art, architecture from pre-Roman
times, and some of the greatest Renaissance-period structures
in the country. Salamanca also has great weather year-round,
making outdoor festivals and activities a daily practice. The
ease of navigation and the friendly atmosphere of this timeless
city make it a comfortable and educational place to learn Spanish.
 |

 |
The glorious Plaza Mayor gives
students an opportunity to meet not only locals,
but also people from all over the world. |

Salamanca enjoys a lot of sun and very
little rain. Summertime in Salamanca can get very warm,

Chapen and other unique sculptures. |

“Creo que las clases
tienen mucha organización. Me gusta que las profesoras
se comuniquen para que una sepa lo que la otra ha hecho
en la clase anterior ¿y las profesoras? son superamables
y chistosas. No esperaba divertirme tanto en la clase,
pero reirme era inevitable. En suma, he gozado de estar
en clase y de ser parte del programa.”
