Our Spanish school in Salamanca

Calle Placentinos, 2
37008 Salamanca
Spain

The first time you walk under the twin stone archways that lead into our Spanish school in Salamanca, you'll feel the sense of wonder and inspiration that comes with being in a space built so many lifetimes ago. The interior of the 16th-century building has been completely modernized, but parts of the ancient stone walls have been purposefully left exposed, putting our students in direct contact with hundreds of years of Spanish history. The classrooms are structured in a circle around the central patio, where students can step outside for a breath of fresh air between classes. We also have a cafeteria where you can taste the delicious local cuisine as you practice your Spanish and socialize with other students.
