Spanish Language School in Salamanca

The province of Salamanca situated in the southwest corner of Castile & León on the borders with Extremadura and Portugal, covers an area of 12,336 sq. km (4,763 sq. m.). Lying on Spain's Northern Plateau (meseta), it forms part of the Duero river system where Paleozonic soils, poorly suited to cultivation, have resulted in a landscape of pastures, dotted with trees and bushy undergrowth.

Winters tend to be relatively long, with minimum temperatures averaging around 6ºC (43ºF), while the shortish summers are marked by average highs that never climb above 20ºC - 22ºC (68ºF-71ºF).

The city is large enough (180.000 inhabitants) to be able to offer the advantages of a real city, but at the same time it keeps the intimacy of a village.

Salamanca has played an important role in the history of the Spanish (Castilian) language. For this reason Salamanca is enormously popular with people all over the world who want to learn Spanish. Contacts are made easily. You don't have to make rendezvous as you are bound to see everyone in the Plaza Mayor, one of the finest squares in Spain and known as the living room of the Salamantinos.

In the field of Arts, many styles have left an exquisite mark on this town. The Spanish "platersca" style, of decorative quality and fine execution, offers its most beautiful examples in Salamanca.

Salamanca is however, a real university city, Spanish students are everywhere and you can go practically everywhere on foot.

The choice is yours: there are plenty of places where only Spaniards go. The area around Salamanca also offers many facilities for cultural and sporting day-trips to villages, the mountains or to the many lakes.

We are offering you the opportunity to choose between two different schools: Gold and Silver. Each Gold School is characterised by the deeper experience and tradition, the even more favorable location in town, the more spacious interiors and the superior general comfort.

Gold School

Our Gold School in Salamanca is located in the heart of the old city centre. The building is 100 meters from the famous University of Salamanca and just two minutes away from the magnificent Plaza Mayor. The school is a recently restored 16th-century monastery. The modern materials used for the renovation create a natural balance with the richness, style and class of previous centuries.

Facilities: You enter the school through a beautiful courtyard. This courtyard and the garden divide the school into three parts: the offices, the cafeteria and the classrooms. The main building has three floors, 17 classrooms, a recreation room (with computers, video, piano, sound system, etc.), a library, a staff/lounge and three offices.

Silver School

Our Silver School is located in the historical district of the city, one minute from the Plaza Mayor, surrounded by the busy city with its cinemas, theatres, banks, bars, restaurants and an immense variety of shops.

Our centre was founded in 1989 with the aim of providing an efficient and friendly environment in which to learn Spanish. Since then, the centre has had great success, as demonstrated by the increasing number of satisfied students who come from all over the world to study here.
