Learn Spanish Language and Culture
in Salamanca!

Our teaching philosophy is based on the old motto "enseñar deleitando" ("to teach so that learning is enjoyable"). We want each student to acquire a theoretical knowledge in the classroom as well as knowledge based on experience in the real world. That is why we promote personal contact with professors, intellectuals, writers and artists, in addition to other students from Salamanca.

Salamanca is a safe and peaceful city. You can placidly travel through the city from edge to edge in 30 minutes. The people are open and friendly to travelers. From the words of Cervantes, who knew the city well, "Salamanca enchants the will because once you have experienced its placid character, you have to go back".

Salamanca, in the past called "the castilian Athens" and "the little Rome", has three universities with more than 40,000 students. The public university was founded in 1218. This tradition has been vividly maintained for you can find many libraries, theaters, cinemas and art exhibitions. Students have also many opportunities for leisure in the bars, cafes, pubs, discotheques, restaurants, gyms, and other sporting events.

Declared "Human Heritage City" by UNESCO, Salamanca possesses a variety of historic buildings unique in the world. The rock of Villamayor with its unmistakable hues, has given origin to the famous expression, "Salamanca, ciudad dorada." Of special interest are the magnificent Plaza Mayor, the two cathedrals and innumerable convents, palaces, and churches.
