Spanish language courses in SALAMANCASalamanca is called "La Dorada," the Golden City, because its buildings are made of a golden sandstone. If you approach Salamanca from Madrid, you will at once feel its rich historical legacy, and you will find it a most beautiful city. Alfonso IX of Castille and Leon is responsible for the city's worldwide fame: he founded the first university in Spain in Salamanca. Salamanca possesses the advantages of a big city and yet is small enough to offer the intimacy of a village. Its main square, Plaza Mayor, is the perfect meeting point. Spaniards and foreigners gather there to go to pubs or just to enjoy the sights from one of its many cafes. Learn Spanish in a historical and fascinating city.

Colegio de Espaņa Salamanca offers courses at two separate locations where to learn Spanish in the city: the main office and a few of the classrooms occupy part of a convent which is housed in an old historical building (pictured below). The main entrance opens up into a courtyard garden with fruit trees and flowers. The classrooms are large but basic. Although the premises lack modern amenities, the center makes up for it with the high quality of the instruction and the characteristic charm of a centuries old building. Additional classrooms are located 2 blocks away along the same street in more modern and functional facilities. Both buildings are located in the center of town within a 2 minute walk of the Plaza Mayor.
