View our guide to studying Spanish with a few recommendations and suggestions to get you started.
Spain
There are many language schools all over Spain that range in type and price. If you want to head away from the tourist trail though so you can immerse yourself as much as possible in the local culture then you could check out the beautiful cities of Murcia and Cadíz. A school that comes highly recommended in Murcia is Instituto Hispanico de Murcia.
However, these two cities are in Andalucía, where the accent is very strong. If you want somewhere with a more neutral accent, but still away from the main tourist trail then Salamanca or Valladolid, in northern Spain are great options. Check out the Mester School in Salamanca.
Latin America
If Latin America appeals, Don Quijote have schools located throughout Central/South America in countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. They have a good reputation and also have partner schools in Spain. For a special destination, Costa Rica is beautiful. The COSI Language School offers classes on the beach or even in the Manuel Antonio National Park, in the middle of the rainforest!
Wherever you decide to go you should enrol yourself in some Spanish classes to get a basic grounding in the language first. Your interaction with locals, host families or children will enhance this knowledge. Do some research to find the best Spanish schools in the areas you want to go to.
