What our students said about Salamanca
Salamanca was awesome! It was big enough that there was lots to do, but small enough that it was easy to navigate and also very safe. The climate was also wonderful – dry but very summery!
I had only seen pictures of the city, so I didn't actually get to know much of it until I got there. It is an interesting city with a lot of history and proud people.
Germany
Salamanca has a very interesting old university and public library to wonder through with amazement, as do most cities in Europe. Salamanca is not near a beach.
Australia
It's a beautiful small city. The only areas I haven't commented on are ones where I've not been sufficiently engaged in to form an opinion.
England UK
The historic core of the city is an inhabited open-air museum. The many students make it a very young city with a lot of charm.
Germany
Salamanca is a beautiful city. It is charming yet still practical. All the landmarks are worth seeing and are all affordable.
France
Beautiful city, lots of attractions, also in the surrounding area, excellent cleanliness. Absolutely recommended.
Netherlands
I don't like nightlife or shopping. I enjoyed museums, churches and historical sites in the city.
Finland
Tourist overcrowded, hundreds of groups, crowds moving through the same sightseeing main points.
Germany
This is a university town, the people are extremely friendly, and the prices are not expensive.

I experienced poor weather for almost a full 3 weeks. It's probably not usual for April.

Very friendly, competent, helpful teachers and organisers. Very personal support and atmosphere. The focus in the lessons is clearly on communication, but the necessary grammar is also taught. Small classes. Individual allocation to the appropriate level, very flexible.

Ester, Leire and Hester were welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, encouraging. The lessons were engaging and confidence building. The lessons were never easy, but they were structured in a way that positively supported my learning.
The facilities were appropriate to my needs.
Overall I felt challenged and I think the phrase poco a poco is a good summary as well as philosophy. I would definately go back when time, money and circumstances allow it.
Many thanks

The teacher was really focused on my personal needs and accommodating to the level of knowledge I had. Ana Garcia was patient and encouraging and that helped me progress beyond my expectations in such a short period.

Course: Special Intensive Course - 3 weeks
Student age: 49 years
Everything was in Spanish and they wanted us to speak as much as possible, which helps a lot. One teacher used the first bit of the class to just chat in Spanish about a topic of our choice and that was really helpful just to get a feeling for the language (I was a total beginner when I first arrived).
The teachers and managers were really nice and helpful. In my time there, there was a lot of American students and not to many from other places. But everybody was nice and friendly and I made some really nice friends!

Q&A - Questions and answers about Salamanca
- We are a family of 4 and are interested in booking a Spanish programme. Our kids are 7 and 9 years old, can you organize semi-private lessons for all of us?“We can organize semi-private lessons for the adults and for the kids but with different teachers. For the kids, we have a different teaching method, specific to their age.”Nuria Castro, Don Quijote Spanish Department from Don Quijote - Nov 28, 2022How do kids manage their pocket money? I am interested in booking a summer camp for my daughter, but at that age, we don't necessarily want to give them a debit card but then what are the other options? It would be too much cash to bring along.“We understand your concern as parents, what we have done in the past is the following: the parents send us a certain amount of money, and we give the student each week (or when he or she needs it) whatever the parents have stipulated.”Sophie L'Enfant, Administration from Colegio de España - Oct 24, 2022
