Don QuijoteBarcelona, Spain

This is Don Quijote Academy’s main offering, providing learners with 20 lessons every week, each designed with the intention of getting students actively involved every step of the way.

You will be placed in your Spanish level following an oral and written test that you will take the first day you arrive at the school.
