The best place to learn Spanish is unquestionably the country of origin. And to be in Spain is to have access to its rich history and culture, to be studied and enjoyed in depth through its monuments and landscapes.

Valencia is an ideal location to spend the time learning Spanish. These are some of the reasons:

With almost 1 million inhabitants, Valencia is neither too big nor too small. It is the third largest city in Spain -- large enough to offer a rich variety of culture and entertainment, such as theaters, expositions, conferences, concerts, sport activities, etc, and small enough for the visitor to know and enjoy.

Among the many festivities that Valencia has we will mention only the Fallas - March 16th to March 19th with its fire works and its famous bullfights and the July Fair - July 18th to July 31st, with its matchless flower battle and bullfights.

Valencia's Mediterranean weather means mild, sunny winters, and warm summers to enjoy the beach. It can't get any better!

Conveniently connected to all major cities in Spain, Valencia is located 350 Km. from Madrid, 350 Km. from Barcelona, 800 Km. from Sevilla and 105 Km. from the Island of Mallorca.
