OUR SCHOOL

Our school is located at Castro Urdiales, Cantabria (North Spain).

It is a perfect place to learn Spanish in Spain. It is known that the North of Spain speak a very pure form of Spanish, without any strong accents, considered to be the standard variety of the Spanish language in the entire Spanish-speaking world.

Hospitable and safe cities spread across the region, in which life is concentrated around the historical centres.

Around the school you will find everything you might need for your convenience: supermarkets, all kind of stores, beer breweries, coffe shops, restaurants, bars, bus stops, and more.

We are surrounded by green mountains and beautiful beaches. The academy is located at five minutes walking to the beach.

Why Spanish?

Spanish is an international language, official in 21 countries in the world.

It is the mother tongue of more or less 400 million people (third language in the world) and it is in expansion.

There are also about 100 million who speak it as their second language.

More than 47 million people study Spanish anywhere in the world at this moment.

Spanish is the foreign language more studied in non Hispanic countries of America and Europe.

Its influence will be increasing (For example, Spanish is expected to be the first language of 50% of the population in the US within 50 years).
