We think that one of the best places in Spain
to learn Spanish is Valencia. It is large enough to keep you
busy with a variety of activities and small enough to call
the city your own. Taking a Spanish course in Valencia will
be an unforgettable experience.
Valencia, home of the paella, endless rows
of orange trees, the legendary El Cid, the Holy Grail and
the best street parties in Spain "Las Fallas" is also the home of the America's Cup, the world's largest sailing race.
A great destination to learn Spanish
With the energy and vibe that has taken hold
of Valencia, the city has become the fastest growing tourist
destination in Spain. The America's Cup activities that will
already manifest themselves from this year onwards will only
add to the many attractions Valencia has to offer.
Great city, beaches and nightlife
Valencia is Spain's third largest city but
feels comfortably small. Some of the country's most famous
beaches are nearby and the nightlife is one of the best in
Spain.
Old and New Spain come together
The city is well over 2000 years old and
a sense of history drips from every corner. A large student
community ensures that the city has not turned into a museum
and provides a very lively and pleasant environment.
Valencia is a city with a lot of energy and
it has undertaken a whole range of spectacular developments
such as the City of Arts and Sciences, the new aquarium and
has now started to redevelop the harbour that will redefine
Valencia's relationship with the sea.
Enjoy the Mediterranean climate whilst learning
Spanish
The Mediterranean climate makes Valencia
a year round excellent choice to learn Spanish and enjoy the
best that Spain has to offer.
Big City, Big Events
The America's Cup held in Valencia in 2007 has been hailed as one of the best ever. No wonder that the winning Swiss Alinghi team once again chose Valencia as the host for the next event in 2009 when sailing teams from around the world have the chance once again to see who has the fastest boat and the best team.
Another spectacular event that has been added to Valencia's busy calendar is the Formula One street race that was held for the first time in 2008.
