Description: Learn Spanish Language in Spain:
Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe with records suggesting that the city was occupied more than 3,000 years ago. It stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water. This surprisingly laid-back town with an easy-going atmosphere offers great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades that complement the town's lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and beautiful Cathedrals typical of any prized European city. Cadiz looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares. Cadiz is also known for its famously wild Carnival celebrations. It has become the liveliest and most dazzling carnival town in mainland Spain, famous for its amusing and creative figurines and satirical song groups.

School Facilities: Located in a typical Andalusian house in the old part of Cadiz, close to the wonderful Plaza de Mina and the Alameda Promenade. The school is situated on a beautiful, tranquil pedestrian street, within walking distance from lively squares, cafes, cultural monuments, libraries, shops, universities and the beach. The school provides free Internet access and a library.
