Learn Spanish in Guanajuato
Guanajuato, Mexico
Hidden in Mexico’s central highlands, World Heritage Guanajuato is a city of colour, history and tranquility.
It’s easy to fall in love with Guanajuato. This is one of Mexico’s oldest and best preserved cities. Cobblestone streets wind through the hills, leading to tree-filled plazas and old churches. Most of the houses are highly colourful and give off an air of faded, colonial grandeur. The people are warm and welcoming, keen to engage visitors in conversation, whether on an outdoor terrace or at a small hole in the wall bar.
This is a tranquil city and there are so many ways to rest and unwind after Spanish classes. Walking the World Heritage streets is an experience you can’t get tired of. Museums and markets help give you an appreciation of the city’s 16th-century history. Yet there’s also a youthful vibrancy to Guanajuato. This is a big university city, with some 30,000 students bringing a new dimension to all the heritage.
Cultural festivities take place throughout the year as well, further opportunity to experience what it’s really like to live in Mexico. Despite its beauty, Guanajuato is not that popular with tourists. So you’ll really have an authentic experience here.

Spanish courses in Guanajuato
Learning Spanish at Linguaschools Guanajuato is an intensive experience. This helps you improve quickly and maximise your time in the city. As we have many classrooms and teachers we can keep the groups very small, with just 2 to 5 students. Groups are based on Spanish proficiency and you’ll do an informal test on the first day, so you’re placed in the correct group. With group classes you learn with students from all over the world and follow a wide-ranging curriculum.
Individual courses are also possible in Guanajuato. These are ideal if there is something specific you want to work on – for example, medical Spanish or conversation. As with all Linguaschools locations, we can tailor an individual course to both your language needs and the time you have available.
Please bear in mind that the school is closed on bank holidays. All lessons missed due to a bank holiday are made up for.
Accommodation
To learn a language you need to be in a friendly and comfortable environment. This is extended from the school to our accommodations, whether you stay in the colonial-style student residence building, or enjoy true Mexican hospitality when living with a host family. Both options provide privacy and independence.
