A city carved from golden sandstone, Salamanca is a wonderfully relaxed base from which to learn Spanish.
Footsteps echo down Salamanca’s pedestrianised lanes. Almost all the old city is vehicle free, giving off an ambiance that’s as soothing as it is surreal. When walking around Salamanca you really feel like you’ve stepped back in time. But to which period in history?
That question suggests the beauty of this city. The buildings showcase 2000 years of design, all of it crafted from the same shimmering sandstone. Wine bars occupy Romanesque townhouses. Street guitarists play beneath cathedrals that are studded with sculptures. A single street takes you from Gothic to Renaissance to baroque. And the city’s main square is the finest in all of Spain.
This is a university city, which breathes a youthful energy into all the heritage. Free city events take place during most weeks of summer while outdoor terraces are ideal for joining the locals and trying out your Spanish. All this adds up to a city that can always reflect your mood. Whether you want to relax or want to party, there will be somewhere in Salamanca you can go.

Learn moreLinguaschools Salamanca is proudly accredited by Instituto Cervantes. The teachers draw on many years of experience to provide an interesting and supportive learning environment. You should learn quickly here, both inside the classroom and when living in the old city. Just like Salamanca itself, the school has a relaxed atmosphere that is welcoming to all and highly conducive to learning.
The school is situated within Salamanca’s old town, just a few minutes from the Plaza Mayor. Within a 10-minute walk you’ll find most of the city’s attractions, along with many cafes, terraces and restaurants. Free Wi-Fi and computers are available in the school and there’s a library with Spanish movies and books to borrow. Having 8 classrooms means we can be flexible with classifying groups and make sure you learn at a level that is most suitable for you.
Our courses in Salamanca are intensive and designed to help you learn Spanish quickly. Courses involve studying for 20, 25 or 30 lessons per week. You do most of your classes from morning until lunch time; afternoon lessons may be necessary for longer courses or during summer. Groups are designated based on Spanish language ability, usually bringing a mix of nationalities and ages together.
Individual classes are more intensive and Linguaschools Salamanca can create something to fit your schedule and needs – just get in touch. With our standard courses you can also combine group and individual lessons, a nice balance, especially if you are weaker in a particular area. You can also study for and take the DELE exam here.
Please note that the school is closed on bank holidays. Missed group lessons are not usually made up for. When there are 2 public holidays in 1 week, 1 day of missed group lessons will be made up for.
If you like to experience living with people from different cultures then choose a fully-equipped shared apartment. You will have your own room and stay with either Spanish people or other language students. Staying with a host family helps you experience local hospitality and culture, another great option for practicing Spanish.
Learning Spanish is all about connecting with local culture and having fun; that’s what is so great about Salamanca.
With welcome parties, dance classes and city tours, there’s always something free or cheap to do in Salamanca. Weekday activities are arranged by the teachers and make your learning program far more varied. They’re also a lot of fun. As are the options at the weekend, such as a trip to Toledo, Madrid or Portugal.
