We all know that a knowledge of Spanish is becoming increasingly important and beneficial on the career front.

Yet it doesn't matter if your group is only learning for the sheer pleasure of it, as that's exactly what it is to come to Spain and learn the language - a pleasure.

Spain offers everything all the guide books and television programmes tell us: wonderful art, magnificent architecture, unique style, excellent shopping, delicious tapas, sun-drenched terraces, beautiful golden beaches...and an enviable climate in which to soak it all up.
