Approximately half way down Spain's Mediterranean coast lies Valencia, its third largest city. Blessed with a glorious climate, international acclaim on the footie circuit and fun-loving inhabitants (who can blame them with such proximity to the beach), this place certainly knows how to throw a good party: the literal explosion of Las Fallas festival, in March, is the culmination of them all.

And, being the birthplace of Spain's most famous dish, paella, it could also be said that the valencianos know how to cook. So why is the city not completely beseiged by tourists, like so many other parts of Spain? Ours is not to reason why - ours is simply to sit back and enjoy it, and tell you that Valencia makes a great destination to learn Spanish.

This school is brand new and is located right in the heart of Valencia, just 20 mins from the beach by bus. It is also close to a lovely park which was once the bed of the River Turia. It occupies the first floor of a modern building and has 7 classrooms, a fully equipped multi-media room, a teachers' room, secretary and meeting area.

Facilities and tuition are of a very high standard here, with a strong team of fully qualified, and native speaker, teachers. Outside class students can enjoy a full programme of activities to help them make the most of life in this wonderful Mediterranean city.

”Meeting and socialising with the other students was brilliant. The beach was a great place to hang out. The city centre is beautiful in both the daytime and evening. Overall I had a great time - much better than expected!"
