Córdoba is situated
in the very heart of the part of Spain
that was called 'Al Andalus' by the
Moors. It is Andalusia that gives
colour and atmosphere to the picture
of Spain and it's here that sun, palms,
tradition and flamenco dominate. As
the historic capital of the Moors,
and litte changed since,
Córdoba is an exotic blend of Roman, Jewish,
Moorish and Christian cultures, making it like
no other place. And though a medieval feel is
still present in its picturesque squares, stunning
palaces and crooked alleys, Córdoba's charm
has not been diminished by decades of tourists.
Today, it is a young and modern city, with approximately
300,000 residents and some 40,000 university students
all enjoying its many attractions.
The
School
Located in a privileged area
in the historic centre of the city,
the school offers high quality language
tuition in a friendly environment.
The dynamic staff are all experienced
and highly qualified in teaching Spanish
to foreigners. The courses are also
designed to teach students about the
history and culture of Spain, using the latest
methods and participative techniques, and thus
enabling them to gain confidence in communicating
in every day situations. A special feature of
the school is its intercambio programme whereby
students can pair up with local Spaniards to share
their respective language skills.
Client
Feedback
”I just
wanted to let you know that we had
the most wonderful time in Córdoba
and the school was absolutely fantastic!
Córdoba is beautiful and the
people are lovely and helpful. We
spent last week touring around looking
at great buildings and eating and
drinking delicious things. I think
our Spanish had definitely improved
after our week at the school! Many
thanks for organising it all.”

Cactus Rates Córdoba
Because...
* it is a very traditional
and beautiful Moorish city, with lots of history...
* yet it retains a young and lively feel and
has plenty to do...
* the school offers a unique 'intercambio' programme
whereby students can practise their Spanish
with locals, and vice versa.
