Language programme in Salamanca
Salamanca, UNESCO-listed since 1988, is famous throughout Spain for its prestigious university in addition to its beautifully preserved old town. Salmantinos are renowned for their Spanish language courses, and Salamanca draws students from all over the world every year.
