Salamanca
Salamanca is the perfect place to spend your summer. The city is breathtakingly beautiful and has preserved its authentic Spanish charm. The Spanish spoken here is clear and accent-free, making it easier for you to understand and be understood. This is a major advantage compared to regions with strong dialects like Andalusia or places where competing local languages, such as Catalan, are spoken.
Another bonus: Salamanca is not overrun by tourists, giving you plenty of opportunities to connect with locals. This ensures that your language stay becomes a truly authentic Spanish experience. With one of Spain’s oldest universities and around 30,000 students, Salamanca offers a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere that also shapes its exciting nightlife. Prices are very affordable, there are no guest lists, and entry to the best events is often free.
Salamanca, known as the “Golden City,” has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the historic center, you can explore numerous churches, palaces, and two impressive cathedrals. However, the true highlight is the Plaza Mayor, arguably the most beautiful square in the Spanish-speaking world. It’s the city’s central meeting point before heading out for the evening. Surrounding Salamanca, you’ll also find stunning natural landscapes like the Sierra de Francia and Los Arribes, which you can discover on one of our excursions.
Salamanca is exceptionally clean and, unlike many larger Spanish cities, almost free of crime. You can walk home safely even after dark without any concerns. Public transport or taxis are rarely needed, as everything is within a 20-minute walking distance.
