Learn Spanish in Alicante

Sunny skies, golden sands, and the cool, blue waters of the Mediterranean make every day a true delight in this provincial capital. The year-round warm climate coupled with a strategic location have attracted people here for thousands of years — the Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans all left their mark on the city before the Moors began the intensive cultivation of oranges, dates, almonds, and rice that has had a lasting impact on the local cuisine. If you're looking for a genuine Mediterranean cultural experience, a place where you can taste some of the best rice dishes in Spain and lie in the sun, take a dip in the sea, and contemplate the Santa Barbara Castle on the mountaintop after a fun day of learning Spanish, then Alicante is the destination for you. As you study the language, you'll be soaking in the mellow beach vibes, enjoying the vibrant night life, and discovering an entire city full of history, art, and culture.

Travel Through Alicante

Alicante is a city that is easy to love; in fact, it's been voted one of the best cities in Spain to live in. It's small enough to explore on foot, but large enough to support a dynamic cultural scene and a vibrant nightlife. Spend your mornings learning Spanish with classes at don Quijote and your afternoons marveling at historic sites such as the Santa Barbara Castle, perched on a mountain overlooking the city and the sea, savoring fresh seafood on a sunny outdoor terrace, or being inspired by places like the Archaeological Museum of Alicante or the Museum of Contemporary Art. Or, simply meander down the city’s main promenade, Paseo de la Explanada, right along the marina, and swim, surf, or take a boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea. Don't forget, Alicante's most spectacular centuries-old traditions take center-stage during the fiery San Juan festivities in the month of June.

Castillo de Santa Bárbara - Santa Barbara Castle

On top of Mount Benacantil stands the 16th-century Castle of Santa Barbara, one of Spain’s largest medieval fortresses, providing great views of Alicante’s beautiful bay. It houses a museum recounting the history of the city and containing temporary exhibitions. A must-see in Alicante and just a short walk from our school.

La Explanada de España - The Explanada of Spain

La Explanada de España is where our school is located. It is a maritime promenade that runs parallel to the port and is one of the most popular areas in Alicante. La Explanada is one of the city’s emblems and is lined on both sides with rows of palm trees and filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops.

Playa del Postiguet - Postiguet Beach

Less than 5 minutes away on foot from our school is the Postiguet beach. It is renowned for the quality of its sand, its palm tree lined boardwalk and its cafes. This, together with its proximity to the Old Quarter, makes the beach one of Alicante’s most well-known attractions.

Museo Arqueológico de Alicante - Archaeological Museum of Alicante

The Mediterranean is the history of our civilization and there is no better place to get to know it than the Archaeological Museum of Alicante. This museum has an impressive collection of ceramics and Iberian art. The exhibits offer the visitor a very visual experience.

Isla de Tabarca - Tabarca Island

Tabarca is the only inhabited island in the Valencia region and is located 22 km south of Alicante. A trip to Tabarca makes for a pleasant day trip by boat. Pack your towel and snorkel: you’ll enjoy some great underwater viewing in permitted areas. Within the island is a small village with restaurants, cafes and shops.

Discover Alicante

Thousands of years ago, the Romans called the city Lucentum, the City of Light, and Alicante's bright energy continues to shine today. A lively and cultural city, Alicante perfectly represents the Mediterranean way of life. Step outside our Spanish school and discover Alicante’s unique character and history, and make sure to venture outside the urban center and visit nearby cities like Elche, Altea, or even the idyllic little island of Tabarca.
