SEVILLA
______________

Seville is an open, vibrant city, which draws people out of their homes. Sevillians literally live and socialise on the street. All year round there are countless things to do in Seville: stroll through the city, visit unique monuments, museums and exhibitions, go to shows… Whatever you do and wherever you go, you will enjoy the hospitality that makes Seville a most friendly, welcoming place to visit.

Despite its transformation into a modern trade center, the "Beauty of Andalusia" as Seville is also known, continues to be the heart and soul of Spain. Like no other place, it clings on to the old customs and the world-renowned stereotypes about Spain. Color, bullfighting, "real" Flamenco, and a happy go lucky way of life. The countless number of "fiestas", especially the Semana Santa (Holy Week), and the Feria de Abril (April Festival) are the most famous, but not the only examples of those traditions.

THE LANGUAGE SCHOOL
________________

Our Spanish language school founded in 2000 is located in the heart of Seville, a charming, historical city of 800,000 people and the capital of Andalusia, the Southern region of Spain. Our school is in a pedestrian street in the city's liveliest shopping district.

The school occupies a three-floor building, a recently renovated, traditional Sevillian house, with 7 bright classrooms and a rooftop terrace.

We organise cultural/leisure activities twice a week, parties, exchange programs, and weekend tours of Andalusia. Our activities range from cooking classes or Sherry wines tasting to flamenco dancing.

We help you discover the magic of Andalusia!
