Spanish Courses in Alicante

Learn Spanish in Alicante

Alicante is the pearl of the Mediterranean, enjoying a wonderful climate all year round. Its beaches win Blue Flag Awards from the EU every year and Postiguet Beach is even located in the very centre of the city.

The area, inhabited well before the Romans, plays a vital role in the modern Spanish economy. It is a popular tourist region, and Alicante International Airport has excellent links with many European cities.

With 500,000 inhabitants, Alicante is a medium-sized city with a cultural life, a young and dynamic university, and a booming economy. You will also find here centuries-old traditions like the San Juan Festivities or the "Moors and Christians" celebrations, a revival of the "Reconquista" battles.

The Spanish spoken here has no special accent, unlike Barcelona where Catalan becomes dominant.
