One of the great advantages of the location of our school in Alicante is that it enables students to make the most both of their study and free time. Literally around the block from the center of town and the most active area in the city, you will find a whole plethora of bars, restaurants and cafes within seconds, such that you can go from working mode to bohemian laissez-faire within a few seconds.

Similarly, the beautiful beach of Alicante is no more than a couple of minutes' walk from the premises of our school. Go into class in the morning and profit from the best that the city has to offer with a charming mid-day dip into the sea, or a romantic sunset drink to the soothing tune of the waves rolling into the shoreline. Make the most of your time in Alicante and of the location of our school, taking advantage of its facilities and its location.
Summer or Winter
The weather is always temperate in Alicante, and it usually will not get either too hot or too cold, even at the height of the summer or the winter, respectively. Therefore, whether you be looking for solace from freezing temperatures or a nice place to enjoy the summer, Alicante should be on your plans for much more than its weather. Radically different in the summer than in the winter, this city has something to lure visitors all year long.
Having said that, the most typically popular time to visit Alicante corresponds to the celebration of San Juan, (the feast day of St. John), which takes place during the summer solstice, on June 23. Like in many other Spanish cities, the bonfires that mark the height of the summer are legendary in Alicante and form an important part of the regional culture and lore.
Nevertheless, the winter is equally charming in the Spanish coastline, and many people take advantage of the holidays to take a break from the cold and spend a Christmas away from the snow. To this end, we have designed a convenient Christmas course in our school in Alicante, which spans the two weeks during which Christmas and New Year's are celebrated, affording an enviable chance to improve your language skills while coming in direct contact with the culinary traditions and other customs linked to the biggest party in the calendar.
In short, the school in Alicante is equipped with every amenity to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. When you book a course here you're in for a time you'll never forget!
