Salamanca Spanish School
Current temperature:
The Salamanca Spanish school is located in the center of the city, only five minutes from Plaza Mayor, Salamanca’s main square.
To be more precise, the school is located on the corner of Gran Vía.
As regards the building, the Salamanca Spanish School building is a former convent and has a deep history: in the first half of the 19th century, it was home to the College of Medicine, and it only became a school in 1916 when it was taken over by a religious sisterhood, Las Siervas de San Jose. The main entrance impressively opens onto a beautiful cloister, the so-called "well yard".
You can be sure that you will always have a lot of fun here. For instance, some trips you can choose from are Plaza Mayor, Old Cathedral and New Cathedral, Ayuntamiento, Casa de las Conchas, Convento de las Dueñas, La Sierra de Francia, La Sierra de Bejar, Duero River & Campo Charro, among others.
