If you seek to learn Spanish in the heart of Spain, look no further Spanish courses in Cuenca will provide all you want. Set in the centre of the La Mancha region where Don Quixote rode, Cuenca offers you the experience of Spanish life that the tourists rarely see. Where better to learn the language of Cervantes than in the region where he made his most famous hero live? You can still see the windmills if you care to – though tilt against them at your peril! As rich in history as the rest of Spain, from the Roman times through the Muslim kingdom of al-Andalus to its conquest by the Christians in the 12th century and beyond, this World Heritage Site will keep you endlessly fascinated. Explore the Cathedral once your classes are done, or any of the many churches that dot the town. Make sure not to miss the classical music concerts in Saint Michael’s, especially during the Religious Music Week, and don’t forget to visit the remarkable collection of religious art held in the Bishop’s Palace. If that’s not quite your thing, Cuenca also holds the Museum of Abstract Art, an archaeological museum, and a science museum. And if you just want to relax after a long day in your Spanish school in Cuenca, never fear – there are many parks where you can go to sit in quiet. Then go take a look at some of the unique hanging houses (and hope they don’t give you vertigo) before tasting some of the local cuisine.
