Specialized in teaching Spanish as a foreign language
Spanish Courses Unamuno was founded in 1987, being one of the first schools of Spanish for foreigners in Salamanca.
We are a center in charge of the dissemination of Spanish culture and civilization. In Spanish Courses Unamuno believe that learning Spanish does not end in the classroom, so we offer programs with courses and cultural activities for the students to learn and live the Spanish culture.
Our Students
Spanish Courses Unamuno receives annually an average 4000 students. The average students in school usually is about 70 or so. But this number tends to vary depending on the month, with an average of 40-50 usually in the months of lowest attendance (October to December) and 80-90 in the months of further assistance (February to August).

The languages of student services at the center are: Spanish, English, French, German and Italian.
