Spain is one of the most diverse and visually stunning nations of Europe. Home to dynamic cities, beautiful beaches, cork forests and dramatic mountain ranges. Spain attracts more than 50 million visitors each year, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

Here's our top 5 locations in which to learn Spanish in Spain...

1. Spanish courses in Madrid
The city that never sleeps. Madrid is a party town and bursts with energy and life making it Spain's headiest city and the perfect place to learn Spanish. Culture, art, great food, beautiful parks and great architecture and did we mention parties? What more could you want....

2. Spanish courses in Seville
Seville is the very soul of southern Spain. Stylish, confident and fun loving and set to the rhythm of Flamenco, Seville is a wonderous city with plenty to entertain.

3. Spanish courses in Granada
Winding streets giving way to cute squares housing beautiful architecture with distant sounds of Flamenco, Granada is a true taste of the 'real Spain'. Perfectly positioned at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains and not far from the beach, you can find yourself on the slopes in the morning and by the beach in the afternoon - perfect.

4. Spanish courses in Valencia
Any city that hosts Tomantina is a must visit in my book. Beautiful beaches, vibrant and city life with a laid-back feel sweetly scented by orange blossom, this home to paella is a fun place to learn Spanish and well deserves its place in our top 5.

5. Spanish courses in Barcelona
Forget your worries about Catalan v Castilian Spanish, Barcelona is a wonderful city to learn Spanish and each school teaches Castilian Spanish so you can be sure you'll be able to use your new found words not only in Barcelona but across Spain.  Bursting with life, bars and of course Gaudi architecture, Barcelona makes for a fun place to take a language course.

And why stop at just learning Spanish? Put the lingo to good use by combining a course with learning to cook delicious Spanish food, flamenco dance, surf and more for a holiday with a difference. Don't be a tourist!
