Learn Spanish in the green valleys of the Spanish Pyrenees, based at our beautiful 18th century farmhouse. Spanish schools in Spain usually offer formal Spanish lessons inside dusty classrooms while the rest of Spain lives and breathes the other side of the window pane. Spanish classes in the Pyrenees take place on the farmhouse veranda to the sound of the sheep bells across the valley and the occasional braying of the donkey next door! How our Spanish Language Courses in Spain work. And we run these courses in the Baztan Valley in the Pyrenees and courses at Getaria on the Basque coast.

Learning Spanish while walking through stunning countryside is a perfect combination. Walks are relaxed and give rise to endless topics of conversation as we ramble gently from one white-washed village to the next, talking to the local farmers and sampling the local sheep’s cheese and cider en route. Spanish teachers and friends join us on the walks and a Spanish-English dictionary in your rucksack always comes in handy.
Our walking and Spanish language holidays are all run in a relaxed open-house style inviting our guests to help themselves freely to food, wine and washing machine and make themselves at home. The Spanish teacher and staff live with us allowing us to offer Spanish immersion courses where guests can also practice their conversational Spanish during meal times and throughout the walks. Formal Spanish tuition in the afternoon with a professional Spanish teacher helps to consolidate the Spanish practiced throughout the day.
The Baztan valley is a stunningly beautiful valley nestling in the foothills of the western Pyrenees. Little known to foreign tourists it is hailed throughout Spain for its architectural purity and the traditional farming methods still in use here – some going back to mediaeval times. The landscape here is gentle and unthreatening, dotted with fields and isolated farmsteads and resonant with the sound of sheep’s bells as flocks roam freely through the hills.
Herds of horses can be found on the higher pastures, and a labyrinth of donkey tracks lead through the beech forests to the border passes where – not so long ago – a generation of smugglers stole into France by dead of night.
The Baztan Valley lies just an hour to the south of the Atlantic coast and the aristocratic seaside resort of San Sebastian, famous for its enormous bay, la concha, and for its myriad tapas bars and restaurants. To the south lies the historic city of Pamplona, best know today for its patron saint San Fermin, and the fiestas held in his honour at the beginning of July.
