WHAT WE LIKE about this Program! -Truly individual, interesting, and safe city - Great night life, music & Salsa dancing - School (10 min. from the Old UNESCO City center)

Enjoy a Spanish language course in Cuba at our language school in the city of Havana.

Havana is the capital of one of the few Communist states remaining in the world today, but it does not have the moribund feel normally associated with Communism. Havana has a sense of fun and the city sizzles at night.

Situated on the north coast of the island, it is built around a deep harbor and has exquisite Spanish colonial architecture with baking plazas whose only shade is towering palm trees. Hidden doorways lead to cool courtyards and the facades of the buildings are graced with wrought iron balconies where whole families sit to observe passers by.

SCHOOL FACILITIES - 8 Large & bright classrooms (some with AC) - Spacious social rooms, student kitchen, snack bar - Students can relax on a garden/patio between classes

Our school is located in the in the pleasant district of Miramar, not far from the sea, 10 minutes away from the Old UNESCO City and about 15 km from Havana airport. Miramar is an upscale district of Havana where a significant number of diplomatic headquarters are concentrated.

Our school is housed in a renovated Cuban building. For those students staying at our hotel, they can choose to walk or catch the free bus transfer to the school. At the rear of the school we have a dance area where Salsa dancing courses are held, usually in the late afternoon.
