Description: Learn Spanish in Spain, in Alicante or Vitoria, with ZadorSpain language Schools.

ZadorSpain offers you two very different destinations in Spain: Vitoria in the North, in the Green Spain of forests and vineyards; and Alicante on the Mediterranean coast, in the Blue Spain of the Mediterranean Sea and orange and lemon trees.

* Both schools offer Spanish courses for adults throughout the year as well as Summer Camps for teenagers and kids in the summer.

* Passion combined with professional Spanish language teaching
We love the Spanish language and we love teaching it. We specialise in teaching Spanish language to students of many different nationalities, always with passion, doing our best to be as efficient and reliable as we can so that you learn as quickly as possible.

* Experience teaching Spanish since 1990
From the opening of our Spanish language school in 1990 until the present day, we have greatly broadened and improved our Spanish programs thanks to the help of the companies and educational centres for whom we have organised Spanish courses and, fundamentally, thanks to the experience that comes from our daily work with you the students of Spanish language and the driving force behind our Spanish language schools.

* Learning Spanish with a communicative approach
Your progress in the Spanish language is our priority. For this reason we pay special attention to the teaching methods and the materials we use in our teaching of Spanish language and we only offer Spanish courses in small classes with an average of 5 students per class and a maximum of 7.

Different Spanish Language Programs for Adults All Year Round to Suit Your Needs. ZadorSpain offer you various different programmes of Spanish language study.

1) The most popular courses with our students are the General Spanish courses:
*Standard Course, with 3 Spanish lessons per day
*Intensive Course, with 4 Spanish lessons per day
*Super-Intensive Course, with 4 Spanish lessons per day in a group plus one intensive private Spanish lesson as well as a total Spanish immersion program abroad and learn Spanish quickly.

* We also offer programmes of Spanish for specific purposes Business Spanish, Spanish for preparing Instituto Cervantes exams, Spanish & Culture& as well as programmes of Holiday language Courses, such as Spanish & Golf, Spanish & Tennis, Spanish & Sailing or Windsurfing, Spanish & Excursions or Spanish & Wine Tasting&

Of course, both schools offer plenty of optional activities for the adult students studying with us so that they are sure to enjoy their free time after the Spanish lessons.
In Alicante, you can enjoy the excellent view from Santa Barbara Castle discovering just how blue the Mediterranean sea really is, (on a sunny day obviously!), you can go to the Explanada de España Promenade, take a chair and sit chatting to the other people there, you can visit Valencia with the impressive City of Arts and Sciences or have a sweet day visiting the Museum of Chocolate in Villajoyosa or the Museum of Turrón in Jijona. You can discover the beauty of its inland landscapes with white villages spread over the mountain, go surfing on the coast or go sailing for a day to feel the wind on your face. You can taste Mediterranean cuisine on a terrace in Calpe surrounded by fishing boats, smell oranges freshly picked from an orange tree, go to Elche and walk under the shadow of enormous palm trees in the biggest Palm Forest in Europe or simply sunbathe with a tasty and colourful ice cream in your hand and... there is also much more too that we don´t want to explain so that it adds to the surprise when you get here!

In Vitoria, you can explore the medieval area near the school visiting the four gothic churches and discovering beautiful squares to sit down in and breathe in the "medieval air" of the Machete Square and the narrow streets. If you like walking there are lots of parks and pedestrian streets. If big cities and impressive monuments is your type of thing, then Bilbao with the titanium of Guggenheim Museum is definitely worth a visit. However, if you prefer natural landscapes with every shade of green, you will have a problem deciding which mountain to climb! If you travel in a North-easterly direction for an hour, passing many mountains on the way, you reach San Sebastian- celebrated for its charming atmosphere and the Concha bay. To the East, you can have a drink in Pamplona with Hemingway (in statue form); to the South, go to the Rioja balcony, see the vineyards-covered hills, go down the mountain range and again, you will have difficulties selecting a winery visit: a big one? a modern one? a traditional one? a winery in a village? or simply one which is surrounded by vineyards? Whichever you choose it will be an equally good experience: all have a fantastic red wine to taste: Cheers!
* If you need accommodation for your study abroad program, we can help you choose the accommodation which best suits your needs: you can live with a family to immerse yourself in daily Spanish life; in a shared flat with other Spanish or foreign people, to have a bit more independence; in a studio apartment so as to have some privacy, or in a rural house to be close to nature.
* For your safety and comfort, we can organise a transfer from the airport; and, if you do not have insurance, we offer you the possibility of organising an insurance policy through the school.

2) Spanish Summer Camps for Teenagers and Kids
An immersion program abroad is an unforgettable experience for anybody, but for teens and kids it is especially so. Even several years after the experience, they are still talking about it: they go from I dont understand a word to... I really dont want to go home yet! over a period of a few weeks.

* At ZadorSpain in VITORIA we offer a Basketball Summer Camp (13-17 years old), for Juniors already playing basketball in their own country (intermediate and advanced youth basketball players), which takes place for 2 weeks in July. This Basketball Camp is organized by ZadorSpain in partnership with TAU Ceramica Basketball School.
