"Welcome to study Spanish in Sevilla! Sevilla is passion. This is where flamenco, bullfights, Don Juan, Carmen, Holy Week and the April Fair can be seen and felt in the baking heat of the South. Sevilla is the past. The largest old quarter in Europe. Virtually all the peoples of the Mediterranean have left their mark here –at Italica, or with the Giralda, the Torre del Oro, the Aclázar, the Cathedral…. And that was just the lead-up to Spain’s Siglo de Oro –the Golden Century, when Sevilla was the hub of the Spanish Empire, famous the world over for splendour with which no other city could compare. Sevilla is also the future, a modern city, open to all progress, especially since 1992, when it hosted the last Expo of the 20th century. But without a doubt, Seville’s finest asset is its people, as warm and lively as anywhere else in Spain, always ready to help visitors, delighted to share their cheerfulness and local traditions. If you want to really get soaked in everything Spanish, not only those of us who work at don Quijote Sevilla but also the whole city will welcome you with open arms."

The school is located in a magnificent historic building in the centre. The building dates from 1919 and was designed by one of the most famous architects in Spain, Aníbal González, also creator of the “Plaza de España”. This building is one of the most important monuments of Sevilla. You will savour a concentrated taste of Spain upon entering the school.
