Tuesday, 22nd June 2010
We've asked our very own language holiday advisors which locations they would recommend, and here we have it, word of mouth...
If you want a little more from your holiday this summer, a language course is the perfect option. Not only can it be booked last minute, but you can still get all the sand, sea, culture or history that you’d expect from a regular holiday.
Whatever your cup of tea - or glass of sangria - we’ve asked our language holiday advisors for their recommendations as to the best places to go this summer in Spain and Latin America. And who better to ask - they are the ones who have visited and even taken courses in our many destinations.
It’s not too late to book – just take your pick, and get it in the diary!

First time I read and I liked the term "leafy parks" for Santiago de Chile. Certainly, you will find more in this beautiful and ordered city, vibrant economy comes with many advancements for locals as well as for strangers, you will always have something else to do.
