Known as the "Oxford of the Spanish world",
Salamanca draws students from around the world. Rising from
the banks of the Tormes River, Salamanca is Spain's most graceful
city. Its golden medieval buildings, Renaissance palaces and
soaring cathedrals are tucked away in the northwest corner of old
Castile, far from tourist crowds, but only three hours from Madrid.

Campus:
 Classes
will be held at the Colegio Hispanico de Unamuno,
in the heart of the old city. The Colegio is an international

This is an Academic Study Program and students must carry
