Spanish language holidays

Anyone ever done a weeks intensive spanish language holiday?
I would like to do one but have not found much on the internet which does one week courses.

    My sister went on one last year which was combined with walking holiday. If you are interested I will get the details
    I haven't got one!

    im not sure how much spanish you know, i would recommend adult education courses over here...and then try an intensive course when you know a fair amount

    even doing 30 x 2hours lessons for beginners at adult ed classes is only just scratching the surface, i would have thought an intensive course would better value when you get to a certain level

    i was looking at courses in santander and thought the prices were quite reasonable, i would be interested also on feedback/advice from someone who has done one

    I have looked at the 2 websites posted and they look quite good, also found one with walking and learning spanish myself when searching, not sure if I would enjoy the walking though! would depend how energetic it was! I have done a years adult ed and thought I did quite well, but it finished last summer and although I have been to spain a couple of times since, have lost my confidence a bit and felt a weeks intensive may help! thanks for all the input
  • I did an EF language course a couple of years ago - went to ecuador so picked a company I'd heard of just to be safe. they do courses in spain as well, have a good reputation but are not the cheapest option (usually). Had a really mixed age range - a lot of pre university gap year students, but also people up to 65!

  • There's 2 people on my Spanish course booked on these hols this year. I'll ask for details when I see them.
