Learn Spanish in Jaca
Located close to the border of France in the Pyrenees Mountains, the historical city of Jaca, in the province of Huesca, Spain, is an excellent place to learn Spanish. The Spanish courses in Jaca are designed to teach the learner more than just the language; rather they will focus on the culture of the city and the surrounding area.
The old city itself is surrounded by ancient walls that were historically a form of protection for the elaborate 11th century Romanesque cathedral. The Diocesan Museum, which is also known as the Museum of Medieval Arts, houses many ancient and very well-preserved Greek and Roman frescos and is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The Ciudadela or citadel is also a fascinating place to visit and is one of the National Monuments of the area. The military construction of the building was on a pentagon floor plan and guides are available to explain various aspects of the massive building. Throughout the area it is easy to see historical stone houses and churches that were built hundreds of years ago and are still used today. This makes an interesting contrast to the thoroughly modern aspects of the newer parts of the city itself.
Students, besides just completing Spanish courses in Jaca, can also spend time exploring the lush valleys that surround the city. Hiking, biking and fishing are all popular activities in the summer, and in the winter the surrounding Pyrenees Mountains
make ideal snow boarding and skiing locations. The Santiago Route, so named for the historic pilgrimage, makes
an ideal walking trip for either novice or experienced trekkers. In addition there are several smaller towns and historical locations in the
surrounding area that make easy day trips from the city of Jaca. Some of the most popular places to visit in the surrounding area are Asieco, Abay, Guasillo and Canias.
The Spanish courses in Jaca will also talk about the wonderful and simple food of the area. Most traditional dishes include meat, fresh produce and wonderful baked items. In addition there are several vineyards in the area that produce several varieties of wines. Wine tasting tours are very popular for visitors to the area.
