Learn Spanish in Montevideo

Taking Spanish courses in Montevideo allows students and visitors alike to experience the charm of this seaside city in one of the smallest countries in South America. The city of Montevideo is home to about 1.7 million of the country's total population of 3 million, and is the cultural and tourism center of the country. There are an amazing number of five star hotels, resorts, restaurants and lodgings that make this an ideal spot to learn, study and visit.

The city of Montevideo has many different historical areas and landmarks. The Museo Torres Garcia features works from the artists Joaquin Torres Garcia as well as many other national and local artists. The Palacio Salvo, located in the Plaza de Independencia, a 100-meter tall neo-gothic style building, was once the tallest building in South America. In addition the Palacio Legislativo or legislative building, and the Mercado del Puerto, or open market, make great day trips.

The Old City, or Ciudad Vieja, is a wonderful place to wander through, seeing the many 18th century buildings that are still in use today. After a day of sight seeing it is then off to Avenida 18 de Julio where there are theatres, restaurants, museums and art galleries. The people within the shops will be more than willing to help with the local language and the information that students have learned at the many Spanish courses in Montevideo. For an authentic look at gaucho or traditional South American cowboy life the Museo del Gaucho y de la Moneda in the Edificio Banco de la Republica makes an easy day trip and a fascinating opportunity to see the history of the area.

In addition to the cultural and historical aspects of the city of Montevideo, there is also an astounding number of activities to do outdoors. The Spanish courses in Montevideo will keep students aware of what sports are being played in the area, where soccer, baseball and rugby are popular. In addition there are opportunities for most water sports including sailing, sport fishing, boating and just relaxing on the smooth, sandy beaches. There are actually nine different beaches in the Montevideo area ranging from Playa Ramirez to Playa Carrasco, which covers the east to west coastline and frames the city. Visitors find time to stroll along the beaches, stop to sunbathe or swim, or just watch the people go by.
