Have you ever wondered how Christmas and New Year’s are celebrated in Spain or Mexico? Here’s your chance to find out when you celebrate the holidays with as much warmth as you do back home - and you learn Spanish!

Your classmates will be students of other nationalities who want to learn Spanish and are also looking to experience Christmas and New Years in a different culture. Together, you can look forward to enjoying the Three Wise Men parades on the streets of every Spanish city or taking part in the house-to-house pilgrimage of Las Posadas in Mexico.

Enhance your Spanish language experience when you participate in our daily Spanish cultural activities or when you sign up for our optional guided excursions to nearby places of interest. Make friends of other cultures and learn Spanish as you live and practice the language with the locals during this special time of year.

This year, we’ve added the Christmas course to the curriculum of all of don Quijote Spanish schools. You have 7 destinations to choose from: Barcelona, Granada, Madrid, Salamanca, Tenerife or Valencia in Spain; or Guanajuato in Mexico. Choose 1 or 2 week courses and enjoy a Spanish or Mexican Christmas!
