Traveling to learn a language is not something new, but it is true that, in recent years, more and more people have tried this formula: young people seeking an alternative outside their country, people who want to improve a language to aspire to a new jobs or simply, travellers who like to enjoy their holidays by getting to know better other cultures and traditions.
To schedule a trip like this is important to have the possibility to travel over a long season, between 1 month and 3 months for the course to really be worthwhile. However, the range of intensive courses that concentrate basic training of a language in a couple of weeks has grown considerably in our country. The problem with this option is that the hours you have to devote to study every day is too many to be able to combine it this with the full enjoyment of the destination.
In Spain, Barcelona and Madrid, along with smaller cities but historically linked to university life and study -as in the case of Salamanca, have become genuine receptive centres to travellers looking to enjoy a stay in another country while studying the language.
The profile of this language tourism is usually young and/or executive, eager people who can take the time and enjoy learning or simply seeking a more complete experience that the journey itself: the best souvenir is often what you learn and discover during your holiday.
The most demanded accommodation for this type of tourism are usually Youth Hostels and Apartments, with rooms and common spaces to share. However, more and more travellers with a certain cultural and economic level, who are committed to this type of experience, seek unique hotels in which to spend their days in Spain.
For them, there are all kinds of options. One of the most praised by the uniqueness of their spaces and the quality of their services are the selection of urban hotels by Petit Palace, among which the following stand out:
· Hotel Petit Palace Londres: comfortable and modern. The best: it is located in the Preciados street, the centre of Madrid, next to the best shopping streets in the capital. The main Spanish schools for foreigners are in this area.
· Hotel Petit Palace Puerta del Sol: Madrid's flagship hotel with an exceptional location.
