Highlights

The school in Cusco is located in a colonial building only one block from the main square, the Plaza de las Armas. It has 25 classrooms of different sizes, the smaller ones being used for individual classes, and is equipped with multimedia classrooms, a very spacious meeting room and a sunny terrace. Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, is one of the most fascinating cities of Latin America. Just two blocks from the city's center, travelers and students meet each other in the traditional bars where you can feel the welcoming warmth of the locals.

In Cusco, you will step back in time, with its inhabitants wrapped in multicolored blankets passing by with their llamas. You absolutely cannot miss this unique opportunity. Another item of interest is the Volunteer Program, which provides the unique opportunity to live and work in Peru. You will experience first-hand the country's rich cultural diversity and its multi-faceted heritage. Excursions and cultural activities are also offered at the school.

The school in Malaga is only 300 metres from the beach. The school is situated in the centre of the Pedregalejo business district, 20 minutes by bus from the tourist centre. In this business district, it is not uncommon to meet Spanish tourists who are on holiday in their own country. They avoid the city centre because of the invasion of foreign tourists. The school building has 20 classrooms, a courtyard, a covered terrace with a bar and facilities such as video and TV. The school is open all year, except for the last two weeks of December. The minimum age is 18 years and you have, just as with Don Quijote, a maximum of seven other students in a group. Malaga is a city that sparkles because of its temperament. This shows above all in the best known folklore of Malaga: the song and dance of the Flamenco. Before and during Easter there are numerous processions. That's when Malaga shows itself in all its pomp and circumstance, a joy to behold. The city has many historic attractions, such as the old centre of Malaga with its countless Moorish remains. Also worth visiting is the Alcazaba, a Muslim Fort, and the castle on Mount Gibralfaro.

The school in Alicante is situated in the best possible area of the city: in the city centre and only one minute's walk from the beach! It's located in "La Rambla", the central avenue of Alicante, in a lively neighborhood boasting excellent beaches and a friendly and traditional local atmosphere. The school has 8 bright classrooms, a multimedia laboratory and a common area. Alicante's exceptional location between the mountains and the sea provides the city with a special enchanting beauty. The city, wherever one cares to roam, is spiced with the flavor of the sea, and continues to play its heart-felt role as a seaport, as it has always done. If you have ever dreamed of visiting an authentic Spanish city, Alicante is the dream come true.

Don Quijote's Mission Statement

don Quijote was established in 1986 as a language travel agency representing Spanish language schools. The company's single-minded dedication to service and quality fueled its rapid growth and we quickly earned a reputation for innovation, personalized service and excellence. In 1989, responding to the growing demand for high quality Spanish language courses, we began welcoming students to the first don Quijote school, in Salamanca. In the 22 years since our founding, we have grown to 7 company-owned locations in Spain and Latin America and a network of more than 28 partner schools, largely through the recommendation of more than 150,000 satisfied students. At don Quijote, our watchwords are Quality, Innovation and Partnership. While we continue to lead - in academics, in value and in innovation - we continually seek out new ways to take the quality of our courses and our service to our students to the next level... and the next... and...
