Location: Colegio de Español La Janda is located in the Spanish hilltop town of Vejer de la Frontera, in the province of Cadiz. Hailed as one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, Vejer de la Frontera sits on top of a low hill, overlooking the Straights of Gibraltar, surrounded by orange groves and orchards. The school is housed in a typical Andalusian house, converted into a school and has supermarkets, shops and further amenities close by, ensuring students have all they need to feel comfortable during their studies and time with the school.

Course selection: The course selection of the school is extensive, with many programmes split between Spanish classes and local leisure activities such as Flamenco, Yoga, Golf, Surf, Horse Riding or Walking. General Spanish courses are available to students of all levels throughout the whole year, with special seasonal programmes available during Easter, the Feria de Abril and Christmas. Fully Immersive Junior Summer programmes are also available, full-board accommodation and activity plans included in the price.

Social and Cultural: Colegio de Español La Janda adheres to the benefit of taking Spanish immersion programmes, combining classes with authentic social and cultural activities. The school offers a wide range of activities via an expansive cultural programme, including Spanish cooking, exploring the natural surrounding by bicycle, bodega tours, live flamenco and more! Full day trips to Tarifa, Bolonia and Cadiz are favourites amongst students, where authentic tapas and beautiful beaches are never far away!

Other comments I wanted to share the apartment with a flat mate though, I stayed in a single room and I felt lonely after school. I wanted someone whom I can have a conversation (even though it is broken Spanish). Actually I noticed this after arriving there. I recommend you to inform of your requests (even a small concerns) in advance.

Other comments I liked the school as well as the professors, however as a beginner I thought it would have been my advantage to have done some Spanish before doing the course because I felt I needed to repeat the beginners class after my first two weeks and perhaps didn't get as far as I would have liked to.
