 Guanajuato
is the ideal spot in Mexico to study and learn Spanish, being a small and
quiet university city (comparable to Granada and Salamanca in
Spain) and far from the tourist cities (such as Cancún
or Cuernavaca). Declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO,
you will be charmed by its wealth in architecture and culture.
The international airport, less than half an hour away, provides
the city with excellent connections with all the other cities
in Mexico and with the rest of the world.
