Accommodation when learning Spanish in don Quijote Havana
In Cuba we recommend you stay with a host family. The selected host families live in spacious homes in a nice residential part of town known as Reparto Vedado. Though it’s mainly a quiet area, there are several nice bars and clubs close by. Vedado is approx. 40-45 minutes walking distance or approx. 15 minutes by bicycle or taxi from the old town of Havana. The families offer single rooms with half board (breakfast and dinner). All rooms have air-conditioning or a fan and some have a private bathroom.
Activities and Excursions
A trip to Cuba is not complete without a visit to one of the rum museums or tobacco factories. For lovers of sports, horse-riding and scuba diving are available. Take full advantage of your time when you take one of our Spanish courses in Cuba and explore the country’s breathtaking landscape and historic cities by participating in excursions along with your fellow students.
Our Opinion
Havana is a place where the infectious rhythms of son and salsa linger in the air, where friendly faces invite you in and make sure that you’re not the only one with idle hips, where poets find their inspiration and poetry is ensconced in everything you see. Learn Spanish in Havana and experience this one of a kind city for yourself.
