It is also a founding member of IALC (International Association of Language Centers), a member of various chambers of commerce, and it has received the CEELE seal of approval through the University of Alcala. It is also an Associated Instituto Cervantes center, attesting to the high quality of their Spanish language courses. All Sampere Spanish schools offer individual attention in small classes, quality teaching in a friendly environment, qualified Spanish teachers, up-to-date materials, an international atmosphere, flexible starting dates, social and cultural activities and a choice of excellent value accommodations. Estudio Sampere is committed to quality - a key factor in their long-lasting success. Their books and teaching material have all been developed in-house, taking into consideration the latest teaching methods as well as the experience of almost 50 years of teaching Spanish as a foreign language. All five schools meet the quality criteria that international organizations expect and demand. Estudio Sampere Salamanca is located in a pedestrian area in the center of town just 3 minutes away from Plaza Mayor (Main Square). The Spanish Language School premises, occupying the first floor of the building, are air-conditioned and adapted to language learning in small groups. The school has twelve classrooms and a library/video room. It is a small school offering an intimate and supportive family-like atmosphere. SALAMANCA Salamanca is called "La Dorada," the Golden City, because its buildings are made of a golden sandstone. Approaching Salamanca from Madrid, you will at once feel and see its rich historical legacy, and you will find it a most enchanting city. Alfonso IX of Castille and Leon is responsible for the city's worldwide fame: he founded the first university in Spain in Salamanca. Salamanca possesses the advantages of a big city and yet is small enough to offer the intimacy of a village and everything is within walking distance: beautiful churches, narrow streets with years of history and much more. Its main square, Plaza Mayor, is the perfect meeting point with its bars, shops and restaurants. Spaniards and foreigners gather there to go to pubs or just to enjoy the sights from one of its many cafes. Segovia, Burgos, Santiago de Compostela, Leon and Madrid are all within easy reach. The climate is continental with chilly winters and sunny summers.
