"Valencia is a welcoming modern, vibrant and colorful city thanks to its privileged location on the banks of the Mediterranean sea, which also provides easy access to the nearby mountains, only 20 kilometers away.
Valencia attracts visitors anxious to get to know the city's interesting attractions, sport and entertainment facilities, beaches, food, great weather and friendly people.
Nowadays, after hosting the 32nd edition of the America's Cup Regatta, Valencia has become one of the principal tourist destinations of Europe, with millions of visitors every year. Next up, the fast machines of Formula One will speed through its streets in a unique circuit that will link the sea and its port area to the emblematic City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural and cultural symbol of Valencia round the world. With this, Valencia has become a cosmopolitan metropolis where one can enjoy a great deal of entertainment and culture. We welcome you to visit Valencia"

Our school

In coastal Valencia, don Quijote offers you a modern school in the heart of the city's university district, freshly renovated with equal focus on technology, comfort and quality, equally convenient to both the city's cosmopolitan center and its sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches.

Don Quijote Valencia is located on the campus of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Set amongst hundred of acres of new academic buildings, palm trees, and long, rolling lawns, the school is close to a variety of modern sports facilities and sits alongside the Galileo Galilei student residence, Valencia's most modern and best equipped colegio mayor and a home-away-from-home for those don Quijote students who choose student residence accommodation. Life in the residence is a wonderful daily opportunity to practice Spanish by living side by side with Spanish university students. For quiet relaxation and a stretch of the legs, a lush public garden lies just across the street from the school's entrance.

Don Quijote Valencia is the ideal base from which to explore Valencia, with a street car stop just across from the school, along with a stop for several central bus lines. From the green oasis of the university district, you can comfortably travel to the Plaza Mayor in 15 minutes and the beach in just 5.

The school boasts 14 spacious classrooms. The academic zone surrounds a central common area of 100 square meters, equipped with a coffee machine, snack vending machines, computers and comfortable furniture for relaxing between classes.  The facilities include the most modern technology, presented in a cheerful and contemporary atmosphere.

Don Quijote Valencia is a modern academic center in which no detail has been spared in quality or comfort. The result is a warm, comfortable home for your Spanish studies, a center that offers you a unique opportunity to live and study on a Spanish university campus while effortlessly exploring the rest of the vibrant city of Valencia.
