One of the most beautiful medieval cities in Spain, Segovia is situated at the foot of the Central System, in the community of Castilla y León, one-hour drive north of Madrid.
Segovia is a 49.000 inhabitant's town that offers a wide range of cultural, leisure and gastronomic activities. A city unique in its historic and artistic wealth. It was named by the United Nations among the "Cities Patrimony of Humanity", which together with the hospitality of its people, its cultural festivities, its regard for security, and its university population, make Segovia one of the most appropriate places for learning Spanish.
