Highlights:
Lying on a large bay, at the foot of the awe-inspiring 'Sierra Maestra Mountains,' Santiago de Cuba is the second largest city in Cuba. On one of the promontories, at the entrance to the bay is a spectacular colonial Spanish castle, perfectly preserved, with incredible views over the bay. In Santiago, students are placed in host families, in a quiet residential area, within easy walking distance of the historic city centre.
Lessons are held in host families, in teachers' homes or in a nearby cultural centre. Students are placed in 'mini-groups' of a maximum of 3 and always with a fully-qualified and experienced Cuban teacher.
