If you come to Argentina to learn Spanish in Cordoba, just relax and be ready to enjoy the most diverse landscapes and a city fringed by mountains rages. Riverbeds, hills and green pastures are found only a few minutes from the capital. Even downtown is traversed by water!
You can learn Spanish and practice the language with locals in tranquil strolls along La Cañada, a water stream surrounded by stone walls that runs through the entire city, crossing different neighbourhoods, green lungs and urban areas. If you learn Spanish in Cordoba you will be taught that La Cañada was constructed during colonial times after the Spanish conquest and was entirely made of giant cobblestones. Come to Cordoba to learn Spanish and discover those places where La Cañada runs under some of the most important streets of the Cordoba, like Colon Avenue and Caseros Street. Most of its stretch is accompanied by a ciclo-vía, a little street dedicated to go cycling, walking or running next to the river. Learn Spanish and combine regular lessons with outdoor activities are the best way to discover the astonishing Argentina.
Horse riding is one of the most common activities in Cordoba, much advisable to practice if you learn Spanish. Horse riding is taught by the traditional gauchos and is the most recommended way to explore the countryside. Gauchos are very kind and will teach you how to gain confidence while you have the chance to learn Spanish and gain colloquial expressions by talking to them.

With an incredible lively beat and tropical movements, cuarteto has become the most representative rhythm in many provinces of Argentina. Cordoba is its home city where countless singers have become renowned artists. If you come to learn Spanish in Cordoba you will be exposed to a wide variety of shows and cuarteto festivals.

These instruments were the violin, the piano, the double bass and the accordion. As you learn Spanish you could also learn how to play any of these musical instruments. From the 60’s onwards, Cuarteto spreaded all over Argentina keeping its roots in Cordoba. At the beginning, this kind of music was heard and danced by lower classes only; but as the years went by Cuarteto grew in recognition, penetrating into the middle class likes.
