The top 9 reasons to drop everything and visit Guatemala right now {Gadling}

Nov 4th 2009 12:42PM I can highly recommend Don Pedro de Alvarado Spanish School as by far the best place to study Spanish in Antigua Guatemala. The school is rated with 5 stars on www.123teachme.com. It is one of the oldest and most established schools in Antigua; it boasts very experienced, sympathetic teachers and is centrally located next to the landmark church of La Merced. The highly regarded administration at Don Pedro Spanish School can arrange accommodation for you with a local family while you study, and services also include provision of a shuttle to and from the airport at a very reasonable price. The school provides activities for their students every day; these include hiking and climbing the local volcanoes, visits to coffee planatations, trips to local markets, salsa dancing lessons, cookery lessons, and a weekly fiesta which includes a delicious lunch for all students that is excellently cooked by the Director, Caty, and her staff. If you wish to learn more about Don Pedro Spanish School, their website is www.donpedrospanishschool.com. They also have a really good Facebook page that has many student recommendations and photos of the school. There is a video to see about the school on YouTube as well. Check it out!
