Hi All,
I am thinking about taking a few weeks to do some type of immersion Spanish language study AFTER the Camino. Of course I realize it would makes more sense to do this before I walk the Camino so that I could converse a little better, but because I will be walking in June and early July, I don't want to walk later in the summer. I was thinking of finding a school right in Santiago and just staying there for a few weeks. I welcome suggestions of good schools in Santiago, or other cities in Spain. It might be nice to find one with a home stay possibility or a sense of community. I am over 50, female and traveling alone.
Any suggestions? Or do most people find that after the Camino they just wan to get home? I am a teacher, so summer is my time.
Here is one alternative, they have a course that is Camino related ...Hi All,

Santiago is a nice place, but it is small.... why not write to them and ask what types of excursions/program/activities they might offer...Is Santiago a nice place to spent a few weeks?
I could just play it by ear, and let the end of my Camino guide me.
I took courses with Don Quijote in Granada and Salamanca. I took other courses with Enforex at Alicante.
Of the three cities I would recommend Granada ... after 3 months I could still head off walking in a new direction and find interesting things to see. You could spend a week just visiting the Alhambra.
Whari, how did you like those Don Quixote courses?
I've looked into their courses, but never spoke with anyone who has actually done them.
I would love, love, love to study Spanish in Santiago after finishing the Camino! Unfortunately, the timing won't work. I guess I'll have to stick to my Skype lessons for now.If you decide to study in Santiago, please post about your experience on the board - I would love to read all about it.

Thank you VERY much for that link: Just what I needed. Alicante is a very nice, not too big city by the Med. sea. I am seriously considering 2 months study. Very favorable course prices/housing. And: There are direct, cheap flights from Norway... When I was there in March I paid 70 Euro for a oneway trip...I can highly recommend to study Spanish in Alicante.
