If given the choice to study Spanish in one of Colombia’s large cities, Cartagena should be among the top on your list. Unlike Medellín and Bogotá, places a plethora of Spanish language programs, Cartagena has two advantages: the ocean and the Caribbean culture. Nowhere else in Colombia will you be able to study Spanish in a tropical paradise — and simultaneously participate in water sports. Well aware of Cartagena’s multitudinous draws, several Spanish language schools in the city combine work with play, offering afternoon cultural activities like dance and sports such as sailing in conjunction with morning Spanish lessons. Studying Spanish in Cartagena is not so much a chore. Instead, it is the perfect blend of class and recess that you wish you had as a kid.
