Description of PIEE

The International Programnme for Spanish Studies.- Your bridge to the Spanish language

The International Programme of Spanish Studies .-PIEE, established in Ronda by the Public Foundation for University Studies of Ronda, offers a truly valuable educational opportunity to all those interested in the language, culture and traditions of Spain.

The city of Ronda, situated in the heart of the incomparable countryside of southern Spain and midway between the attractions of Seville and the Costa del Sol, draws students from around the world. Some of the benefits enjoyed by the students attending the programme include:

*-All level of Spanish language classes

*-Small classes, maximum 11 students

*-Flexible options of accommodation

*-Organized monthly excursions and activities

Ronda is a comfortable medium-size community that provides a safe and welcoming atmosphere for study and language practice.

Living with Spanish families is one of the best housing options you can choose if you really want to learn Spanish.

With a family, you will be able to continue practising the language after class and they will make you feel as if you were one of the family.

The Programa Internacional de Estudios de Español has been working for several years with a group of families accustomed to receiving international students into their homes.

Usually, if you live with a family, you will have a private room with a study table and a wardrobe.

The option of living in an apartment allows you to have more independence.

The apartments are situated in the center of the city, a maximum of 15 minutes walking from the language centre. They are fully furnished with a washing machine, television and bed linens. We do recommend, though, that you bring your own towels for personal use. There is no phone or internet connection at the apartments.

This is an ideal option for living with students from other nationalities and getting to know other cultures, although you do have the option to live alone.
