The Instituto Miguel de Cervantes
About Us…
The Instituto Miguel de Cervantes, founded in 1981, is Guanajuato’s first Spanish school. It provides intensive language study and a practical language-immersion experience for individuals and groups. At the Institute, you will benefit from small classes, individualized instruction, and our proven teaching methods.
In addition, you will learn about Mexican history, literature, and artand you can even try your hand at Mexican cooking and Latin dancing, if you are so inclined.
We also offer basic language programs for larger groups, as well as specialized programs for professionals (Spanish for Teachers, Spanish for Medical Personnel, Spanish for Social Workers, etc.).
Our Facilities
The Institute is located in the shadow of the historic Valenciana Mine (still operating), one of the greatest silver mines in all of colonial Latin America. Our physical facilities are unmatched in Guanajuato, offering spectacular views of the city, airy classrooms with natural light, tranquil flower gardens, meandering walkways with fountains and natural benches, and numerous nooks and crannies for contemplation or group discussion (in Spanish, of course).
Why Guanajuato?
The city of Guanajuato was founded in 1554. It became one the richest of Mexico’s colonial cities because of the vast silver deposits found in the surrounding mountains. Several silver mines are still operating and are open for tours.
The legacy of Guanajuato’s riches is reflected in the fine colonial architecture that graces many of the buildings in the city’s historic center. Today, Guanajuato is a medium-sized city of 95,000 inhabitants and is home to the University of Guanajuato, whose students bring a youthful exuberance to the city’s restaurants, cafes, and public spaces. The presence of the University also enriches the city’s cultural life, with weekly symphony concerts, regularly scheduled lectures and seminars open to the public, and callejoneadas every Thursday through Sunday.
These evening musical walks through the streets of Guanajuato are led by estudiantinas, student musicians and singers. The estudiantina tradition is rooted in Andaluca, Spain, and was transplanted to Guanajuato in 1972. It has become a unique attraction in this compact city of narrow streets and steep, twisting alleyways.
