VLL: Language Lab Intensive: Valencia - June 2027

from $500.00

June 20 – June 26, 2027 | 7 Days / 6 Nights
Presented by VIVA LA LENGUA

Stop studying Spanish. Start living in it.

You've done the apps, the classes, the flashcards. You understand more than you can say. The Language Lab is the week that closes that gap. Ten students MAX, one city, and one rule: from Monday morning, we speak Spanish.

Mornings, you'll learn in a small, closed class with a certified teacher at our partner school in Valencia. Afternoons, the city becomes your classroom: real missions you complete in Spanish, from the stalls of the Mercado Central to a paella fire in the Albufera rice fields. Nights, you'll come home to a Valencian host family and a table where English isn't on the menu.

In June, Valencia welcomes summer with the Noche de San Juan. On Wednesday night, we join the city on the beach for bonfires, and at midnight we jump three waves and burn a paper with what we're leaving behind, written in Spanish.

Our teachers handle the grammar. We handle everything grammar can't.

Your week:

Day 1 · Sun, June 20 · Llegada. Meet your host family, walk the old town, and sign the pacto de lengua at our Cena de Lenguas welcome dinner.

Day 2 · Mon, June 21 · El mercado. Class, the mascletà, then the Mercado Central, where you shop for the group in Spanish.

Day 3 · Tue, June 22 · Cabanyal & valencià. Class, horchata in Alboraya, a Valencian mini-lesson, and a tapas crawl where you do all the ordering.

Day 4 · Wed, June 23 · Noche de San Juan. Class, a free afternoon, then the bonfires on Malvarrosa beach.

Day 5 · Thu, June 24 · La Albufera. Class, a paella class in Spanish, and a sunset boat on the lagoon.

Day 6 · Fri, June 25 · Presentación final. Your final talk, your certificate, a 1:1 session with your teacher, and our farewell dinner.

Day 7 · Sat, June 26 · Hasta pronto. Closing circle and airport transfers.

Here are the details:

  • 6 nights in a private room with a Valencian host family, with breakfast and dinner (boutique hotel option available)

  • 20 hours of small-group classes at a Cervantes-accredited school, grouped by level

  • A private 1:1 session with your teacher and a written progress report

  • Local Spanish-speaking guides and a VIVA LA LENGUA host all week

  • Group airport transfers and a local transit card

  • Certificate of attendance and the VIVA LA LENGUA Lab kit

Who it's for: adults (18+) with at least a beginner-intermediate level (A2). If you can order a meal and make small talk, you're ready. A placement test confirms your level.
