Cela Spanish School:
Learn Spanish in the Caribbean in small groups all year round. Cela Spanish School is located in Playa el Angel, Pampatar on the island of Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, only 30 minutes away from Venezuela’s mainland at the northern tip of South America. We offer Spanish courses for 5 levels, and also Spanish courses for special purposes such as health, law, and business. The Spanish courses are offered in small groups, with a maximum of 7 participants. It is also possible to book one on one lessons.
Our Spanish courses also include 3 excursions per week (mostly wonderful beaches) and accommodation in a host family on Isla Margarita (optional). We highly recommend the accommodation in Venezuelan host families, because it will reinforce our work in the classroom through practise of the Spanish language in a natural social environment. From Margarita Island you can easily book excursions to Mérida, Angel Falls, Los Roques, Gran Sabana, and other popular places in Venezuela. The island is the perfect place to practice windsurfing and kitesurfing.
