Spanish course prices in 2027, city by city

For each city: how many schools already have 2027 prices with us, what their standard intensive course costs for 4 weeks, and what 4 weeks in a single room with a host family (half board) cost at those schools.

School list prices for a course starting in March 2027. “—”: no single room with half board in the 2027 price lists we have (the school may offer other options). Enforex charges the same price for its intensive course in all the Spanish cities in this table, and Don Quijote does the same in Madrid, Valencia and Tenerife, so with these schools the city does not change the course price.

All the intensive courses compared (4 weeks)

The standard group course of each school, sorted by what you pay on LanguageBookings. Schools count lessons differently (45, 50, 55, 60 or 110 minutes), so the table shows real hours of class per week: that is the fair comparison (Hispania names its courses in teaching hours of 55 minutes).

“School's price” is the official 2027 list price for a course starting in March 2027; “your price” is what the course costs on LanguageBookings with our discount. Registration and compulsory material are paid as the school charges them.

Canary Islands

Gran Canaria School of Languages has the cheapest 4-week course on this page: €570 for 4 weeks of its Standard Course (20 lessons of 50 minutes a week); a single week costs €210, so it pays to stay longer.

How to pay less

• Choose the school, not only the city: the cheapest intensive courses are €570 (Gran Canaria), €600 (Barcelona) and €685 (Granada) for 4 weeks.
• Stay longer: at Formex in Malaga one week costs €199, but at 24 weeks it comes to €168.75 a week.
• Share: a shared room in a student flat costs far less than a host family. At Hispania in Valencia, 4 weeks cost €420 in a shared room in a flat, against €1,000 in a single room with a family and half board.
• Book with LanguageBookings: you get our discount on the course, you pay nothing upfront (only the deposit is authorised on your card and charged when the school confirms; you pay the rest to the school) and if you find the same course cheaper under the same conditions, we match the price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Spanish course in Spain cost in 2027?

Four weeks of intensive Spanish cost €570–€1,060 at the official 2027 prices of the 28 schools on this page. With registration and a single room with a host family (half board), four weeks come to €1,676.80–€2,517.30, without flights.

Where is it cheapest to learn Spanish in Spain?

It depends more on the school than on the city. Among the big cities, the cheapest intensive course is in Barcelona (€600 for 4 weeks); the cheapest overall are in Gran Canaria (€570) and Granada (€685). Several chains charge the same price in every city.

Do I need a visa to study Spanish in Spain?

EU citizens do not. For other nationalities it depends on your passport and on the length of the course: short stays usually follow the Schengen rules, and long courses need a student visa. Check the website of the Spanish consulate in your country before booking; the school can send you the enrolment letter the consulate asks for.

Is it cheaper to learn Spanish in Latin America?

It depends on the school and the city; we compare the official 2027 prices of the Latin American schools, in US dollars and euros, in Learn Spanish in Latin America 2027: real prices in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.

Do I have to pay the whole course when I book?

No. When you book, only the deposit, which is part of the course price, is authorised on your card. If the school accepts the booking, the deposit is charged and we send you the details to pay the rest directly to the school; if not, nothing is charged.

Are these prices final?

They are the schools' official 2027 prices as they were in our system on 17 October 2026. The school confirms the price when it accepts the booking; there may be summer supplements and optional extras (books, exams, transfers).
