Learning Spanish abroad

From Wikitravel

Involves language tourism (the practice of travelling to a foreign country to vacation there while learning its language) in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries.

The phenomenon of language tourism is perhaps most popular in Spain. As the importance of Spanish increases worldwide as the second choice – after English – for a foreign language, the demand for Spanish courses has been strongest in its country of origin, also a popular traditional tourist destination.

Approximately 150,000 people travel to Spain each year to study Spanish, contributing an estimated €600 million to the country's already massive tourist industry.

Spanish courses are also widely available in Mexico and Central America or South America.
