Free Spanish literary text online

Spanish Reading aficionados and lovers of anything Spanish: listen up!

You’ve probably heard at one point of your life about the literary novel ‘Don Quijote de La Mancha’ by Miguel de Cervantes. Or perhaps heard that it is the first novel ever published in the history of the world? Or that it is the 2nd most published book in the world etc. The important thing is, you’ve heard about it many times, yet you’ve never gotten around to reading it.

Well, guess what? don Quijote.org (the school) is proud to have available online a collection of works to read, print, or download in PDF format. These works include Cervantes’ satirical novel as well as some of the widely known Spanish literary novels, poetry, plays and mini-biographies. All for free!

We also have available an informative mini-guide of the History of Spanish literature (in Spanish), made especially for our Spanish students. Anyone interested in the background history of the Spanish literary world can get an inside glance at each era and how time has influenced the literary writing styles of each author. This seems to come in quite handy for a Spanish student who knows too well this is what makes up the bulk of their university studies.

Challenge yourself and learn more about the evolution of Spanish language!

And if you’re still interested in knowing more about the famous Don Quijote, then visit our Don Quijote Virtual Museum where you will find everything there is to know about this fictional character and how he’s influenced the world.

21 años enseñando español

Paqui — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 13:02:00 GMT

Esta semana estamos de aniversario, don Quijote acaba de cumplir 21 años. Son más de 20 años enseñando español, proporcionando una experiencia única de immersión línguistica y cultural a miles de clientes y promocionando la lengua española en todo el mundo.

Durante estos años hemos aprendido mucho de nuestros estudiantes, hemos mejorado nuestros métodos y nuestros servicios, hemos crecido, abriendo escuelas en nuevos destinos y apliando nuestra oferta de cursos, con nuevas opciones. Para nuestro público más exigente el programa Executive Premium, para los más jóvenes los campamentos de verano, además de nuevas oportunidades para estudiar y trabajar en España.

Queremos dar las gracias a todos los estudiantes que han pasado por nuestras aulas, a nuestros profesores y a nuestros colaboradores, gracias a los cuales don Quijote ha sido durante más de 20 años un punto de referencia para la enseñanza del español.

Salamanca está de moda

Salamanca es famosa por ser una importante ciudad de cultura y por ser una de las provincias españolas donde se habla el español más puro, pero proximamente la ciudad de Salamanca se hará famosa en las salas de cine, porque una película de producción americana estará ambientada en Salamanca.

La Película Vantage point narra los eventos que ocurren durante una visita del presidente de Estados Unidos a Salamanca. Aqui puedes ver un trailer de la película.
