Why study in Almansa? Almansa is one of the few enclaves of pure Spanish, since there are no other official languages in the region and the local accent is very mild. You’re also going to come across very few foreign tourists, so you’ll have little temptation to talk in anything but Spanish during your stay. Almansa is in the La Mancha area on the Castilian plain, where both the Spanish language and Don Quixote were born. So what better place to come to learn how it’s spoken? The town is a very pleasant, safe place to live, with all the services and facilities you could need (pubs, sports facilities, restaurants, bares, swimming-pools, hospital, etc.), even though it’s quite a small town (only 30,000 inhabitants). Almansa’s history is a long one, with remains having been found that date back to before the arrival of the Romans. The name is Arabic in origin, dating back to the time when the area was occupied by the Moors. It means “place in the middle”, in reference to its geographical location between Valencia and Albacete. Thanks to its position roughly halfway between the coast and the interior of the Castilian plain, the town became increasingly importance over the centuries. En 1707, during the War of the Spanish Succession, the Battle of Almansa was decisive in enabling King Philip V to take the throne . Almansa photo gallery Almansa lies on the border between the area of influence of the Mediterranean and the central Spanish plain, so Mediterranean woodland is found mixed with wide-open Castilian ranges. The local climate is continental, with the coldest months and December and January and the warmest in July and August. During the rest of the year temperatures are very pleasant, ranging between 15º C and 30º C — ideal for sport and open-leisure activities.
