"Where the fields, the horizon and culture merge with peace and quiet..." Urueña.
In Urueña there are more bookshops than bars, which is why it is the first Book Village in Spain. And that’s not the only thing this town hides… with less than two hundred inhabitants has a newspaper, five museums, eight bookshops and sits old quarter is one of the best preserved in the province, and clasified as Historic-Artistic Site. Shall we find out together?

The travellers say:
I had an absolutely incredible experience taking part in this immersion experience. My confidence and listening comprehension skills improved to the point that I now have very little trouble conversing with Spanish speakers, which is definitely not something I could say before. It was also so nice to get to know the others on the trip and the people in Uruena–such a lovely town, especially for book lovers like myself. The tours and activities were always entertaining, the accommodation was great, the food was excellent and there was always wine at the ready! I hope to come back for another immersion trip with Nuria in future years.
Este viaje lingüístico ha sido un buen descubrimiento en el corazón de la España rural. Por ejemplo, conocimos a un grupo de mujeres jubiladas que se encuentran una vez a la semana con una profesora, visitamos el museo de la música, luego damos un paseo por el pueblo con una guiada del oficio del turismo, visitamos librerías, hicimos una cata de vino, fuimos invitada en la casa de una habitante para comer un plato típico de la región de Castilla y León, etc. Lo mejor de todo fue la interacción con las personas nativas que viven allí, hablar con ellas todos los días, me ha permitido ampliar mi vocabulario y favorecer mi expresión oral. Agradezco mucho Nuria por la increíble organización del viaje, sin prisa, incluyendo un tiempo libre cada día para que podamos disfrutar tranquilamente de nuestra estancia.
This trip is for you if you want it:
- Gain confidence and feel more comfortable speaking Spanish in different situations that will help you in your future travels.
- Identify new vocabulary that will help you understand native speakers better and communicate more naturally.
- Get to meet new charming places off the beaten tourist track and discover their history, culture and traditions.
- Socialize and interact with other travelers to gain confidence and feel accompanied by the group.
- Practise the language you have learnt during the year, in a relaxed and fun way, without giving up your holidays.
- Specific feedback on your Spanish and resolution of any doubts you may have during our week together.
Improve your Spanish conversation through interaction
This trip is ideal for adults who want to improve their understanding and conversation in Spanish. Enjoy with me, Nuria, your adventurous teacher and a small group of travellers, a linguistic and cultural experience without the stress of the more touristy destinations.
Follow your own pace and practice in a relaxed way through our conversations and the activities we will share with other villagers.
Feel how every day you understand new words and expressions and can express yourself more and more confidently, almost without realising it.
This is not a large, organised trip and there are not daily grammar lessons.
It is a real immersion in the language and in the village we are going to visit, where you also have your own free time.
We travel in a small group of maximum 7 people because I want to dedicate quality time to you and to respect the learning time of each of you.
Everything is in Spanish: the guided tours, the walks in the surrounding area, the tapas in the bar, the activities in the museums and bookshops of the village, etc…
Don’t worry, I understand. I have also lived in other countries and had fears and insecurities. That’s whyevery day I’ll help you make immersion easy through: dynamics to follow the vocabulary of the day’s activities, games to practice in a fun way, spontaneous conversations during our moments of relaxation at home and helping you to participate in cultural visits.
All using a natural, spontaneous and fun approach!
Urueña, the only “Villa del Libro” in Spain. It is fifty-five kilometres northeast of Valladolid and forms part of the list of “The most beautiful villages in Spain”. A magical place rich in culture, heritage, gastronomy, wines and bookshops!
A typical immersion day in Urueña
In the morning, after a full breakfast in the comfortable lounge of our house or in the garden, I will share with you the programme of the day and we will go for a walk to visit the village and its surroundings.
We will stop to visit the hermitage, observe the landscape and local architecture, explore and chat with the locals we meet along the way.
We will enjoy different lunches depending on the day: tapas in the village bars, a meal in our garden or a picnic in the open air.
After a siesta or some time to relax, we will get ready for some of the experiences planned during the week: activities in the original museums and bookshops of the village, wine tasting, writing workshop, music and several surprises.
In the evenings, our dinners at home with local products or tapas will turn into an inspiring and fun exchange of languages, anecdotes, flavours and experiences.

Our accommodation in Urueña
We stayed in a typical rural house with Castilian decoration, located in the historic centre of the village.
All rooms are fully equipped with private bathroom and television, so that you are completely independent.
The ground floor of the house has a spacious living room with bar, dining room and sitting area with fireplace and games.
We will enjoy a fully equipped kitchen where we will be able to prepare and taste typical products of the area in our meals. From the kitchen you can access the garden, where there is a porch with barbecue and a well.
I myself will be your travelling companion with whom you can share thoughts, chat and drink a glass of wine.
To improve your comprehension and fluency, you need to practice Spanish and experience it first hand.
Your linguistic and cultural guide
¡Hola! I am Nuria, I was born in Madrid but I only lived there for my first 23 years. I had a lot of world to see 🙂
I teach Spanish online and have several years of experience in multicultural environments and language immersion projects.
I love my country and I am looking forward to showing it to you and sharing with you a meeting of cultures.
Together we will take a break and practice Spanish away from the stress of everyday life, while getting to know new and beautiful places.
I am also a language student and, like you, I have experienced the process of integrating in other countries.
I lived in Italy and the UK at different times in my life. Both were amazing and unforgettable experiences but, at first, I didn’t feel ready to communicate in real life or to meet local people, and this made me feel insecure and sometimes frustrated.
Thanks to these experiences I found my own method to practice the language in immersion, without having to spend the whole day in class.
I looked for alternatives that would allow me to interact with native speakers: I volunteered, participated in language exchanges, worked as a conversation teacher and much more.
All this helped me to meet locals with whom I had a real experience, while learning about the customs of the place. Being able to share my time allowed me to gain confidence in my conversation and step by step to improve my oral expression in other languages.
Now, I want to use all this experience and “tricks” to help you in your learning process.
Let’s enjoy Spanish together!
