Pueblo Ingles

---

Pueblo Ingles literally means "English Village." It´s a 1-week English immersion village for Spanish people so they can practice their English with "native English speakers" without having to travel to Enlgand or North America.

I applied as a volunteer through their website at www.puebloingles.com. This week there are 18 Spaniards and 18 Anglos (from USA, Canada, Ireland and England). The schedule is structured and rigorous, but it´s a brilliant way to meet Spaniards in Spain without having to speak Spanish. As a matter of fact, it´s forbidden to speak Spanish at all!

It´s located in Valdelavilla, a remote village about 4 hours from Madrid. They think it was an old shepherd´s village that was originally built way back in the 1500´s. It was reconstructed as a rural tourist complex after it was abandoned in the 1960's for demographic reasons.
