  1. Barcelona
  2. Valencia
  3. Madrid
  4. Zaragoza

Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia all have good language schools, so these are good places to learn Spanish. If you can find a school with branches in all three cities, you could take a week or two in each city, move to the next city and resume where you left off. One school that allows you to this is Don Quijote schools. Read about Learning Spanish at Don Quijote or Request a Brochure. Such a program may also be possible with International House.
