 Location The Academy is located within the old city walls, in the heart of the historic center with the whole town accessible by foot. The building itself is a prime example 19th century Castilla y León architecture, and is set in a lively area surrounded by other cultural sites of interest.

The courtyard – a classic cloister– is visible from any of the center’s large, interior glass windows. The patio’s magnificent adornment and structure is complimented by an adjacent 15th century church. Considered some of the best examples of the Spanish plateresque style, these architectural gems are only accessible to those who attend this center! Behind the church, there is an extensive sports facility which includes a soccer field, a basketball court, a handball court, a frontón (Basque handball court), a volleyball court, an in-line skating rink and more.
