Where to Buy Spanish Textbooks in Buenos Aires
If you are interested in studying Spanish while you are in Buenos Aires you should consider getting a textbook from the University of Buenos Aires.

I took a Spanish class here and found it really beneficial (more information can be found here). If you don’t want to take a class you can still buy the book and study it by yourself or with a private teacher.

You can study Spanish practically every city in Latin America or Spain, but studying at a University can give you access to some of the best teachers. It also looks good on your resume. This is something backpackers should consider as well. Why not…
