Spanish: Bemidji, Minn.

We built the Spanish Language Village on Turtle River Lake near Bemidji, Minn., to make you feel as though you’ve magically happened upon a real Spanish village.   The comfortable cabins and facilities are nestled in the beautiful North Woods of Minnesota.  As unexpected as it is beautiful, every detail of this Village — from the mailboxes to the street signs to the menus — are authentic to Spanish-speaking cultures.
