Those coming to learn Spanish
in Malaga can wave a smug goodbye
to the tourists heading for the Costa
del Sol. Without sacrificing the wonderful
Mediterranean climate, your package
comes in a very different but much
more rewarding form: here you have
a lively cosmopolitan port, a network
of attractive cobbled streets, a good dose of
art and history and, of course, a beautifully
long and inviting coastline. It’s also fair
to say that this is a city whose heart beats as
strong as any other in Spain: Malagüeños
certainly know how to enjoy life, and the impromptu
street-side flamenco and thriving seafood marisquerías
on the seafront are just for starters. So swap
the bucket and spade for your dictionary and come
and see what Spain's south is really all about.
The
School
With a superb location on Pedregalejo
beach, this school is housed in an
impressive Malagüeñan
villa. It has 7 classrooms in total,
an attractive reception area and beautiful
gardens shaded by pine trees where
lessons often take place during the
summer. It is just 5 minutes’
walk from an area
of shops and bars, and a 10 minute bus ride from
the centre of Malaga. It is also sister school
to the world-renowned Malaca Instituto and has
the luxury of the flagship school's excellent
services and reputation in matters such as school
infrastructure, course material, teaching standards
and student care. This is proven to ensure rapid
language learning in a truly enjoyable environment.
Client
Feedback
”I especially
liked the school because the teachers
were easy to understand and they always
tried to solve any student problems.
They were very friendly and it was
a lot of fun learning Spanish there.
Also the atmosphere is very international,
so there are lots of opportunities
for getting to know people from other
countries. Thank you!” Marika Schenk
