Malaga - Pure Andalusia
Traveling time: 1 or 2 weeks - 11.11 or 18.11.2018
Despite strong competition, Malaga is still a destination much in demand. Perhaps because of its history, which hardly any other vacation area can offer in such richness. Or maybe it’s the climatic vistas, which one can only describe as resplendent. And then there are the countless restaurants, clubs and bars that are just perfect for the warm nights…

Day 4
For those looking for peace and relaxation, Malaga's botanical garden is just the place. In this oasis of silence, all you'll hear are a few birds singing and the splashing of the waterfall. We'll guide you through the olive, orange and lemon trees and give you tips for your garden at home!
Day 5
The garden was even a favorite retreat of the region's greatest son: Pablo Picasso. There is now a museum dedicated to him where we'll go to marvel at his work, which was way ahead of its time.
Day 6
On Friday we'll end the week in a typically Spanish way! With tapas in one of the best bars in town: "Pimpi". How do we know it's one of the best? Our local colleagues test it out almost every week.
Day 7
It is Saturday, finally you'll get to discover the symbol of Andalusia! The city of Granada itself is a must see, and not only popular among students. Then there's the Alhambra, which wins over even the most critical of tourists.
Day 8
What happens when Spanish temperament and French art meet? The Centre Pompidou Malaga. Only opened recently, we love visiting again and again to discover the ever-changing exhibitions.

Another recently opened museum, and touriost magnet, is the Museo de Málaga. The fine arts, as well as archaeological finds, give an impression of Malaga from the 19th century. Come with us!

Day 12
As varied as the city, our activity program has something for everyone. Come with us to Malaga's Cathedral and the Roman Theater. There won't ever be another performance here, but the cheers of the audience are still somehow palpable.

Another highlight to round off your language trip: On the last evening we'll go to Gallo Ronco together. At one of the most famed addresses in the city, you can enjoy a flamenco show while enjoying the delicious food.
