What makes a language study trip to Málaga so special?
For decades, Málaga has been one of the most popular holiday paradises on Spain's Costa del Sol and is also an interesting destination for language trips. In Málaga, you can learn vocabulary in the warm evening twilight or enjoy a glass of Vino Tinto with locals in the tavern. The capital of the Costa del Sol has retained its local charm despite tourism. Malaga's young population meets mainly on the most beautiful beach in El Palo and Pedregalejo, where our language school is also located. Here you can not only relax wonderfully, but also enjoy freshly grilled fish in fishing boats. Then it's off to the colourful Andalusian nightlife. Excursions to Ronda, Granada, Seville or Gibraltar are also very worthwhile.
