Learn Spanish in Malaga
This is your Spanish course location in Málaga
Málaga, capital of the Costa del Sol (600,000 inhabitants) is picturesquely located on a wide gulf, the Bahia de Málaga. The second largest city in Andalusia welcomes travelers all year round with an exceptionally mild climate, bright blue skies and numerous leisure facilities.
The city has remarkable sights: a Moorish castle, the Alcazaba, a baroque cathedral and the Picasso Museum in the painter’s birthplace. Málaga offers every imaginable opportunity to enjoy going out with the fun-loving Málaguenos until late at night: tapas bars, bodegas, excellent flamenco bars, bars with Andalusian dishes, street parties with gypsy music and, above all, life among Andalusians.
Tourism has not been able to deprive the city of its typical Andalusian flair, especially since most holidaymakers move from the airport westwards to the holiday areas around Torremolinos. In the recent past, Málaga has experienced a significant economic boom. With the arrival of high technology, shopping centers and modern residential areas, the romantic, folkloric image is no longer exclusively valid.
Stylish old town
