Learn Spanish in Malaga

Linguaschools Malaga

Linguaschools Malaga is part of the Linguaschools Spanish language school network and offers Spanish courses in Malaga’s historic city centre for adults and young adults from around the world. The school combines intensive Spanish courses, short- and longer-term study options, accommodation, personalised student visa support and cultural activities with the relaxed atmosphere of a boutique-style Spanish school.

Malaga

Malaga is a Mediterranean city with a long history, a lively old town and an easy connection between Spanish learning, local culture and daily life by the sea. It combines Andalusian heritage, beach access, tapas, museums, street art and a relaxed rhythm that makes it an attractive place to study Spanish for a few weeks or several months.

The city’s historic centre brings together many layers of its past and present. Roman ruins, the Alcazaba, the cathedral, the Picasso Museum, Plaza de la Merced, the port and the beach are all part of everyday Malaga life. This makes the city easy to explore after class, whether you want to visit a museum, meet classmates for tapas, walk to the sea or discover another old-town street.

Malaga is especially well suited to students who want Spanish immersion in a Mediterranean city setting. It offers the cultural depth of an Andalusian city, the relaxed pace of a coastal destination and enough local life to keep practising Spanish outside the classroom.

Malagueta Beach

Malaga is a city that stands right on the beach. Visiting Malagueta isn’t something you do once, it’s something you do almost every day. Come to swim in the Med, eat from the seafood shacks, and stroll the tree-lined promenade.

Picasso

The 20th-century’s most recognisable artist was born in Malaga. His museum takes you on a journey from formative works to famous masterpieces, as well as showing inspirational pieces that Picasso himself collected.

Alcazaba

Brimming with Moorish beauty, the Alcazaba is an old citadel perched high above the Mediterranean. Fountains fill the gardens and fortified ruins showcase the time when Malaga really evolved. The Alcazaba is lit up in the evenings, making it an excellent compass point for your stay.

Malaga Port

The modern side to Malaga, this port has become a lively place to be throughout the day and evening. You probably won’t be setting sail from here but you can walk the promenade and get to know its distinct energy.

Old town

Malaga’s old town is older than most. It stretches back through 2000 years of history, with different centuries along the cobblestone lanes. Get to know the old town and you’ll find favourite tapas bars and local shops, plus plazas for enjoying the Spanish way of life.

I booked a week's course of 10 individual lessons at Lingua Schools, Malaga with Laura. Learnt a huge amount and it really boosted my confidence. I'm learning at the age of 67 so need the encouragement and respect as a 'later learner' which I undoubtedly got. Would book again without hesitation when the next opportunity comes up.

Met individuals from across the globe, gained a genuine understanding of the Spanish language, and, remarkably, never felt as though I were in a traditional classroom. Will be back!
