A language trip to Malaga
Whats life like in Malaga outside the classroom?
Life in Málaga
Life in Málaga revolves around 'pasión' - a passion for good food, art, culture, and the good life. You can feel this energy everywhere: in the bustling Calle Larios, at the sun-drenched Plaza de la Merced, and in the shady gardens of the Alcazaba. It's this authentic Spanish atmosphere that makes your language journey extra special.
Location by the beach
A unique aspect of Málaga is the location of the historic center: the beach and the modern port are just a stone's throw away from the old town. This means that as a student, you have the best of both worlds. After your morning classes, you can choose: do you dive into the narrow streets of the center for some culture and tapas, or do you walk to the beach in 10 minutes for a refreshing swim?
Pier One
The renovated harbor, Muelle Uno, has become a vibrant meeting place where students love to gather. Here you will find trendy restaurants, cozy cafes, and the Centre Pompidou - perfect for a coffee or lunch with your fellow students. In the evening, the harbor area transforms into one of the city's most lively nightlife spots. The mix of locals and international students makes it an ideal place to practice your Spanish in a relaxed atmosphere.
Beach Bars
The beach of La Malagueta, right next to the city center, is not just a place for sunbathing and swimming. You can also find numerous chiringuitos (beach bars) where you can enjoy fresh fish and seafood between your classes. Many students come here to study with their feet in the sand or to relax with classmates at sunset after a day in the classroom. On weekends, you can even join free yoga classes or participate in beach volleyball tournaments here - a perfect way to meet locals and practice your Spanish.
What types of Spanish courses can I take in Malaga?

The general group courses are the most popular - here you work on all language skills with fellow students at your level. Want to progress faster? Then you can opt for an intensive course with extra lessons or tailored private lessons. For those who want to obtain an official certificate, there are special preparation courses for the DELE or SIELE exam. You can also choose a Business Spanish course or one of the fun themed courses where you combine language with, for example, flamenco, cooking, or Spanish art.
What is the cost of living and studying in Malaga?
A Spanish language course in Malaga starts from €150 per week for about 20 lessons. The longer your course lasts, the cheaper the price per week becomes. The cost of living in Malaga is also pleasant: for €8-12 you can enjoy a delicious lunch with a drink in a local restaurant. A café con leche on a sun-drenched terrace costs about €2, and a beer in a bar is around €2.50. You can travel around the city by public transport for €1.35. A room in a shared apartment can be found from €150-300 per week. This makes Malaga one of the most affordable cities on the Costa del Sol for a language course.
Duration of Spanish Studies in Malaga?
The perfect study duration varies per person and depends on your starting point and end goal. To achieve one language level (such as from A1 to A2), you typically count 4 to 6 weeks with an intensive course of 20 lessons per week. Do you want to speak Spanish fluently? Then a stay of at least 12 weeks is recommended. The schools in Malaga are flexible - you can start from 1 week and always extend if you want to stay longer.
