About Instituto Andalusi de Español

In the cute and quiet fishing village of El Palo, in the East of Malaga, is the Instituto Andalusi language school. The school is located in a beautiful Andalusian villa and has a large garden, two terraces and a swimming pool. This makes the school an ideal location to relax and get to know your classmates outside of the lessons. Within ten minutes’ walk is one of the extensive beaches of El Palo, whilst there are Spanish bars and restaurants with delicious fresh fish, within walking distance. The location outside the busy centre of Malaga makes the school ideal for everyone who comes by car: there are many parking spots in the neighbourhood. However, your own transport is not necessary: being only 20 minutes to the centre by bus. The teachers are the beating heart of the school and ensure that everyone gets good Spanish lessons and feels part of the Andalusian family.

Friendly teachers and helpful staff made my two weeks enjoyable

"I was here for two weeks and can recommend the school. The teachers and all the other people working here are extremely friendly and always well-prepared. Time changes were communicated up front, even the final certificate was handed out before the last class has ended. It’s not easy to form groups with the same level but they tried hard and managed all that very good. I gotta emphasis the kindness of the people working here, also remembering my name in the morning. Thanks for having me!"

Loved Malaga, amazing teachers and a welcoming atmosphere

"I stayed at Andalusi for five weeks this fall and loved every second of it! I originally only planned to study there for one week but ended up extending my stay until I was there for over a month. The teachers at Andalusi are amazing and lead engaging and interesting classes, and the cheerful atmosphere they create is welcoming and easy to adjust to. During my stay there I formed close bonds with the students and teachers at the school, and fell in love with Malaga too. I hope I can return soon! Highly recommend this school."
