About Instituto Picasso
Language school Instituto Picasso is located on the lively Plaza de la Merced, the student square of Málaga. Close to many of the city's cultural attractions, including historic Gibralfaro. Málaga is a pleasant city where you can get everywhere quickly. So also from Instituto Picasso, you can walk to the popular shopping street Calle Larios in just a few minutes and you can be on the beach in about 15 minutes. And fun fact: a few houses next to the school is the birthplace of the famous artist Pablo Picasso, which is now a museum.
The school is located in an attractive building from the 19th century. The beautiful tiled floors, large arched windows with fine stained glass and the beautiful view from the small balcony make it a nice place to learn Spanish.
Throughout the year, Instituto Picasso offers Spanish language courses for students of all levels and ages, supplemented with fun outdoor activities such as cultural outings and guided tours. The school is accredited by Instituto Cervantes, scores great reviews and has a team of expert teachers who are all native Spanish speakers. And with a maximum group size of 10 students, everyone receives a lot of personal attention.

Outstanding Malaga language school with great instructors and housing options
"Instituto Picasso is, by far, the best language school experience I have ever had! I have gone back over 5 times to study Spanish in the picturesque Mediterranean port city of Malaga, Spain. The school is situated in the cultural center of this ancient city, a block away from a 1000 year old Moorish fortress and castle, ruins of a Roman amphitheater, and subterranean ruins of a Phonecian neighborhood, to name just a few of the cultural wonders that surround the school’s central location. Instituto Picasso is a perfect place to immerse yourself for a one of a kind language learning experience. The staff of the school are friendly and easy to work with to set up your accommodations and class schedule. The registration process was quick and simple (and surprisingly affordable including both classes, and housing)! There are several great options for housing, whether a private apartment, shared apartment, or homestay, they have accommodations of all types, for all types! The amazing language instructors at the school have countless years of collective teaching experience at all levels and backgrounds. The entire staff at Instituto Picasso are kind, patient and thoughtful people and comfortable to work with. Beyond the great language classes, they offer group activities and events to further engage visiting students, staff, and locals outside of the classroom. Instituto Picasso is a fantastic place to study Spanish, immerse yourself in the local culture, and meet new and exciting people from all over the world!"
