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.

Why you should learn Spanish at Instituto Picasso

"If you want to learn Spanish from expert native teachers in very small groups in the heart of Málaga’s historic downtown with plenty of cultural activities, then Instituto Picasso is the place for you."
