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.

I can fully recommend the Instituto Andalusi: It is the best Spanish school I have ever been to. After graduating from high school I spent two months at the Instituto and my Spanish improved immensely. The teachers are excellent in explaining grammar, vocabulary or just the Spanish way of life. Even more importantly, however, all of them are super nice and funny and I never had more fun in classes then in the Instituto. The school... I can fully recommend the Instituto Andalusi: It is the best Spanish school I have ever been to. After graduating from high school I spent two months at the Instituto and my Spanish improved immensely. The teachers are excellent in explaining grammar, vocabulary or just the Spanish way of life. Even more importantly, however, all of them are super nice and funny and I never had more fun in classes then in the Instituto. The school is very well organised and the Swiss owner is always there and helps with any inconveniences. The pupils come from many European countries, e.g. Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Germany and so the atmosphere is quite international.
I actually liked my time there so much that I came back three more times. So if you want to learn Spanish and enjoy yourself - book a course in the Instituto!

2021.12.23 I brought the spanish learning book of my friend who borrowed it for 15 EUR deposit and forgot to bring it back to school before leaving to his country. On that day the receptionist did not give me back money because at that moment in the office she was alone and did not have cash (she went to check for it) and we decided that I will send my bank acc IBAN and she will transfer it. Until this day I did not receive it and got the message from the leading person that the receptionist gave back the money on the same day when I brought it. That is not true.

The teachers tho are very nice and helpful.
