Malaga
The
picturesque city Malaga is situated on the Spanish south coast. Antonio
Banderas and Pablo Picasso were born there and Salvador Dali lived in
the city for many years. Due to its subtropical climate, Malaga is the
ideal destination for combining a language course with a holiday at
the seaside. The city owes its individuality and unique flair to the
cultural "finger-prints", e.g. the ancient eastern walls,
left behind by the Saracens and the Moslems, who encouraged the establishment
of many other religions.
The
people in this area are always ready to involve strangers and make them
feel welcome in their society. The city lifestyle is also colourful,
as you can see in cafes, shopping arcades and discos. Here, the young
Andalucians dance the night away and drink, in harmony with guests from
all around the world. Málaga is so lively, that we could be tempted
to think that the Magalueos sleep the whole day in order to be "fit
for the bar" the next night! However, there is no sign of people
sleeping when you see Málaga by day - a lively city indeed. Unspoiled
by its climate, ideally located for excursions to the Andalusian coast
region and the neighbouring Sierra Nevada (excellent skiing area), Málaga
leaves the impression that she will always flourish.

Excursions
You can feel extremely comfortable in Pedregalejo. Here are the most
beautiful beaches of Malaga and an endless promenade of restaurants,
cafeterias and bars which are a magnet for people of all ages. When
you go for a walk and look closely at the villas of Pedregalejo, you
will be able to imagine how your dream-house should be. 
Activities and trips are mainly organized during the summer months.
Besides the welcome, farewell and beach parties, you can take part in
the wine tasting events, the tapas tours in the old town centre accompanied
by guitar evenings and also excursions to Granada, Seville, Nerja or
visits to the white villages of Ronda and Mijas.
You should also visit Alcazaba, a Moorish castle with richly ornamented
hall and inner courts, which resemble the Alhambra, then the Moorish
Castillo de Gibralfaro, which is a symbol of the city, and La Manquita,
(the one armed), the city cathedral with an altar made of black and
white marble. In the Capilla de los Reyes you can enjoy different statues
of Spanish monarchs and paintings by Cano.
If you are interested in culture, Malaga also has something for you.
The Museo de Bellas Artes with a exhibition of Picasso's works (who
was born in Málaga) and works by El Greco, Zurbarn, Murillo,
Degrain and Morales.
You also have to see the Calle Larios, the street for boutiques in Málaga,
where you find the local specialities like cloths, leather and forged
works. Whoever enjoys the free and easy atmosphere where something is
always happening should come to Malaga.
Ronda, a picturesque small mountain village, is very famous for its
old stone bridges and Arabian baths.

In
Pedregalejo it is easy to find beautiful and centrally located apartments,
because it is Malaga's favourite living area. The participants share
3/4/5 room flats with bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. The rooms
are divided into 3 different levels of comfort according to furnishings
and location. It is also possible to book a single or double room. Most
of the 3* apartments are within a 5 minutes walk to the school and the
beach!
Families
Being part of a Malagueñan family gives you the perfect opportunity
to use the language outside the classroom and to get to know the Andalusian
way of life and culture. You stay with carefully selected families,
single or double rooms with half board. The majority of the families
are located centrally in well established areas easily to be reached
by foot.
