Language school Málaga, Instituto Picasso

WiFi is free.

School

Our partner school carries the name of the famous painter and is located right beside the birth house of the master, at the heart itself of the historical and cultural centre of the city. Housed in a historical 19th century building on the Plaza de la Merced, surrounded by cafés, restaurants and tapas bars, it fits into this lively district and benefits from its stimulating dynamics. Since 1982, the Instituto Picasso gives high-quality teaching which leaves a lot of room for the discovery of the Spanish culture. 9 bright and spacious classrooms, perfectly equipped with modern teaching facilities, facilitate the teaching practised in classes with a reduced number of students. The library allows you to do research and the school makes its multimedia equipment and the video library with films and documentaries available to students. Throughout the course centre, you will have free Internet access. The beaches are a few minutes' walk away and come the evening, you will remember that it is possible to also practise your Spanish whilst sipping a sangria!

Accommodation

Host family
Our partner school chooses the families which welcome the students with care. Staying in a single or double room (to be shared with another participant in the course programme), you will choose between half board and full board. The families all live within a close perimeter of the school. Speaking Spanish in the family setting is reassuring and will allow you to consolidate the classes and to accomplish rapid progress.

Shared apartment
The apartments recommended by our partner school are located a few minutes' walk away from the course centre. In the summer, when the number of students is high, additional apartments, for which it is necessary to allow for a journey of 15-20 minutes as far as the school, are also available. The apartments are made up of three or four single or double rooms, a lounge, an equipped kitchen and two bathrooms and allow you to share with students from throughout the world. You will have the use of a television, a washing machine and household linen.

Leisure

Málaga is a Mediterranean city with a hot climate and exceptional conditions for outdoor sports like golf, tennis, beach volleyball, swimming and all water sports. You will be able to visit the monuments at the heart of a beautiful city and enjoy the coast, admirable for its atmosphere and its beautiful beaches.
The school organises a welcome drink and a farewell party for the students in order to facilitate the contact with the teachers in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Each weekend, it will propose an excursion to a place of cultural and touristic interest, accompanied by a teacher/guide, to you. Granada, Cordoba, Seville, the white villages, Ronda...there are so many things not to be missed! In order to complete the general vision of Spanish culture and Andalusian folklore, a teacher gives one free flamenco class per week. It is also possible to take a salsa class. Cinema, literature and music workshops, etc. will allow you to approach all the Iberian cultural diversity of which you will have an insight by learning Spanish. During your stay, you will take a free cookery class which will allow you to prepare some of the dishes typical of Andalusian and Spanish gastronomy. The students will be able to participate, every Thursday, in free cultural visits, accompanied by a guide. In the evening, outings with the teachers (food and drink at students' expense) will allow you to get to know the teaching body better.
