Spanish Lessons in Malaga, Spain

Babel Idiomas, Malaga:
Located in the centre of Malaga in Andalusia, southern Spain, Babel Idiomas offers high quality Spanihs language courses. We believe that the success of a Spanish language course does not only depend on the quality of teaching, although it is the key point of our service, but also on a friendly and helpful atmosphere, useful information (both before and during the Spanish course), professional organisation and, of course, excellent accommodation for each student. At Babel Idiomas our main objective is to provide Spanish language training and further services to the highest international standards. We will always try to exceed the standards expected by our clients. We do this through periodical quality surveys amongst our students and by implementing changes in our services wherever necessary to achieve a continual improvement.

Accommodation:
Host Family:
The best way to practise Spanish and get to know the culture is by living with a Spanish family.

All our families are selected personally by us and are monitored on a regular basis. The host family provides you with half board (breakfast and lunch or diner) and will always do their best to make you feel at home.

Some of our host families live on walking distance from the school, although others live only a short bus ride away.

When booking host family accommodation, we will always take into account your special requests regarding smoking, animals, alergies, etc.

Our shared apartments in Malaga are all fully furnished; TV, kitchen, stove with oven, microwave, fridge and freezer. They are cleaned on a weekly basis.

All students prepare their own meals, although there are many restaurants around the school.

While some apartments are in Malaga town centre and at walking distance from our Spanish school, others are closer to the Malaga beach and at an easy 15 to 20 minutes busride.

There is a lot to see and do in Malaga, and we will be very happy help you discover our city and the surroundings.

As capital of the Costa del Sol and second biggest city in Andalusia, Malaga has a lot to offer visitors. Its mild climate assures warm summers and pleasant winters, with only a few days of rain.

Some of the best sites of Malaga include the Cathedral, whose building started in the late 15th century, or the recently opened Picasso Museum, with a permanent exhibition of more than 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics illuminating his long and prolific career, from his first acedemic studies to his later paintings in the 1970s. Alternatively, you can visit the house where Picasso was born and spent the first few years of his childhood.

Other historical places in Malaga include the Alzacaba and Gibralfaro Castles dating from the Muslim occupation of Andalusia (from 711 to 1487 A.D.) when Malaga was one of the most important towns of the region.

Then round off the day by strolling though the winding streets of the old town, stopping for a glass of Malaga wine at one of the many Tapas Bars and practising your Spanish with the locals.
