Surrounding Area
Benalmadena is an attractive coastal town of the Costa del Sol (approx. 50.000 inhabitants) situated on a hill at the foot of the Mijas mountains range, only 18 kms. from Málaga city and 8 kms. from Málaga international airport, which is within 3 hours flying time from most european capitals.
Originally a sleepy Andalusian fishing village with beautiful white washed houses, Benalmadena has developed into a lively and animated town which retains its old charm and character.
The town is small enough to provide a peaceful and secure environment, while large enough to offer good shops, hotels and restaurants, a large park and a modern sports centre. Benalmadena offers a wide range of amenities for all ages, such as an amusement park, a water park, an outdoor cinema, a shopping centre, a casino, 18 hole golf greens and the popular Puerto Marina de Benalmadena, with 978 mooring slips, a sailing school, an aquarium and a diving school. It has become one of the favorite meeting places for young people for its dazzling nightlife.
The geographical situation of Benalmadena enables the students to organize cultural excursions to the most important cities of Andalucia and to Morocco, only a short one hour ferry trip away.
Situated between two seas and two continents, Andalucia is the largest of Spain\’s natural regions and the one with the highest population. The region is wide and richly varied, including the Sierra Morena, the Guadalquivir Valley and the Betica Ranges. The climate, as varied as its geographical features, is Mediterranean, with mild winters and dry summers.
The millenarian history of Andalusia has produced an inmense artistic legacy. The Alhambra in Granada, the Mosque in Cordoba or the Giralda and the historic quarter of Seville are Humanity\’s monumental landmarks. However in the vast majority of its cities and towns we can find representations of the finest moments of the Andalusian artistic life throughout time.
Malaga is the smallest of the Andalusian provinces with approx. 600.000 inhabitants. It has a privileged place at the mouth of the Guadalmedina river, on the Mediterranean coast.
Facilities
School facilities occupy a modern building with 20 large, sunny classrooms, all with audio-visual technology and air conditioning. There is also a library with a wide range of material available to students, a cinema for Spanish language movies, conferences and seminars, a cafeteria on the spacious, sunshade terrace, offices, common areas, etc. There is free WIFI access available to our students throughout the school. In 2016 and 2017, we added 7 new classrooms in two annexed buildings. Like our other classrooms, they are equipped with the latest audio-visual technology to learn Spanish in a modern and innovative way.
Next to the school are the offices of our sister company, Maravillas Travel, where students can book extra cultural visits and routes, weekend trips, flights, hotels, rental cars or other services.
Our offices are open from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 20:00.
Activity
School offers a full and varied program of cultural visits, sports, social outings and excursions throughout the year. Details vary from week to week and from season to season.
There is no minimum level required to participate in the activities. Every week we offer a wide range of activities, most of them free of charge: Spanish movies, conferences on Spanish arts, history or literature, local visits to museums, Flamenco (Sevillanas) dance lessons, evening outings to tapas bars, restaurants, cinemas, Sangria parties etc.
Once a week we offer “tutor lessons” where the students can have a 30-minute sessions with a teacher to further discuss grammatical structure, vocabulary or other subjects.
Additional sports activities are also offered. These include: horseback riding, golf, sailing, windsurfing, outdoor tennis, badminton, volleyball and beach volleyball.
Our staff are always available to offer advice and help with arranging any activity which are of special interest to individual students.
For us it is essential that you get to know the Spanish lifestyle, the culture, the people, the tasty cuisine. This is an important part of your stay, since it enriches your experience and helps you improving the knowledge of the Spanish language.
