The language school is located next to the garden of the cathedral, in the centre of the lively social life of Malaga, at only a 10 minutes' walking distance from the beach, in a stunning 19th century building with 6 bright and ample classrooms full of light and life.
The language school is located in Pedregalejo, one of the city's most attractive and fashionable areas in the east of Malaga. The district grew up in the 1950's and became a favourite refuge for rich families who were looking for a quiet atmosphere far away from hectic urban life and city centre noise.
