Spanish Language School in Madrid & Malaga

In Madrid, the language school is centrally located in the city’s most exclusive Salamanca district and only minutes away from the Retiro Park in Madrid's Golden Mile. In Malaga, you really are getting the best of both worlds by combining beach and city life. The language school's carefully chosen location is ideal; just a 15 minute walk to the beach and a 15 minute bus ride to the city centre.
