Malaca Instituto - Spanish School in Málaga (Spain)

This is a great institute to learn Spanish. We came here with the Erasmus programme so a group of came here over the half term. The staff were extremely accommodating, we started with the beginner class as we had minimal Spanish vocabulary. We had the Mirador room the views from class was stunning! They provided excursions to cities and villages during our time here. The rooms are cleaned daily to a good standard. A very social place and community here, I would recommend to all who are considering coming here! Fantastico!

I'm compelled to write a negative comment to ensure the safety of future kids. While I think the program is good, I don't have proof. I can't judge improvements due to missing evaluation info.Regarding the lodging at Club Hispanico, it's important to know it can be dangerous. My daughter stayed in a room for 8 nights during a heatwave with no proper cooling – just a fan for 2 students – and the room temperature was over 40°C. These rooms shouldn't be rented, especially during a heatwave, and safe options should be free, not costing extra. The expenses were already high, so my daughter didn't mention the added fee for a better room. She got sick and wasted a week due to the conditions. I believe a full refund and compensation are fair. I'm worried the company prioritizes profit over student safety.

Very nice school. Good professors and location. There is a gym room, a swimming pool and a beautiful terrace. They organise some trips and also some activities inside the school (for example cinema evening, cooking lessons and flamenco lessons).

I had the greatest summer of my life at this school when I was 17 back in 2011. Juanito was the greatest Spanish teacher I ever had and the facilities and the on-property restaurant were both exceptional. Most of all, getting to meet students from all over the world and explore the Costa del Sol was extremely rewarding.

Everything in this school is perfect. From the teachers that are the best that I've ever had, to the receptionists and the restaurant staff that is always willing to help you if you need anything (I'm vegetarian and the cook made something different for me lots of days even though there was already vegetarian food for me in the buffet).Everyone is kind and it feels like they love their job and being in between different cultures.Teachers explained everything with passion and were willing to answer all kinds of questions. The first days were hard but they immediately made me feel like home.

It was a wonderful week. I enjoyed my stay and learnt a lot of Spanish. Staff have been wonderful. Gracias.

Estudié español y bachillerato allí desde noviembre de 2011 hasta junio de 2013.Todos los profesores eran muy amables y profesionales. Tenían muchas experiencias de enseñanza.Os hecho mucho de menos.

Stayed here 2x for several weeks. The property is nice and is a short walk to the beach. The return is more challenging due to the hill. There are plenty of dining options nearby.

Yo estuve en el instituto el Málaga atrás de un año por quince día. Las profesoras que yo tuve eran todas muy simpáticas y preparadas. Las lecciones le hicimos la mañana, y por la tarde hicimos excursiones, museos , por tapas , lugar donde hacían cervezas caseras.....Otra vez veimos peli, con Juan todos juntos hicimos fideua, dulce de chocolate . Asistimos a uno espectáculo de flamenco muy bueno. En el tiempo libre estábamos a la piscina , se ponemos morenas en la playa, y quien querría tomavan el bus para irse en la ciudad

I’ve done two weeks of their cookery course that consist of 16hrs 40mins of Spanish general lessons weekly, 2hrs of cooking session twice a week and some excursions related to the gastronomy. Teachers change everyday in the first and second session of the day. (Each session is 100mins)(Pros)-The whole program is very well structured.-The school staff is informative and supportive.-My morning main teacher Pilar is absolutely fantastic, she is very knowledgeable and professional. I’ve learnt a lot from her.-The cooking teacher Juan is also worth mentioned, he is fun to learn with yet very organised that everyone has an opportunity to take a part even when we have a big group.-Interactive whiteboard.-Excursions are not just to have fun but also to fully immerse in the Spanish culture and enhance our knowledge.(Cons)-They only accept cash when you want to join ‘paid’ excursions.-You need to email your credit card detail in an electric form to make a payment for enrolment if you prefer not to do bank transfer (which incurs some fee)-Some teachers only let us discuss under certain topics for the entire 100mins session. There is however no teaching of new expression or vocab introduced on the whiteboard alongside.If there was 4.5, I would give 4.5 - overall, it is a very good school that needs a tiny little improvement in some areas in my opinion. I’ve met loads of lovely people from all over the world which has become the best part of my study at Malaca. I am happy to return and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and the culture. Gracias ☺️
