Paola MorenoDirector

The Cervantes Escuela Internacional was founded

in 1986. Since then we have been dedicated

exclusively to the teaching of Spanish as a Foreign

Language, hosting students and professionals

from all over the World. We believe that the

teaching of a language does not only take place

in the classroom, but also in a wider context of

social exchange and interaction. The Cervantes

Escuela Internacional provides a teaching centre

both within and outside the classroom: social and

cultural activities, excursions, and exchanges

with Spaniards. This all forms part of the

experience of learning a language and seeing the

world from the point of view of a di�erent culture.

The Cervantes Escuela Internacional

is a leader in the market place for

this approach and many of our

students return in subsequent

years to continue their studies.

It is a very ancient city (almost 3000 years old) that still preserves its own identity, maintaining its Andalusian character and offering many monuments from different historical periods.

Washed by the Mediterranean, Malaga is situated close to many interesting places such as Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Ronda and Morocco in North Africa.

The average annual temperature is 19 degrees. The sun shines for 320 days a year, with less than 50 days of rain. This pleasant climate lasts all year, making it a perfect place to study, enjoy your free time and play open air sports: golf, water skiing, sailing, beach volleyball and surfing, or in the mountains that surround Malaga: hill walking, climbing, paragliding, hang gliding, or horse riding.

The airport of Malaga is the most important in the south of Spain with numerous domestic and international flights.

In addition, Malaga enjoys a great university atmosphere (Malaga University counts for more than 45.000 students).

The Malaga Fair (La Feria de Málaga)The most important two ferias in Spain are in Malaga and Seville.

Malaga’s feria is held in the middle of August and lasts for eight days.

The streets of the feria in the city centre are full of colours, typical

flamenco costumes and music. Everyone, as much from Malaga as

other places, shares in the festivities and the dancing while they eat

and drink. It is a daytime event that is as impressive as the nights in

the main feria ground.

Main Fiestas

12

Holy Week (Semana Santa)Along with the Feria this is one of the most important events in Spain.

Processions are organised during the whole week, and last until the

small hours of the morning, with enormous local participation. This

colourful spectacle is a unique experience.

The Night of San Juan (La Noche de San Juan)This festival of pre Christian origin takes place on 23rd June, at night.

It is one of the traditional Malaganian fiestas. They make bonfires all

along the beach, prepare barbecues and have parties. At midnight

people bathe and jump over the bonfires, where they burn allegorical

figures. It is a very enjoyable night.

Study and enjoy yourselfIn Malaga it is possible to combine your studies with sunbathing,

swimming at the beach, eating and drinking by the sea in all the bars

and restaurants that you find along the Paseo Marítimo. At night the

young people can go to all the places especially designed for them in

this area.

TheatresThey hold theatrical works in the open air, in streets and squares. In the

Teatro Cervantes there is a season of opera and concerts of classical

music, jazz and flamenco, as well as numerous plays throughout the

year.

Concerts of modern musicDuring the summer, they hold pop and rock concerts at the port, with

many famous groups and soloists taking part.

Malaga bullringAs well as the bullfights, they also hold pop and rock concerts in the

bullring.

Live in a family

Live in a flat

What you learn in school, you can practise at home. Living with a Spanish family gives you the opportunity to get the best out of the course, to know the food, the culture and Spanish customs. You will be part of real Spanish life and this experience will improve your command of Spanish. It is logical that you will have to adapt a little to the habits of the family, but you will be able to enjoy their friendship and yet on the other hand, be independent, with your own frontdoor key. You can choose an individual or a double room and full or half board. When you are in Malaga if you want to change your accommodation, we can organise it quickly for you.

Accommodation is an essential part of your stay in Malaga, which is why the Cervantes Escuela Internacional pays special attention to its selection, through periodic visits and the feedback from students. Some accomodations are near the school, between 5 and 10 minutes to walk, while others are 10 minutes by bus or 25 minutes to walk from school.

“A cultural exchange”To live in a flat with other students is to share your experiences with four or five people from different countries and cultures and to make friends.Each flat has a lounge with TV, a fully equipped kitchen, one or two bathrooms and three or four bedrooms. You can choose between a double and a single room. You only need to bring towels with you.

Page 15: Cervantes Escuela Internacional

Residence

Accommodation in hotels or hostels

Individual apartments

Our Residence is in a typically Spanish house of high standard, with maximum comfort, garden and swimming pool. It is in a quiet residential area of Malaga and only 25 minutes on foot from the school.Accommodation is in individual or double rooms (each one has its own individual refrigerator). There are bathrooms, a kitchen, lounge, television, library, terraces and shared access to the Internet.

If you do not wish to share your accommodation with anyone else, or you come with friends or family, the Cervantes Escuela Internacional will find you a studio flat, an apartment or a flat, to suit your requirements. The minimum stay is one month, commencing from the 1st of each month. You will only need to bring towels.

There are a number of small hotels very close to the school and the beach, and the price depends on the facilities and category. For more information speak to us at the the Cervantes Escuela Internacional.
