The mini-campus of Malaca Instituto-Club Hispanico is situated in an up-market suburb of Malaga, 10 minutes’ walk from the Pedregalejo beach area famous for its authentic beachfront fish restaurants (“chiringuitos”) and bohemian environment. The historic city centre of Malaga is 15 minutes’ away by local bus or 10 minutes by taxi.
With almost 3000 years of history this is one of Europe’s oldest cities and, with around 600,000 inhabitants, of medium size. Everywhere you see the juxtaposition of old and new: the Roman Amphitheatre and Picasso Museum, the Centre Pompidou and the Palacio de la Aduana, the Muelle Uno yacht marina and the historic centre.
With 35+ museums, this is a cultural powerhouse as well as a city of great historic interest. It is ideal for school groups who need plenty of cultural activity, for the mature student looking for authenticity, gastronomy, culture and a degree of tranquility, and just about everyone in between. As a Mediterranean city there is, of course, plenty of quality nightlife for the younger student.
Exams
We prepare students for the DELE Examinations and also for the SIELE Global. These are the officially recognized exams in Spanish as a Foreign Language and the B2 is the level at which Universities accept students to study and employers accept that people have an effective communicative ability. We offer from 1 to 4 weeks specific DELE exam preparation courses for levels B1 and B2 for those who already have the level required. Other students take Intensive courses with us to achieve the level and then the exam course prior to the exams. We can also organize for students to take the Madrid Chamber of Commerce Spanish for Business examinations.
