Nerja is located on the Costa del Sol, 50 minutes from Malaga and is an ideal location to study Spanish and immerse yourself in Spanish culture . It is a village with around 20,000 inhabitants which has retained its individual Andalusian character.

Flanked by mountains and with beautiful beaches, it offers the ideal climate with an average annual temperature of 20ºC. Agriculture, fishing and tourism are the main industries.

Historically, it dates back to Palaeolithic times. However its name originates from Arabic: NARIXA (meaning abundant spring). The open and friendly people, traditions such as Carnival, Holy Week, the fiestas and Patron Saints´ Days and its proximity to major cities (such as Malaga, Granada and Seville) make Nerja the ideal place to study our language and culture.

Nerja's Prehistoric Caves and the small white villages in the surrounding area are well worth visiting for their cultural interest and individual charm. Being a Mediterranean Coastal Village, all types of water sports are available in addition to tennis, swimming, horse-riding and hiking, all of which can be organised around our intensive courses. When taking a little time off form study ou can  make the most of your free time by visiting the local bars and restaurants which serve typical regional dishes, as well as enjoying our traditional art: Flamenco. Nerja has high quality service and catering facilities and offers an excellent and authentic Spanish atmosphere to all students who come to visit.

The school was founded in 1980 by its current directors and affiliated to numerous professional associations which guarantee the quality of our courses and services. The School is located in the centre of the village, in a traditional Andalusian house, with a large tropical garden. It is just a few minutes walk from the beautiful nearby beaches and in the surrounding area you can also find all types of accommodation and shops.

Our facilities consist of 12 indoor and outdoor classrooms (the garden is a wonderful place to have a class) which are all fully equipped as well as a bookshop and a cafeteria.

Furthermore, about 3 minutes away from the school, we have our own Residence where students, in addition to staying in accommodation with all the modern facilities, can also make use of additional services such as a library, the Internet and a cafeteria.
