Spanish course in Nerja, Spain

Nerja is just perfect if you're looking for beautiful coastal town in southern Spain, with secluded beaches, friendly locals and fantastic weather! It's an ideal choice if you want to learn Spanish, because being a small town, people are friendly. So, you'll have lots of opportunities to stop and chat with local people, putting into practise the Spanish that you learn on your course. But Nerja is much more than just another small town on the coast. It has a unique charm of its own, with narrow winding streets, typical white-washed houses, flowers everywhere - and continuous sunshine!

Enjoying a lesson in the school garden

5 minutes' walk from our school

Nerja enjoys a really special 'Micro-climate', with warm sunny winters, due the protection of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the north, and summer temperatures which never get too hot because of the cooling sea breezes off the Mediterranean. Nerja's year-round warm sunny climate simply could not be better! And, because of Nerja's location in Andalusia, it is easy to visit beautiful cities like Granada, Seville, Cordoba and Ronda, at any time of year, returning to Nerja at the end of the day, to relax at the beach and enjoy this simply unique location.

Our school in Nerja is located in a beautiful white-washed villa, with extensive gardens and sun terraces. The school is ideally situated, right in the historic heart of Nerja, just a short walk from the beach. The school has spacious airy classrooms, a library and student cafeteria. There is also a kitchen, used for Spanish Cookery lessons. Due to the year-round sunshine which Nerja enjoys, and average temperatures of 21 degrees (72 degrees Fahrenheit), lessons are often held outdoors, in the school gardens - a beautiful place to learn Spanish! Our school also has a high-standard residence, with roof top swimming pool and private cafeteria, located just a short walk from the school.
