About the city

Andalucia a popular destination for lovers
of Spanish language and culture.
Located on the Mediterranean coast, MÝlaga is a cosmopolitan city and Spain's second largest harbour.
Malaga, conquered in 1487 by the Reyes Cat¤licos (the Catholic Monarchs),
the city became part of a united Spain, laying the foundations for
the Golden era of Spain. It has much to offer - theatres, cinemas, museums, a bullring and exciting nightlife.
The mild climate offers approximately 326 days of sun each year and beaches are located just a short distance from the city.
The city owes its individuality and flair to, among other things, the ancient eastern walls, and the cultural "finger-prints" left behind by the Saracens and the Moslems, who encouraged the establishment of many other religions.
We have discovered a very peaceful area in Pedregalejo on the edge of the city, an ideal place to live and learn, yet close to "El Palo", the nightlife centre of MÝlaga. It is said that guests have almost decided to stay forever, out of enthusiasm for learning and for the area.
Andalucia, unspoiled by its climate, leaves the impression that it will always flourish.
The area is ideally located for going on excursions, especially everywhere around the coastal region and the neighboring Sierra Nevada (an excellent skiing area).
The promenade frequented by countless locals offers bars and fish restaurants.
The lifestyle is also colorful, be it in cafes, shopping arcades and discos.
