Keep reading, these are just some of the reasons for coming to Málaga.
Is the weather really so good?
Yes, it certainly is. Málaga has one of the best climates in Europe, with mild winters and warm summers, an average of 300 days of sun a year and an average temperature of 19 degrees centigrade. So it's a pleasure to be outside, go to the beach (with the Malagueta you'll have your urban beach), take a stroll on the seafront promenades (you'll love the one at Pedregalejo), stop at one of the beach bars (you'll find a wide variety at Los Álamos), or sit on one of the terraces (those of the hotels in the city centre are a must)... Yes, because in Málaga people love to go outdoors. With this climate, who's going to stay at home?
Will I find good possibilities for studying?
Without a doubt. Málaga can boast a great variety of Spanish language centres, with years of experience and excellent professionals, where learning the language is great fun. Students don't just learn in the classroom, there are countless activities that complete and complement their language studies in the most enjoyable way possible, with group outings, trips, cuisine, language exchanges, and so on.
Will the people of Málaga give me a good welcome?
Málaga is a cosmopolitan province, where there has been a very diverse mix of nationalities and cultures for centuries. The people of Málaga, or Malagueños, consider everyone who lives there to be part of their community, because hospitality and friendliness are two of their greatest virtues. Making friends and meeting good hosts is very simple in Málaga, and soon after arriving you will feel at home.
And what can I do when I've finished studying?
The best way of learning a language is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere, interact with the locals and soak up their customs and traditions. In Málaga, this will be very easy, because as well as the friendliness of its inhabitants, there is a wide range of leisure and culture on offer for all tastes and budgets, and at any time. There are museums such as the Picasso and the Pompidou, concerts, theatre (don't forget to go to the Cervantes or the Echagaray), cinema (in April the city becomes a big red carpet with the Spanish Film Festival), or you can go out for the night. The days will be too short for you to do everything you would like to.
And if I want to get away from the city for a while?
The province of Málaga has wonderful natural surroundings, where you can choose either the sea or the mountains and do any kind of sport or activity, visit towns and cities full of monuments and sights or lose yourself in the charming small towns and villages to be found inland. Visiting the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda, the Sierra de las Nieves and Axarquía should not be missed, and neither should a trip to the coastal towns such as Marbella, Mijas and Estepona.
