Benalmádena
Learn Spanish by the warm, sparkling waters of the Mediterranean, in sun-drenched Benalmádena! This is a colourful, lively town, yet it remains small enough to offer tranquillity and a glimpse into the traditional Spanish way of life. During your Spanish course in Benalmádena, you can walk the medieval streets of Benalmádena-Pueblo (the old town), discovering sights such as Castillo de Colomares (a magnificent monument to Christopher Columbus). Take the cable car up Mount Calamarro for superb views of the Spanish countryside, Gibraltar and even Africa on clear days. Then you can head back to the coast for a leisurely dinner, or to party the night away!

Student reviews & feedback
D. Rijkschroeff
This course was beyond my expectations. I felt very welcome. Teachers explained in a clear and calm way and they were very helpful. My course included excursions and activities, they were wonderful too!
D. Zimsek
Interactive and interesting classes, accommodation was basic but clean.
R. Melchionno
Impeccable teachers, couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful and fun. I’ve been to several language schools in Europe and Latin America studying French and Spanish, and this school was the best of all. Monica, our teacher for the conversation portion, is quite gifted in her ability to engage the students and the school is lucky to have her. I don’t often write reviews but I was motivated to do so now because I was so impressed with the school. And nobody is paying me to say this!
D. Grealis
Dominic had a lovely experience,lots of activities organised which we found great that Dominic was busy doing things and not hanging around with lots of free time on his hands.
His house Mum was very nice also, overall it was a great experience and I found Apple Languages great to deal with.
L. Rosier
The school was fantastic, professors and admin staff. It was lovely to meet other students from all over the world. Not really a classroom set up more discussion led, which going back to school at my age was great.
The apartment was in a super location, clean, and the lady of the house Josefa was marvellous. Very friendly and chatty (only in Spanish though) and she made us breakfast every morning.
I will certainly come back to Benalmadena again. The over 50 programme was fantastic, lots to see and do most days.
C. Mollon
Wow, what great teachers they have there. I have never had such great service. Would like to thank Juliana for being a true professional and gave so much time to help my friend and myself Thank you.x
Accomadation was great, very clean. The lady of the house spoke Spanish to us all the time even though I couldn't reply back most of the time.
What a great experience, would go again
M. Vinter
The course was very good and enjoyable. I wish I was staying for a few more weeks.
The Tutor Elena Beltrain was outstanding and I hope I have her again when I next come for a week. The classes are held in Spanish which I found hard to understand in the beginning and maybe lost a bit of momentum (but I guess you would say it helps with the learning ) ?
L. Britton
The staff were terrific and I came home feeling more confident about understanding Spanish and about speaking myself.
L. N.
I visited with my two neighbours and had a great time. I cannot fault the tuition - our teachers were highly professional and often very entertaining.I certainly felt that my Spanish had improved and I am motivated to continue to learn. I hope you will pass on my thanks to the College for such an enjoyable and fruitful course.I would definitely recommend it.
Our course included activities usually in the afternoon and these were highly enjoyable and all helped our appreciation of the language and the area.
F. Timmins
The teachers were excellent without exception, both in the classroom and on the additional activities. I applied for the course for seniors, and had been assessed at level B1.2. I was allocated to the B2 course, 6 students, including 4 young students who had been at the school for 8 months So I found the 2 weeks very challenging but fun.
I. Gijzen
First week I had individual lessons, the second week I was in a group. Both weeks the lessons were good. The extra Flamenco classes were great!
R. Sullivan
An excellent week. Very well equipped and friendly school. Plenty of opportunity to speak the language and practise outside of lessons. Student apartment very convenient for the school. Clean and well serviced.
W. Harvey
It was just what I wanted, with lots of revision on past tenses. The teachers were excellent; their lessons were informative and very entertaining. I was very sorry to be only staying for one week. I have every intention of returning to Benalmadena to do more courses. The accommodation was very good with excellent facilities, I would hope to stay there next time.
M. De Vlieger
The teachers were good and friendly. The course was good and it was very satisfying to be able to speak Spanish well after 4 weeks.
