What our students said about Marbella

Marbella is not the best place to learn Spanish. Many foreigners live in Marbella, so you are often addressed in English in shops. Marbella has beautiful beaches, a nice old center and a lively entertainment center around the harbor.

René Netherlands

Marbella has nothing to do with the school. What does the city have to do with it? The city is wonderful, the school is not.

The location is great, right in the middle of Marbella's old town. Small groups.
Communication really needs to improve, as a new student I had to tell the other existing students that we only had 3 days of classes.
