Location: EF International Language Center Malaga is located in the historic Spanish city of Malaga, in southern Spain. The birthplace of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, Malaga offers students a fantastic base for studying along the Costa del Sol. The school is housed in a 20th-century villa-style property, with its very own garden and lemon trees, within walking distance of many of the city's attractions and the beautiful beaches of the Playas Del Palo, which are just around the corner. Close by there are restaurants and supermarkets, with the centre of Malaga and attractions such as the Picasso Museum only a 23-minute train ride away. Malaga International Airport is within an 80-minute journey of the school via train.

Accreditations and Associations: EF Malaga is accredited by EAQUALS and the Instituto Cervantes for its excellence in language education.

School facilities: The school offers facilities complete to give students of all ages a unique and pleasant experience in Malaga. The facilities include a cafeteria, lounge area, outdoor garden, a computer lab, games room and a student support desk for any questions or queries that arise. Each classroom is equipped with air conditioning, heating and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves.
