The people there were all very nice, endeavoured and took good care of me and the students. They serve churros during the first break on Mondays and I was lucky enough to have an international lunch on the last day. Perfect for a week. And especially that the lessons are only 45 minutes long.

The school's strengths are its teachers. Strong characters who are very committed and diversify the lessons. Ado is the soul of the school, but of course everyone is great!!!! The activities on offer are okay so far, but didn't appeal to me.

Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Accommodation: 1 star: bedroom next to 5 lane boulevard, much noise day and night, meals: the lady Milagros couldn't cook at all, she spoke very fast so I couldn't understand her, she didn't do an effort to speak slow. At the end I lost 2 kilos and got sick of course with the change of the temperatures. Conclusion: not to recommend for older people. I didn't complain to her not to disturb the atmosphere. 1 thing positive: an extra visit on Sunday with her family to different interesting places.
