Almuñécar is a small town located on the Mediterranean Coast of Granada, which has a unique tropical microclimate, hence the name “Costa Tropical”. Although it is a fishing village Almuñécar’s economy is also based on the production of tropical fruits such as the chirimoya, or custard apple, kiwi, avocado and nispora.

The Almuñécar coastline boasts over 19 kilometres of beautiful beaches and hidden bays with calm crystal-clear waters especially well suited to the practice of water sports such as diving, windsurfing, etc. Almuñécar Aquarium recreates this part of the Mediterranean sea, its habitat and ecosystems, with more than 3,000 specimens from 200 different species of fishes and invertebrates such as, octopus, jellyfishes, etc. Also, the proximity of the mountains is perfect for the practice of open air adventure sports such as trekking, paragliding etc.

Spanish courses in Almuñecar

The classes in Almuñecar will be carried out entirely in Spanish from the first day for every language level. We give prominence to the communicative approach because it is activity-based, interactive and learner-centred and it encourages learners to use the language as much as possible for real and purposeful communication, in real-life or realistic situations. We also follow an eclectic methodology in which the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of our students are taken into consideration. For that reason, we incorporate complementary techniques and strategies that have also proved successful in language learning.

Course levels

Our Spanish language courses in Almuñecar are organized according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe). Our courses start on any Monday, any level, except for the Teacher Training courses and the Courses for Teenagers. On the first day of the course participants will take a placement test to determine their command of Spanish grammar and conversation and vocabulary. At the end of the course every participant will receive the Attendance Certificate.

This is a very nice school! I was studying spanish filology and I needed special high level classes, but it wasn´t a problem for the school, they adapted the teaching program to me. The grammar lessens were much better then in the university! When I was back, my teacher on the university asked me where I learned speak so good… And you have a lot of fun. The town is lovely and you have a lot of posibilitis to see a lot of the culture of Andalusia.
