This program includes a wide range of activities that will make the participants dive deep into Andalusian and Spanish culture, addressing several different aspects: history, dance, gastronomy, art… This way, they are provided a complete overview of how Málaga is defined today. As a fully immersive experience, students will be required to draw on the linguistic resources within reach in order to communicate and practise everything they have previously learnt.

The group will be always accompanied by our superb team of instructors, 24/7. They will guide the group through the different activities and visits, making sure that everyone feels comfortable to participate and absorb as much as possible from this experience. They will always be willing a ready to answer to any enquiry or suggestion that teachers or students may have. To sum up, they will make this trip unforgettable for everyone.

What do you think? Shall we begin discovering Málaga together?

Day 1

Upon your arrival, we will be waiting for you at the Málaga Airport. From there, we will go, in our private bus, to the hostel. After lunch, we will begin discovering the city with a guided tour around the main neighbourhoods and monuments.

Afterwards, we will go to the hostel, where we will have time to check in and relax a little bit. After dinner, the instructors will prepare some fun group activities to end the day in style!

Day 2

After waking up, getting ready and having breakfast at the hostel, we will head to the Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro. The Alcazaba is a palace fortress of Muslim origin that provides access to the Castle of Gibralfaro. This castle was built for protection purposes in the 14^th century. From its ramparts we can enjoy some awe-inspiring views of the city.

Then, we will go to the beach, where we will have time to have lunch, and when we have rested a bit, we will do an exciting scavenger hunt with our instructors. And then, free time to sunbathe, swim or have ice-cream… it’s up to you!

Later on, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner, we will go to enjoy a flamenco show!

Day 3

Today in the morning we are going visit the Museum of Popular Arts. It’s an ethnographic centre where we will get to know a bit more about the history of Málaga, through its different exhibits detailing the traditional customs: pottery, textile works, silversmithing…

In the afternoon, we are going to learn how to cook some Spanish recipes! We will begin by learning all the ingredients and the necessary instructions, while our chefs make all students participate according to each one’s skill level.

Later on, we will go back to the hostel and to end the day… which night activity will the instructors have for us?

Day 4

Today we’d better have a hearty breakfast… we are going on an excursion to El Caminito del Rey. It is a narrow footpath attached to the walls of a huge gorge following 3 kilometres along the river below…the views are just astonishing!

We will do a halfway stop to have lunch and then, we will continue our route up to the Chorro Station, where a shuttle will take us back to the starting point of the path. There, our bus will be waiting for us to go back to the hostel, have a restorative shower and have dinner.

And to finish the day, as usual, our team of instructors will be ready after dinner for a night-time activity, today we will have a TV contest!

Day 5

For our last day in Málaga, we are going to discover a lesser-known gem of the area: the Treasure Cave. It is one of only three marine caves in the world and the only one in Europe. It is situated 15 kilometres away from the city, so we will spend the morning there and come back for lunch.

We will have lunch at the Málaga Park and then, we will visit Pablo Ruiz Picasso’s birthplace: a building that now houses the Picasso ation. We will discover a part of the artist’s life and artwork through workshops and activities. When we finish, we will have free time to buy some souvenirs or go for a walk in the city centre.

Finally, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner… the instructors have prepared a little surprise!

Day 6

This amazing trip is coming to an end… so, after breakfast, we will have time to pack our things and head to the airport.

We hope to see you soon! Have a safe journey back!
