Courses
Learning a language involves much more than simply mastering grammar and vocabulary. You need to live it. This is why all our courses include out-of-classroom activities, enabling you to continue using your Spanish at the same time as you are enjoying our country-side, culture and cuisine. Tapas nights, picnic excursions and visits to the most enchanting corners of our city … we’ll make sure that you feel, every moment that you’re with us, as if you’re in your own home!
Learn the Spanish that suits your needs in a fun and practical way through our ELE programme of courses, adapted to your availability and level. We offer our students personal attention.
Our lessons have minimum 3 students and maximum of 8 students per classroom, because we know the importance of small-group teaching,

Claves and tasting
Cueva del Hundidero:
The Hundidero-Gato System has about 10 kilometers of galleries and numerous different routes. Inside this cave we will find potholes, about 25 lakes, siphons, calcite flows, calcareous formations… Quite a spectacle for caving lovers, but we are simply going to approach the impressive entrance.
Presa de los caballeros:
It is an infrastructure with a peculiar history. It is almost 84 meters high from its base to its crown and is part of a project that began more than a century ago to create a swamp in this place.
The great dam is now an exceptional balcony of a megalomaniac work that is a different and spectacular point in the visit to this area. Without a doubt, it is one of those places that you can enjoy calmly and cautiously, causing sensations that are not very common in the middle of nature.
Cueva del Gato:
Located 15km from Ronda, this Cave was formed by water erosion. It is the most important cave system of its type in Andalucía, with chasms, lakes, syphons, canyons and chambers, some of which reach up to 70 metres in height. The system is a total of 7,818 metres in length, but our visit is restricted to the exit, because to explore the interior requires speliological equipment. It is an incomparable site, with crystral-clear water.
