Málaga, the heart of the Costa del Sol, is known as Picasso's birthplace, for the Alcazaba fortress, its beaches and more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Combining Andalusian culture with Mediterranean life, it is one of the most popular places to learn Spanish.

Ask NGGlobal about other language schools in Málaga.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short course combined with travel, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6 months or more for a certificate such as DELE B2.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. In summer, junior programs fill the classes and accommodation books up early, while spring and autumn are good for both weather and prices.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days and a student visa for longer programs. Which language programs qualify for a long-stay student visa can change with new regulations, so check current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
Students in Spain on a Schengen visa for a language course cannot work. For long-stay student visa holders, work rights depend on the type of program and are limited to set hours.
Homestay is the most common option in Málaga; living with a Spanish family is ideal for getting to know the language and food culture up close.
Living costs in Málaga are around the Spanish average, with rent lower than in Madrid or Barcelona.
Buses serve Málaga, and the historic centre is easy to walk. Trains and coaches make other cities easy to reach.
Málaga has a warm Mediterranean climate, with very hot, dry summers and mild, sunny winters.
Málaga Airport (AGP) is reached from Turkey with direct or connecting flights, and the train from the airport to the centre takes about 15 minutes.
