 This is a fantastic place for an international activity holiday based on language and culture.
With 40 years’ experience, Malaca Instituto is one of the longest established Spanish language schools and has an enviable reputation within the language school sector.
Our older clients, many of whom choose to join Master Class, appreciate our programme for the following specific reasons:
- The first 3rd Age programme: we were the first school in Spain to offer a dedicated programme for the 50+ age group, really attending to your needs and taking into account your interests and worries. The first programme was around 15 years ago and since then we have had around 3000 clients on Master Class, gaining invaluable and unequalled experience.
- Mini-campus – everything on-site (accommodation included!): our experience indicates that this is crucial for your age group who frequently would not feel comfortable living in someone else’s home and above all appreciate security, convenience, ease of access and comfort:
- 102 bedrooms: single, twin, triple and Executive, all with en-suite facilities
- direct dial telephones in the bedrooms for constant contact with home and our staff
- 24-hour-staffed reception: provides security and constant support and therefore promotes confidence in the environment.
- 25 classrooms all with audio/visual facilities
- restaurant, bar, cinema, dance studio
- swimming pool
- mini-gym
- lounge with wide-screen TV and feature films
- 3 terraces (room for everyone to find their own space)
Master Class textbooks: we have produced 4 levels of special textbooks for the Master Class programme. The focus is different from the textbooks we use for our general courses. We concentrate on developing communication skills in a series of specific areas drawn from daily life, rather than teaching the complete language. It is most unusual to have a range of textbooks for a specific course of this type and is very much appreciated by our clients.
 Special Activity programme: as Malaca Instituto has several employees working all year in the activities department we are unusually well-resourced to provide a totally separate activities programme for the Master Class clients. We organise events and mini-excursions that we know from experience are of interest to this age group: museum visits, walking in the mountains, cookery classes, visits to the market etc.
- Total Quality: Malaca Instituto has an average ratio of 1 staff member for every 3 students. We have 5 Director-level staff. This is extremely unusual and helps us in our aim towards total quality. You will feel extremely well-looked after.
- Quality guarantees: the inspections by EAQUALS, IALC, Instituto Cervantes and the University of Alcala (CEELE) are your guarantee of our high standards and that we do what we say in our publicity literature.
- The City of Malaga: the dramatic changes that have occurred in Malaga over the last few years have all helped to make it an even more attractive proposition to the 50+ age group:
- Pedestrianisation of the historic centre: traffic is now banned from many of the main streets and winding alleys of the historic centre. Dozens of underground car parks have taken most of the cars out of sight.
- City of Culture: the Picasso gallery, the CAC (contemporary art), Malaga Film Festival, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Alcazaba etc. Hardly surprising it is a candidate for European Capìtal of Culture 2016.
- Tapas bars: Malaga has thousands of bars, many providing delicious tapas. Great for an evening stroll with like-minded friends.
- and much, much more.......!
