Learning Spanish in Malaga

With my university studies, I’ve had the opportunity to do a work placement and I decided to do it here, in Ronda, near Malaga, and more precisely in this Cultural Immersive Centre named Entrelenguas. I know that it’s not always easy to integrate into a new country when you don’t know the language so I wasn’t totally relaxed about spending 3 months in Andalusia and having difficulties in Spanish. However, thanks to my internship I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to have Spanish lessons twice a week, 3 hours a week and these have helped me a lot.

Let me tell you all about Learn Spanish in Malaga and my experience with the Spanish classes in entrelenguas:

First, I had to do a placement test. It’s ideal if you don’t want to find yourself in a group where you can’t understand anything, or the opposite, if you feel like you might waste your time. Thanks to the test I’m in a Spanish class that suits me: we work together and, as I don’t particularly like all the grammar…

Figures are telling us all: Spanish is the most trending language all over the world. Last year, more than 21 Million students studied Spanish as foreign language. More and more people decide to learn Spanish as a way of taking a turn in their professional career, changing their life or simply having a much better break from work in our country. And if you are thinking of learning Spanish in Spain, what would be a better place than Malaga!

In this post we want to share with the readers five reasons on why the Costa del Sol, in the province of Malaga, is the best place to learn Spanish:

  1. Climate: It is well known that Malaga and the Costa del Sol have an enviable climate. Its long hours of sun and average temperatures have made this region the preferred destination for Europeans, not only as a holiday destination but also a permanent residency. In fact, more than 15% of the total population of Malaga is foreign. Because of the characteristics of this climate, Spanish…

Malaga’s British Cemetery Gets Protected Status

The Anglican cemetery in Malaga is to be added to the Catálogo General del Patrimonio Histórico Andaluz, in English the general catalog of historic places, after the Andalucian Directorate General of Cultural Assets approved it’s inclusion as a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC), location of cultural interest.

St Georges cemetery is located on around 8,000 sqm of land close to Malaga’s Plaza de Toros on the eastern side of the port, and was originally founded by the British Consul to Malaga William Mark in 1830 in response to protestant burials on the seashore in the dead of night, a practice he found disgusting and lacking in dignity.

Within the grounds of the cemetery there is also an Anglican chapel built in 1839, and expanded in 1891 to become the existing church servicing Malaga’s Anglican communion. The gardens of the cemetery double as a botanic garden with several rare specimens of tree and shrub thriving.

Inclusion as a BIC on the general catalog is aimed at ensuring protection of the graves, structures, decorative walls, and of the gardens. As mainland Spain’s first protestant cemetery, it has been described in the general catalog as a monument of “outstanding historic and architectural significance”.

It is expected the cemetery will be formally included in the general catalog within the next 12-24 months, although the procedure for registration requires the church board begin the process of protecting the premises immediately after being notified of the decision to start registration.
