Language school Expanish has announced a new Spanish language school that will open in Malaga this April.

The location will be the provider’s fifth in four locations across Spain and Argentina.

“We’re really excited to open our fifth language school in one of the most dynamic and fashionable cities in Southern Spain,” Expanish director and co-founder Agustin Vignale said.

“From top-class museums to traditional Andalusian culture and fantastic Mediterranean beaches, the city has so much to offer study abroad students. We can’t wait to make Malaga the newest destination for our growing network of boutique language schools.”

The school – located at the heart of the historic city – will, like Expanish’s other locations, offer immersive Spanish courses, this time providing unique opportunities to discover Malaga’s cultural and leisure activities.

The provider has two centres in Barcelona – a “regular” school for students from 16-29 and a 30+ school for those over 30 years – in addition to locations in Madrid, Valencia and Buenos Aires in Argentina.

The new centre will also cater to young learners, aged 13-17, with two and four-week summer camps.

“Our students will be able to dive into traditional Andalusian culture with our truly immersive Spanish courses in Malaga,” Vignale added.

“Our team on the ground is working hard to ensure we’re ready to offer students a memorable language-learning experience on the Costa del Sol from 2023.”

The popularity of Malaga has increased drastically in the past few years – both as a destination to live as well as study, Expanish’s Murphy Scott continued.

“Due to the quality of life and cost, it is ‘booming’ in a sense with large companies like Google and Accenture opening offices there,” he told The PIE.

“Expanish also wanted to expand to a medium-sized city in order to offer a variety of study experiences of destinations in Spain. With Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga, we can offer both big cities and smaller beach destinations.”

“We also want to capture the local expat market”

With some of Europe’s “best year-round weather”, the centre will prove popular both among juniors as well as seniors, he indicated.

“We also want to capture the local expat market, which is why we offer an evening group course. With all the large companies opening offices and an increase in digital nomads choosing southern Spain to live, it is a large market for our schools and our part-time courses have become one of our most popular products,” Scott said.

“It is also a popular destination for summer groups given it is a smaller city than Barcelona and Madrid. We have some great packages for ministays and plan on receiving various groups this summer.”
