How do we work on Spanish during immersion?

Small groups
The Spanish language immersion program with hiking is designed for a maximum of 7 students, making it a unique and personalized experience. Small groups transform learning into a more comfortable and engaging experience, where you feel safe, build confidence, and enjoy the process in a supportive and welcoming environment.

All day in Spanish
We maintain our commitment to speaking only Spanish throughout the week, just as we do in our total immersion program at the teacher’s home. We will share breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, in addition to all the Spanish activities and hiking, creating hundreds of opportunities to continue practicing Spanish.
Two Spanish teachers
We are two qualified and experienced Spanish teachers, Estefanía and Elisabeth. We will accompany you throughout your Spanish and hiking trip in Málaga. There will always be a good time to resolve doubts, ask questions, and chat amicably, just as we do in our immersion program at Casa Agualivar.
