What students say

We (me and my husband) did a course for over 55s. What amazing fun it was. 6 nationalities in our group and we got to know the culture and cuisine of Malaga. Excellent programme of activities!

The class was focused on conversational language and the culture and food we got to see and try. Everyone had more or less the same level so that was great too.
