Expanish Málaga — language school in Spain

Expanish offers a Spanish immersion summer camp program for young people in sunny Málaga, a beautiful Mediterranean city, located in the south of Spain, in the region of Andalusia. Medium-sized, it surprises with its culture and history, its beaches, the friendliness of its people, and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The program includes Spanish language classes, activities, excursions, and housing. All this makes it a perfect destination for teenage students.
