Yes. We are an official centre for DELE (all levels) and CCSE (Spanish nationality) exams. Registration for these exams and tests is done directly with the Instituto Cervantes.

Our mission is to offer complete immersion. We don't just teach grammar; we prepare students to live and feel Spanish culture, fostering intercultural understanding in a safe, dynamic, and very welcoming environment.

We offer immersion programmes for everyone: from camps for young people and school groups, to intensive courses for adults, programmes for those over 50, and training for teachers or residents.

Benalmádena is a safe and vibrant environment that allows students to move around with complete autonomy. Its strategic location makes excursions to the main Andalusian cities (Málaga, Granada, Seville, Córdoba) easy.

Because we are a leading school with over 45 years of experience and accredited by the Instituto Cervantes. Our approach is «artisanal»: we maintain a single centre in Benalmádena to ensure total control over the quality of teaching, activities, and accommodation.

A teaching team that makes a difference. At Maravillas you'll learn from native, qualified teachers who live and breathe teaching Spanish.

We organise a vibrant cultural programme: from cooking and dancing workshops at school to trips to the beach and excursions to Malaga, Granada or Seville.

Getting here is incredibly easy. Located in the heart of Arroyo de la Miel, you'll find the train station (Line C-1) just a stone's throw away, allowing for complete independent travel. Additionally, we offer direct private transfers from the airport to the school or your accommodation.

We personally select each family in Benalmadena. They are welcoming and experienced people who will treat you like one of their own, offering you a real linguistic immersion and delicious home-cooked food in a safe and family-friendly environment.

As well as our Intensive 20, we offer the Combined 25 (with 5 private classes) and the Executive 30 (with 10 private classes). These one-to-one afternoon sessions are perfect for working on specific language areas according to your particular needs.

Yes, we have been an official examination centre since 2014. We offer specialised two-week courses before the exam for levels A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1.

We have special courses for Seniors (+50) on selected dates. These programmes allow you to share learning and a wide variety of cultural and social activities with people your own age.

We offer a Residents' Course designed for foreigners living here who want to improve their daily communication. These are 4-week blocks with afternoon sessions (4 hours per week), ideal for learning without disrupting your work routine or life in Spain.
