Hi,
I'm planning a last minute trip to Malaga in June to take a 2 week Spanish course combined with another week of vacation. Does anyone have opinions/experience with Malaga and/or the following schools:
Malaca Instituto - the most expensive
Acacias
Malaga Plus

Also, a friend and I plan to visit Sevilla and Granada after my course. Which town should we stay overnight in? Which can be done in a day? How is the bus ride from Malaga to those towns? Any inexpensive/moderate hotel recommendations?

Thank you in advance!

No replies huh?
Ok, how about Barcelona hotel help? Under 60euros for a room in Barri Gotic - Any ideas?
Thanks!

I can't help you with any of the schools you've named, but I (and probably a number of other Fodorites) can strongly recommend don Quijote and Mester language schools (and I think both have branches in Malaga, Sevilla and Granada). I went to Mester in Salamanca, and don Quijote in Barcelona and Madrid.

My borther lives in Malaga right now. He loves it. If you would like I can put you in touch with him. HE has email but it is easier to call him. I think he will be returning to the states in June and then heading back out there. Send me an email and I will get you his information. (Need to forewarn him) my email is [email protected]

sorry i can't help much, i did a two week course in sevilla. and never got to malaga or granada. but i would totally recommend staying overnight in sevilla. great city with lots to do. which ever school you choose they should be able to help you figure out bus and train schedules. and sorry i don't have hotel suggestions. i'll be in seville the first few days of june and am staying at hotel amadeus referred from posts here but have no first hand experience yet. good luck!
