Instituto de Español Pablo Picasso

Instituto de Español Pablo Picasso teaches Spanish on Plaza de la Merced, the square where Pablo Picasso was born. The square gives the school a distinctive location for a language stay in Málaga.

Spanish courses

The main offering is the Intensive Spanish Course, with Extra Intensive options providing additional hours for accelerated study. Special courses offering 25 lessons per week and afternoon Spanish lessons cater to expat communities and working professionals. Private Spanish lessons are available for personalised study.

The campus

The Plaza de la Merced location is at the heart of Málaga's historic quarter, surrounded by tapas bars, museums, the Picasso Museum, and the Cathedral. Students studying here are immersed in the cultural life of the city from the first day. The nearby birthplace museum and the separate Picasso Museum offer two places to explore the artist’s connection with Málaga. Students can fit these visits around their lessons and use the Spanish they are studying to read exhibitions or take part in tours.
