I absolutely love this school. I did my A1 level Spanish 2 years ago and returned to complete my A2 which I am currently doing now. I have two professors, Pilar and Ana and they are both fantastic, as well as very different from each other. The course material is relevant and useful and I'm also enjoying the text book as well. I feel like I am learning a lot, and I really appreciate the pace the professors are using. Even though I am in the intensive course, and it is intense, it is often broken up with a fun activity or game where you are still learning but it feels like you are giving your brain a little break. There is a cafe in the school with a cheap menu of only 8 euros and the workers there are so impressive! It can get really busy but they move so fast to make sure that everyone gets their coffee before the class starts again. My only complaint would be that it can sometimes be very very warm in the larger class rooms, which can be a little distracting when you are trying to learn, but this is Spain! The elevator is also extremely busy in the morning because all the classes start at the same time, but arriving just 10 minutes early and you should have no problems.
