Spain and Andalusia
A MELTING POT IN SOUTHERN EUROPE
Spain is a Mediterranean country and a member of the European Union. It is a democratic State that respects human
rights and is closely linked to Europe, Latin America and the North of Africa. Spain, with a population of 47 million people
and an area of 500,000 square kilometres, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, because of its
climate and its natural, historical and gastronomic heritage.

THE EMPIRE OF THE SENSES
The University of Malaga is in Andalusia, the southernmost region in Spain. Cradle of the Roman Empire, vestige of
the most sophisticated Islamic architecture, port of departure of seafarers and explorers, inspiration and destination of
romantic writers and artists, heart of Flamenco, spring of olive oil…your senses will reveal you the countless secrets
hidden in every corner of Andalusia.

01
The city of Malaga
THE BLUEST SKY IN EUROPE
The University of Malaga is located in the capital of the
Costa del Sol. Malaga was Picasso’s home town and has
a population of around 500,000 people. It is located in the
Eastern coast of Andalusia and is easily accessible by
different means of transport: high-speed train, seaport, a
renewed freeways network and the (AGP) Malaga Airport
(AGP) -Spain’s third airport in terms of air traffic-, which
takes travellers to Madrid in 45 minutes and to London
or Paris in 2 hours and a half. Besides, moving around
the city is very easy because of the cycle lane and the
public transport network, which combines buses and
underground.
Enjoy the warm climate and the daytime and
night activities even in the winter
LIFESTYLE
Malaga is well-known for its great quality of life and the beauty of its beaches. The “malagueños”, or the people from
Malaga, are outgoing, tolerant and welcoming. They enjoy the warm climate and bright days of their city -the sunniest
in Europe-, as well as its daytime and night activities, even in the winter. It is a safe city with excellent public health
services and a marked international profile, due to the large British, German, Russian, Dutch and Finnish communities
that have chosen Malaga as their place of residence. In addition, living in Malaga is cheap in comparison with most
European cities.
HISTORY AND CULTURE
Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs have settled in Malaga throughout history. The city has inherited a wonderful legacy
from these communities, such as the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro fortresses. The cultural activities
offered by the city include the Picasso Museum, the Museo Carmen Thyssen, the Museo de Malaga, the Malaga
Contemporary Art Centre, the Festival of Spanish Cinema and many other options to enjoy theatre and musical
performances.

I have been here for seven months now and I really
enjoy living in Malaga. The culture and the people are so
different from my own country and I have had a great time
getting to know Spain. I decided to learn Spanish because
of its growing importance in the world and as we all have
experienced, not everyone in this world are as easy to
understand in English. So my advice is… come to Spain!,

I’m really impressed by the way they execute the manner
of teaching and aids for learning like books and materials.
They are straight forward and direct to the point, as
a learner of another language it’s very difficult to study
languages as an adult but their ways make it easier. I like
the teachers as they are very helpful and will do their best
to help you to understand the lessons; in total it’s a very
nice experience. You meet different kinds of people and
cultures… I enjoyed my stay so much and it will be very
helpful for me to pursue a career here in Spain.
