A great Location
 

The southern coast of Spain is divided into two by the straights of Gibraltar. The eastern side, the Costa del Sol, is well known for its high density of foreigners - both tourists and residents - where Spanish is rarely heard. The western side however is authentically Spanish and our historic town of El Puerto de Santa Maria is no exception. The majority of tourists who come here are nationals and they come looking for traditional Andalusian food and culture.

Our school, Instituto Internacional de Idiomas is located in the heart of all this, on the main pedestrian street and is surrounded by traditional bars, restaurants and locally owned shops. There is no question that you are in an authentic part of Spain.

Despite being tucked away we are very well connected by boat, train and road with very easy access to other parts of Spain, Morocco and Portugal.

Fun & Discovery
 

What better place to study - our town is located in a beautiful setting and offers fun outdoor activities with local culture and beautiful weather. El Puerto de Santa Maria is located in an area known as "Costa de la Luz" which translates as The Coast of Light With an average of 300 days of sun per year, and temperatures that rarely drop below 18 degrees even in winter, life here is lived in the open air. Throughout the day and well into the night, people congregate on the streets. The locals start and end their day late - only pausing for a long leisurely lunch and siesta - and coming out again at night for drinks and tapas.

There is something for every visitor throughout the year – with activities like sailing, windsurfing, horse riding, golfing for sports lovers and visits to traditional bodegas for wine and sherry lovers. Throughout the year, specific festivals take place, the highlights being Carnival (Cadiz) in February, Semana Santa in April, the week long flamenco feria in May, sailing regattas in summer, a three day rock festival in October - and many more. Life is lived to the full in this part of the world!
