The school is at the very centre of the fishermen's town of Barbate, which is full of tradition and history, nestled between the towns of Conil, Vejer de la Frontera and Tarifa. Because of this, the area is renowned for its environment and has a vast stretch of beautiful beaches, many cliffs, and pine forests nearby.

Surrounding the school there are several local eateries, supermarkets and shops, whilst the beach is only a 14-minute walk away.
Course selection: Academia Barbate offers a range of Spanish courses suitable for students of all levels. In addition to General Spanish, taught over various schedules and intensities, immersive junior programmes are available during the summer months, and private tuition is available all year round. The school also supplies tuition for learning several other languages, including English, French, German, Italian and Polish.
Social and Cultural: Academia Barbate offers daily cultural activities, including hiking through the national parks, beach sports, flamenco, visits to historical landmarks and popular points of interest in and around the city, Spanish gastronomy and more. The school also regularly arranges language exchanges amongst students, offering a fantastic opportunity to get to know others and learn about different cultures.

In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Academia Barbate
“At Aenfis Barbate, we start the experience of having previously worked in other different schools, joining and improving them now in our own school. It is very important for us that students feel at home in a close and familiar environment Furthermore, our excellent location and the scarce tourist exploitation of the area, keeps the authenticity that will allow our students a complete immersion in Spanish language and culture. The opinions of their satisfied students support our native teachers, both qualified and with years of experience in the sector. As if this were not enough, we also help you find a native family to live with during your stay in Barbate if you wish. For this, or for any other desire, just let us know and we will help you to achieve it.”–María Tibisay Cózar Cabañas,Director of Academia Barbate
