The Alhambra is around a 35-minute walk from the school.

Student comments about "Intensive 20" at Escuela Montalbán
Eberhard Friedrich Robert 5.0
"Perfect organisation, suited my needs exactly."
Georg 5.0
"I was put in A2 course. I don't think I was ready but it was still a good experience."
Nobuko 4.0
"I studied at this school for two weeks, and the first week, there were very few students and I ended up with taking one to one lesson with one of the professors, Paco. It was the first time that I took such a lesson, and his way of teaching is very practical, creative, and a lot of fun! I really appreciate it."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. 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.

I was warmly welcomed at the school and immediately provided with all the information I needed, both verbally and in writing. The lesson times were ideal for me, as was the organisation of the lessons. Our two teachers, Pablo and Fransisco, were committed, extremely competent and very empathetic - I was more than impressed. If I were ever to attend a language course again, this school would be my absolute first choice. Everything was just right here - the organisation, the composition of the learning group, the provision of teaching materials and, above all, our teachers. Respect and many thanks for that.
Insider tip: Depending on your interests, you should take as many activities with you as possible.

The thing that I liked most about the school is that they managed to make learning Spanish fun. Normally during my classes in University the classes seem to take forever. But in Escuela Montalban time passes like no other. This is definitely because of the teachers the school employs. All teachers keep you engaged throughout the entire class with fun games, constantly asking questions, fun current topics to talk about.
Insider tip: I would definitely recommend that you stay for a minimum period of 4 weeks so that you can really feel at home in the Spanish culture. Trust me, if you decide to take a language course here you will not be disappointed.
Details of the review
Other comments Besides the awesome teachers Escuela Montalban has, they also make sure that you experience Spanish culture to the fullest. They plan cultural activities every day and on weekends they even offer scuba diving, hiking in the Alpujarras, and a weekend in Morocco. I cannot wait to go back!

The school is not a large one so that the number of enrolled students can be very small at specific times of the year. The end of the August is such time. Even if there were some cultural or social activities planned, they were cancelled because there weren't enough students to carry out such activities. So those who are considering to study at this school should keep that in mind.
Insider tip: Flamenco shows in Alhambra and the cinema in the hill top in summer.
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I studied at this school for two weeks, and the first week, there were very few students and I ended up with taking one to one lesson with one of the professors, Paco. It was the first time that I took such a lesson, and his way of teaching is very practical, creative, and a lot of fun! I really appreciate it.
Other comments The atmosphere of the school is really relaxed yet professional. The staff are sympathetic and keep a comfortable distance from their clients.

I particularly liked the humor and ease with which the teachers approached the lessons. This immediately created a relaxed, positive and extremely funny learning atmosphere in our group. The focus was on the conversation, but there were plenty of suggestions through various exercises and games. Grammar and vocabulary were then incorporated rather incidentally.
Insider tip: You should definitely not miss the wonderful flamenco evening! And if you are looking to connect, you should definitely join the leisure activities.
Details of the review
Other comments The school is small and neat, with a beautiful inner courtyard. In the immediate vicinity there are a churreria and various tapas bars, as well as smaller hotels. The private accommodation may be appropriate for schoolkids and students, otherwise I would definitely recommend looking for the accommodation yourself.

All the teachers I met were very kind and friendly, accurate and experienced while teaching at the same time. They managed to smoothly coordinate the group of members with diverse age, nationality and personality. The lessons were exciting, not only had my language skills been developed but my knowledge about the country, the culture, and the people too.

I found the concept of being taught by several teachers to be very good, as it enabled me to get to know different ways of speaking. The teachers were very nice and we really had fun in the group during the week.

The people that work there, including the manager, his secretary, and all the teachers are extremely friendly, fun, warm, and knowledgeable. I had reserved for one week, then extended it to two weeks, and then the day before leaving reserved for a third week, I was enjoying myself so much. The apartment that we were assigned to was very big and had everything we could need, and we made friends and had a lot of fun while living there.

Hiking with Paco was excellent. Staff were friendly.
Insider tip: The walks are not suitable for beginners, unless they are with school staff (I felt very uncomfortable on my first walk because the guide did not know how to relate to someone who spoke very little Spanish).

Nobuko
Accommodation: 4.0

Room: 3.0
"I encountered one big cockroach! It is Spain, so it cannot be helped probably, but I got scared and had to wait in the bathroom until it disappeared from the hallway. The apartment itself was good, including the weekly cleaning by the cleaning ladies, but spraying or some other device to get rid of cockroaches should be done regularly."
