The
well-known youth residence is situated in the high part of the
traditional Andalusian city of Marbella, considered one of the
most popular and well-loved Mediterranean resorts in Europe. Here,
the native Spanish population welcomes a large number of multi-cultural
visitors every summer. Visitors and natives mix and can’t
help falling in love with the semi-tropical weather, the relaxing
atmosphere, the easy pace of living, the fabulous shops and of
course, the beach! Located a mere 5 minute walk from our youth
residence, the traditional quarter features small white streets
with buildings that conserve regional character accented by colorful
flowers, potted plants and quaint plazas. Day and night, our students
form a part of Marbella´s bright and lively life, where
people are always enjoying this urban quarter, whether they are
shopping, chatting, working, taking coffee in the sunny terraces
or merely enjoying beautiful views of the Mediterranean. In addition
to all of this, our conveniently located residence offers students
the beach, only 10 minutes away!
Situated
in a safe neighborhood and surrounded by a fence, our youth residence
and Enforex counselors provide students with extra security and
comfort 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The complex includes
a ground floor where there is a 24-hour reception desk, snack
and refreshment machines, telephone booth, dining room, TV and
video room, one conference room with capacity for 20 people, one
for 30 and another for 60 people. Outside there is a large swimming
pool, 3 multi-use sports fields, tennis courts, big green gardens
and an outdoor terrace.
Students will receive a total of 20 Spanish lessons
per week divided into four lessons per day from Monday to Friday.
Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Might there be a trip/special activity
planned during a weekday, classes for that day will be given on
the weekend. At the end of the program, and upon its successful
completion, students will be given a certificate and a progress
report.
