Highlight of my 2025
February 22, 2026by: Fardina Fuad - MalaysiaProgram: Full Spanish Immersion Homestay for Adults in Spain
I went to Agualivar course for two weeks in June last year, and it's been the highlight of my 2025. The entire program was so thoughtfully planned, our personal interests taken into account in lesson plans and cultural trips. They knew I love mixology and drinks (esp ceverzas) and they taught a class simply on this topic at a bar/chiringuito where I got to put my knowledge to practice. The house is breathtaking, almost unreal views on the daily and the surrounding township is everything you imagine south of Spain would be. The food that was made at home was absolutely divine - simple, high quality ingredients, and delicious. Epitome of Spanish home cooking <3 There was plenty of opportunity to speak, think and live in Spanish - and as someone learning the language, this was incredibly valuable. The conversations with the hosts and their family over mealtimes are some of my favorite memories. Estefanìa, Elizabeth, their mum and entire family + friends + partners are just the sweetest, friendliest, welcoming people. I am considering doing it for the second time, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you are thinking about it.
Equally fun and educational

I had such a wonderful experience at Agualivar. The teachers were warm, friendly, and skilled. The program is structured in a way that provides variation throughout the day and week. Accommodations were lovely and the food was delicious. And of course my Spanish was much improved after just one week! I had so much fun and would happily return in the future. I've recommended this program to friends at all levels of Spanish speaking.
Agualivar Spanish Immersion School - ¡Vale la pena!
October 17, 2025by: Jeannie Forney - United StatesProgram: Full Spanish Immersion Homestay for Adults in Spain
Mi experiencia en Agualivar Spanish Immersion School en Lagos, España, fue maravillosa. Desde el primer día me sentí acogida como parte de la familia. Las profesoras son extraordinarias: pacientes, alentadoras y profundamente comprometidas con el aprendizaje de cada estudiante. Las clases son divertidas y efectivas, y se aprende de manera natural conversando, cocinando y participando en la vida cotidiana. Las excursiones a lugares históricos de Andalucía fueron fascinantes y muy bien organizadas. La comida fue deliciosa y preparada con cariño, siempre en un ambiente relajado y lleno de risas. Agualivar no es solo una escuela, es una experiencia cultural auténtica y cercana. Me fui con español mucho mas fluido y recuerdos inolvidables. ¡La recomiendo sin dudarlo!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
At first I was inspired by the idea of ??working in a small Spanish school with a smaller number of students per week. In my experience as a student, I missed my family during an immersion program in Northern Ireland and I want students at our school to feel like they are part of the family.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
A trip to Lisbon! While I was working in another language academy I was attending a Master specialized in training projects for companies. One of the sessions took place in Lisbon. There, the students and I had the opportunity to visit some companies, among them one language academy. That visit inspired me and made me take another step forward. When I returned to Málaga I spoke with my sister who is my business partner too and we decided to start working together on this project. We both were working in Spanish schools but we knew we needed to do something by ourselves, with our concept and methodology and try to do our best. So we got started on this project right away!
