English courses in Alicante: The international language taught in Spanish sunshine
Learn English in a city that earns its reputation. Alicante's castillo looms over terracotta rooftops, the Explanada stretches down to the bluest water you've seen outside a postcard, and the locals treat every evening like an occasion worth celebrating. Study in the morning, live the rest of the day.
But what makes it a good spot to learn English? Well, foreigners make up over 27% of the population, and you’ll find that English is often used as the “common language” to communicate. This international environment makes it one of the best and most welcoming spots to learn English under the Mediterranean sun.
Sun, sea and "turrón". If you are a sweet tooth, this is your place!

Mornings in the Mercado Central haggling over oranges, afternoons lost in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, a boat out to Tabarca island before the week is done. Every conversation is a lesson you didn't see coming.
