About the local hosting organization

Linguaschools, network of Spanish language schools Linguaschools is a boutique Spanish language school network for adult learners, with schools in Spain and Latin America. Our schools combine the reliability of an established network with the personal atmosphere of smaller, familiar schools. You can study Spanish from one week to several months, with intensive courses, long-term study options, accommodation and cultural activities throughout the year. Each destination has its own local character, but all Linguaschools schools share the same idea: high-quality Spanish courses, personal guidance and real cultural immersion.

Presentation of the programme

Our Spanish school in Montañita From Linguaschools Montañita there’s a dreamy view. The school is perched on a hill behind the town, with stunning views onto the coastline and waves. Like Montañita itself the school is very relaxed. That’s a combination of the beautiful location, encouraging teachers, and the slow-world ambiance found in this part of Latin America. The enormous roof terrace is good for self study and socialising with a view. We’ve found that having a school on the edge of town is very beneficial. You have lots of space and silence here, yet are still within walking distance of the town centre and beach. Most lessons take place in the morning, leaving you with an afternoon of surfing, beach time, salsa, scuba, and everything else you must try in Montañita. CLASSROOMS 10 classrooms (4 in the open air) ACCREDITATIONS recognised by Ecuador Ministry of Education, SETEC accreditation, Bildungsurlaub LOCATION 5 minutes walking from the beach STUDENT AREAS garden and a rooftop terrace with ocean view OTHER FACILITIES Wi-Fi, cafeteria, free coffee/teaSpanish courses in Montañita Spanish courses at Linguaschools Montañita are designed around your ability.

About the location

Montañita, Ecuador An idyllic beach town on the Pacific, Montanita is all about kicking back while learning Spanish. Montanita is as laid-back as it comes in Latin America. Everything starts with the beach, where palm trees sway and small shacks serve up ice-cold drinks. Sink your feet into the cooling sand and watch the surfers play. Surfing lessons and board rental are easy to arrange. Or you could sit back on a sun-lounger while sipping on a cocktail. Yes, it’s one of those kind of places, where you want to do nothing (other than learning Spanish of course!) But peel yourself from the beach and there’s excitement to be had. Shack bars crowd the narrow streets, giving off a feast of colour and choice. You’ll quickly find your favourites and get to know the people there – which means more chance to practice your Spanish. While there’s not that much to see in Montanita itself, the surrounding waters offer excellent options, both for day trips and after your Spanish course. For example, in nearby Machalilla National Park you’ll find islands, beaches, tranquility, and wildlife to rival the Galapagos.

About the leisure activities

Activities There’s more to Montañita than the surf… The surfing is famous and we’re certain you’re going to love trying it. Our cultural activity program is more wide-ranging, an opportunity to speak Spanish in everyday life while making friends with locals and students. Think salsa dancing, cooking workshops, yoga, and guided excursions to national parks and islands. Weekday activities are cheap or free, so everyone can participate.
