Entrelenguas was founded in July 2014 by a group of local young entrepreneurs who decided it was time to come back home and make their project a reality. “We are three friends who reunited in Ronda after some years living abroad [United States, France, England, Germany] and gaining valuable professional experience in the field we are now working in” – says Javier Criado, one of the founders of the School. The goal of this language school is clear: enable people enjoy the Spanish language and culture by respecting and maintaining the social, environmental and cultural values of Ronda and all the cities the students visit. “We collaborate with small, local businesses to develop different activities and workshops: hiking, gardening, community service, flamenco… With all our activities, we ensure our students obtain an authentic experience in Ronda and a closer understanding of Spanish traditions and culture” – says Alejandro Montesinos, the Tourism Manager of Entrelenguas. The communityis one of the main pillars of the daily activity of the School, which is why they also organize conferences, exhibitions and other events that contribute to the sustainable development of the Serranía.

However, they are all focused on the same objective: to help students express themselves successfully in the many different scenarios they will encounter. As such, our courses follow a communicative that allows the student to adjust to any social context” – says Mar, the Academic Director of the School.
