Our school is located in Arcos de la Frontera, at the very heart of Andalucia. Arcos is a strategic milestone of our geography as all the richness and variety of our region is available to us. The golden coastline of Cádiz, together with our ‘sierras’ are only a little drive away.

Being on top of a rock and completely whitewashed, make it a tourist spot for

people seeking the Andalusian spirit.
