Montanita Spanish School was nominated by Star Awards for an award of excellence for Spanish School worldwide 2009.

Montanita is a stunning beach destination in Ecuador on the west coast of South America. The town of Montanita itself is small, but it has made a huge name for itself amongst travellers and the alternative Ecuadorian crowd looking for great surf, beautiful beaches, fun and friendly people. The two main roads of Montanita are lively with outdoor cafes, cocktail bars and artisans. Montanita supplies Ecuador with some of the finest culinary treats and delights. Learning Spanish here means you can sample traditional fresh fish dishes such as Cerviche straight from the ocean. Other customary food such as Arepa bread and cholos (like corn-on-the-cob) are sold by local street venders and fresh-fruit part of the staple diet.

Primarily, Montanita is renowned for all activities to do with the ocean. The surf attracts most visitors to the town. World championship competitions are held on local beaches, but on another part of the beach the waves are small and steady; perfect for beginners. Locations flourishing with sea-life such as Isla Del Playa are close by and ideal for those who wish to snorkel or go scuba-diving. A few minutes away is Playa Fraila which is known as the most beautiful beach in Ecuador. So many tranquil beaches are close by for swimming, walking, horse riding and Pueta Lopez is well worth a visit as it famous for whale watching.

Cruises around the famous and spectacular Galapagos Islands can be arranged from Montanita Spanish School. These islands are a world heritage site and biological reserve which illustrate the diversity and curious adaptations animals can develop to adapt to an isolated group of island just for them. The island is a sanctuary for the animals that live there, their welfare is heavily protected so to visit is a real treat.  The trip is made even more special as Montanita Spanish School can offer you a 20% discount on a 1^st class multi-spot cruise.

Monatnita Spanish School is located just a couple of minutes walk away from Montanita and the beach. Classrooms are comfortable, open and often with view of the beach or the ocean whilst you learn. Accomodation, activities, local amenities and restaurants are all close. This leaves you ample time to work, rest and play.
