RBC English

RBC English is on Calle Virgen del Rocío, a few metres from the parish church of San Andrés, in the middle of the town. It is one of the two schools here holding a perfect 5.0, in its case over 61 reviews.

What the local demand for English tells you about the town

Seven language schools in a town of twenty thousand people is a lot, and it says something the tourist brochures do not. Families here invest in English because the local economy runs on visitors, and because the official certificates are needed for public sector work and university places.

For a foreign resident that has a practical side. It means there is a supply of bilingual young people in this town, which matters if you ever need help with an appointment, a form or a conversation you cannot manage. And it means the level of English in the shops and bars is noticeably better than a first walk down the promenade suggests.
