What students say about the course
The classes were engaging, and Sarah made it easy to build confidence.
She is so creative in her teaching methods that learning never felt overly difficult or boring.
Also, learning in Muxia, (a beautiful coastal town) added so much – as did practicing Spanish in real-life settings. Highly recommend!

Muxía
Have you ever wondered what living in a small town by the Atlantic Ocean feels like? Welcome to Muxía, Galicia, a place I’ve called home for the last 5 years. Located near Finisterre, Muxía is surrounded by forests and the sea.
It has long been considered as the end of the world and, even today, it is a secluded area. It’s the perfect location to enjoy nature, tranquility and good food.
If you enjoy walking, you will find plenty of trails to small beaches, charming villages and peaceful forests.
This small, charming town is where we live and we want to share our love for it with you. Located at the end of the Camino, it’s the perfect location to rest, relax and enjoy. If you fancy hikes, sunsets and the sea, this is your place.
Hikes. You will find plenty of trails to small beaches, lovely villages and peaceful forests. The most popular hike is, of course, the Camino de Santiago. But there are many others to enjoy such as the Lightouse trail which connects ancient and modern lighthouses through the coast.
Sunsets. We are right by the western-most point of Europe, the last land where the sun kisses the Earth during summer… An experience you cannot miss!
The sea. Muxia’s history is closely related to the sea. The coast is wild and untamed to this day. In fact, it is known as Costa da Morte (Death’s coast) due to the high number of shipwrecks which have taken place here.
But that’s not all! The region offer a wide range of natural wonders such as waterfalls, capes, beaches and forests to discover.
