Homestay accommodation in Málaga – Casa de Blanca Paloma

Growing up... away from home

Learn Spanish by staying with a family

Young people have the ability to settle into and adapt to a new family. Although everything may seem different at first and they may feel homesick, they always have the support of their host family and mentor to help them through the transition.

Adapting and maturing

Support and Follow-up

With you every step of the way towards your future. We look after your safety and well-being.

School Management

As the legal guardian of Spanish-speaking students, I handle the process of enrolling them in state or private secondary schools. Applications are subject to approval by the Department for Education. During the school year: monitoring, tutoring and authorisations.

Emotional and Psychosocial support

I act as a guide or support for the students, explaining how life works here and local or social customs. The teenager will have to cope with a range of emotions whilst being away from their family of origin. Communication and the love of the host family are fundamental to the adjustment process.

Legal Protection and Welfare

Our priority is the peace of mind of EVERYONE, which is why we offer a framework of legal protection and welfare that ranges from managing legal guardianship for minors to providing advice on residency procedures and ensuring strict compliance with all current safety regulations in Spain.

Fundamental Rights and Health

Protection of your fundamental rights and support with decisions regarding your health. Support in medical emergencies, if necessary. Assistance with immigration procedures and guidance on your rights as an international student.

Guidance for Independence

Providing tools for everyday life, from learning how to use public transport to developing self-confidence and social skills that help them integrate into society.
