There are lots of Spanish/English conversation groups in and near M谩laga.
If you want an invitation to join an international group, please let me know. Once you have the invitation, accept it then log into the site, and you'll receive emails about the monthly meetings, held on different nights in various bars in the centre of M谩laga, which are sometimes very interesting 聳 41 people and 17 nationalities at a recent meeting, although most people speak Spanish and/or English. Look for the M谩laga meeting and register if you're going to attend. If the meeting is in a restaurant, you don't have to eat. I don't, because I'm a vegetarian. Don't put too much personal information when you register 聳 name, nationality, maybe countries where you've lived and/or languages you speak 聳 although a photo would be a good idea. There are also meetings in Marbella, but I've never been to any of them.
Tuesdays in the Bar Costello, C /Granada, 33, there's a conversation group from 9 pm until late. If I'm not there ask for Paco, who runs the group. There's a special offer of una ca帽a of Cruzcampo at a reduced price of 聙1 for members of the group, but the bar staff don't always know about it. I really like this group.
Wednesdays & Fridays at C/Cobertizo del Conde, 2, two streets behind el Mercado de la Merced, just off la Plaza de la Merced, there's a conversation group, supposedly from 8 pm, but between 9.30 and 10 pm would be a better time to arrive. This is semi-hippie, run by an America guy called Brian, so don't be put off by the appearance of the place when you enter, which has an okupa look about it. There are some interesting people there, at least on Fridays. You can buy a can of lousy beer or a soft drink for 聙1, and I once had some vegetarian couscous for 聙2, which wasn't bad. One Friday I went later on with a group of people from there to the Open Mic night at the Onda Pasadena music bar.
Thursdays in el Caf茅 Viajero, in un callej贸n opposite el Cine Alb茅niz, there's a conversation group from about 9.30 pm (definitely not before). I've only been twice, but I intend to go again.
Fridays in the Hotel Monte M谩laga there's a conversation group from 7 pm, m谩s o menos, till about 9 pm, and afterwards sometimes a group of us goes somewhere else. There are usually 10 or 12 people, but not many native-English speakers, so if you are, or you speak good English, please come.
Tuesdays & Thursdays in Arroyo de la Miel, from about 11 am to 1 or 2 pm, there's a conversation group run by the ayuntamiento at the Centro de Mayores, in the Plaza de la Mezquita, a five-minute walk from the Arroyo-Benalm谩dena train station. This is very good, with quite a lot of people, sometimes 30 or 40 聳 a mixture of Spanish- and English-speakers 聳 at various tables, outside if the weather is good, or if not in the cafeter铆a. Here we need more native-Spanish speakers. Some tables have classes, others speak for 30 minutes or an hour in Spanish, then change to English. Others don't have any rules. I prefer the latter. You can change tables if you want.
