Can you recommend a language school?

My wife and I both speak Spanish but as mine is better and I'm a typical chap, I kind of do all the talking. For Annie to get some practice without me hogging the conversation, she wants to stay for a week or so in July without me and attend a language school in Granada or Malaga, probably the former. Does anybody have any recommendations? She is at an intemediate-to-good level but needs practice and confidence, and she'd like a bit of fun outside classes but doesn't really want to be surrounded by kids or retired people (she's in her late forties, but rarely acts it). Objective opinions would be welcome.
Another more general question; is there a professional association of Spanish language schools in Spain that imposes standards? Should we be looking for a school that's a member of such an organisation?

Have you checked out Las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas. For example :

Thats all very well, I have looked at this link and it is all in Spanish! I have absolutely no idea where to begin?

You could start by clicking on the button that says "Englsih".

Obviously I have done that, but all that translated page tells me is that March is the time to start. There are no details of where or how much or dates. I think this is not a good site for a beginner and rather intimidating much better to look at this site
http://www.euroestudios.com which is very clearly laid out. Also the word of the day site is very good
