Sprawling out from the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range
is the city of Granada. Geographically, it is a land of contrasts.
The city sits in a lush green valley set against snow-capped
mountain peaks, all less than two hours from the sunny beaches
of the Costa del Sol. This ideal position makes both ski trips
and visits to the Mediterranean convenient weekend excursions.
As impressive as the city's location are its historical roots.
Granada is rich in Arab culture, and evidence of its Moorish
past can be seen everywhere you look. Among its architectural
gems are the Alhambra, a fantastic palace perched on a mountain
overlooking the city, and the Albaicín (the old Arab
quarter) where ancient cobblestone streets wind past classic
whitewashed buildings. The third-largest university city in
Spain, Granada also offers plenty of modern and convenient social
options. The city is the ideal place for students who want to
learn Spanish in a place rich and diverse in geography, history,
architecture, and people.
Three Good Reasons
to Study Spanish in Granada
Granada is less than two hours
from the Costa del Sol and right at the foot of
the Sierra Nevada. That means that hiking, skiing,
and the beach are all day-trip options.
As the last Moorish capital in
the Iberian Peninsula, Granada has numerous sites
to experience the region's rich and diverse history—and
the school’s location in El Realejo puts you
within walking distance of many of them.
The city of Granada is close to
Sevilla, Cordoba, Almeria, and other fascinating
cities in Spain, which makes it easy to take a day
or weekend trip.
Granada’s weather fluctuates with
the seasons. From May to September it can get as high
as 90°F (32°C), and from October to March it can
get as low as 40°F (4°C). However, on average
the weather stays pleasantly in the 70°F’s (20°C’s).
