Granada |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
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 Weather |
|
|
|
 |
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). |

|
| |
|
Spanish
Tutorials
Deepen your learning experience with two weekly
grammar and “real-life” tutorials. Designed
to improve everyday communication as well as to
deal with the more complicated aspects of the Spanish
language, these courses are offered at two levels
to satisfy both beginner and advanced students. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Sacromonte
The Sacromonte Abbey was built over old mine workings
used during the Roman Empire. The abbey preserves
the relics of Saint Cecilio and eleven other saints
as well as serving as the focal-point for the February
1st celebration of San Cecilio’s fiesta. Currently,
the caves in the hillside are famous for flamenco
dancing and act as the center of Gitano (gypsy)
culture. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Alhambra
Don’t miss the chance to see the world-famous
Alhambra. Once you pass through the sun-dried bricks
of the outer wall, you’ll view the stalactite
vaulting, the room where Christopher Columbus’
journey to the New World was granted, and the amazing
fountains. This UNESCO world heritage site is one
of Granada’s prized attractions. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|

|
Cartuja
Monastery
This monastery was founded in 1804 and houses both
monks and nuns. There is a museum located next door
and a liquor distillery as well. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Ronda
Perched on a plateau atop a winding mountain road,
the city of Ronda is one of Andalusia’s most
charming towns. Ronda is famous for its plummeting
river gorge, El Tajo, which splits the town in two.
A stone bridge spanning the gap connects the historic
to the modern parts of town, and visitors can look
down to see the River Guadalevín below. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Sevilla
The capital of Andalusia, Sevilla is considered
to be one of the most beautiful, traditional, and
historic cities in all of Spain. It is home to the
Cathedral (one of Christianity’s largest),
La Giralda (an ancient bell tower) and the Moorish
Alcázar Palace.
For all
its important monuments and fascinating history,
Sevilla is probably most famous for its character—festive,
romantic, colorful, and lively. |
|
|
|
| |
The classically
Spanish traditions of flamenco dancing and bullfighting
have no better home than sunny Sevilla. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Córdoba
Once the largest city of Roman Spain, Córdoba
later served as the heart of the western Islamic
empire. This city is home to some of the most famous
Spanish architecture like the Mezquita, the ancient
Moorish mosque and the Alcazar, from the Christian
era. Now Córdoba is a typical bustling Andalusian
city, with lots of atmosphere, fascinating sites,
small streets, and unique shops. |
|
|
|
| |
There
is also a fabulous choice of restaurants and bars.
Places to visit are The Mosque, one of the most
popular monuments in the region, the city walls
that once bounded the old Jewish quarter, and the
Alcazar, which consists of walled gardens with beautiful
water terraces and fountains. |

Las
Alpujarras
Las Alpujarras are a group of about fifty villages
clinging to the southern side of the Sierra Nevada.
Formed by escaped Muslims who refused to convert
during the Reconquest, the historical intrigue of
this remote area is only rivaled by its beauty.
The mountainous terrain includes abundant farmlands
and small villages with traditional gray box houses
and old clay roofs. |
|
|
|
| |
Famous
in Spain for the contrast of lush, green vegetation
against the dry foothills of Granada below, Las
Alpujarras attracts hiking enthusiasts who want
to experience the natural side of Andalusia. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Costa
Tropical
Granada’s coastline was recently named Costa
Tropical. With a hilly shoreline giving way to sandy
coves, this area features the spectacular contrast
of ocean and mountains. Costa Tropical’s unique
landscape is a relatively well-kept secret. The
whitewashed houses and narrow, windy roads of the
coastal towns and fishing villages preserve the
area’s natural charm. |
|
| Tourists
who do make the trip to Costa Tropical will understand
why locals keep this quaint area to themselves. |

Morocco
After seeing the ancient Moorish influences in Granada,
why not head to modern Arab society? The school
organizes one international excursion each month
across the Strait of Gibraltar for all those interested
in the history, charm, and intrigue of this exotic
North African nation. |

| "I arrived
in Spain only with a handful of words and a desire to
be able to communicate well in Spanish. The teachers at
this school have made the learning process great fun and
an unforgettable experience. My fellow students have enriched
that experience too and I will take away many happy memories
of my time in Granada." |

thanks to an enthusiastic team of professors…

Spain is an excellent opportunity to get to know the country
and its customs. You can also get to know people from
