Spanish Course Granada

learn Spanish in Granada - Introduction

The legend of Boabdil, the last king of the Moors of Granada, is still alive and well in Granada. After the Christians conquered the city in 1492, he was banished into exile. At a certain point from the city, he turned around to take one last look at his beloved Granada, sank his head and began to weep. In that moment he remembered his mother's words, "Do not cry as a woman for something that you were unable to defend as a man".

Anyone who has visited Granada at least once can understand Boabdil because the atmosphere of Granada is fantastic each and every day. Gypsies playing their guitars in the streets, young Americans pursuing the tracks of Ernest Hemingway, artists absorbed in their work, tourists everywhere, Spanish students on their way to the university and intellectuals in the cafes and numerous "tapas" bars can all be seen in one day.

Granada is a scenic city at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, a relic of a thousand and one nights. The warmest coast in Europe, the "Costa Tropical" can be reached within 45 minutes. The highest mountain of the Iberian Peninsula is also at an arm's distance. Granada, the cradle of the most diverse cultures, was always a beloved city. Romantic 19th century intellectuals lived here, as well as the ancient Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians and the Moors. Granada is certainly the city in Europe with the most evident traces of the Moor Empire. The majesty of the Alhambra palace dominates the city. The Albaicin, the gypsies' quarter, the Sacromonte with the rebuilt small pubs and Flamenco stages are all witness to a lively past.

Leisure Time and Excursions in and around Granada

In the beginning, you will be quite busy discovering Granada - Alhambra, Albaicin, Sacromonte, the cathedral and museums. You might be thinking to yourself “Too much culture, too much past?” Never mind, the nights in Andalusia that are long… try the "Ruta de tapas". In the south, the coastal villages of the "Costa Tropical" such as Salobreña or Almuñécar are famous for their white-painted houses, the steep lanes, the unusual Spanish-Arabian town planning and the unforgettable long beaches. The steep coast line with its sandy and rocky shores is also typical for this area.

You may also be attracted to the picturesque mountain villages (Alpujarras) of the Sierra Nevada, where the civilization was superseded by a time that still seems to be in the last century.

The Colegio organizes excursions to Seville, to the mountains or seaside, lectures, city sightseeing with explanations of the historical background, video evenings, Flamenco dance courses and many parties. Most of the parties will end up in the "Granada 10" or in "Camel"!
