Granada is a city of real contrasts. With its stunning location at the foot of the Sierra Nevada - snow-covered for much of the year - you can quickly forget it's only an hour the other way to the glistening Mediterranean. Home to the fascinating Alhambra - this magnificent Muslim palace sitting high above Granada is the stuff of picture postcards – with a splash of typically Andalucian white on the hillside opposite the former Arab quarter of the Albayzín, a maze of steep, narrow alleys. Meanwhile, the city centre is all colour, activity and flamenco ruffle.

Granada is a wonderful place for a school trip; it is a city of universal historical and religious importance, thanks to its archaeological remains, so you can run a cross curricular trip with your humanities department. The city centre is lively and safe and Malaga airport is close by meaning it’s easy to get there too.

The school is conveniently located in the centre of Granada, providing easy access to the main shopping areas, local attractions. The school is fully equipped with modern facilities, spacious classrooms, library, patio and air conditioning. The school owners have many years experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language in various institutes and countries, at all levels, and have worked with different nationalities from all over the world. The director has worked in several local secondary schools and has links with local teachers. This has enabled them to design their own courses to suit the needs of teenagers using modern teaching techniques. Their courses develop all the necessary language skills, yet, at the same time, make the classes fun and enjoyable.

"The course was great, intensive but inspiring. The quality of teaching very high and Ines, Christina and Adele were excellent. They complemented the programme with a great range of cultural activities which added much to the week. English was rarely spoken after the first day. Given the different starting points they had to cope with in class I doubt anyone could have done better."
