ImageGranada is a small, friendly city built up around the Alhambra Palace and the ancient Albaicín neighbourhood. Famous the world over for its beauty, history and architecture, its richness shines through everywhere you look, in copious legacies from its impressive Arab Christian past. This heritage, its light and contrast, has managed to captivate many poets, musicians and travellers from all corners of the globe.

Discovering Granada will be a true adventure, maybe for the narrow streets, or the treasures they conceal. To behold Granada has always been seen as a privilege, and there’s even a saying to prove it: “Dale limosna mujer, que no hay en la vida nada como la pena de ser ciego en Granada” (Spare him some change woman, there’s nothing worse than being a blind man in Granada).

ImageGranada is also a young, vibrant regional capital (65,000 of its 290,000-strong population are university students). It has a contemporary feel, exemplified by the Parque de las Ciencias open-air science museum. Students flood the streets and the rich cultural life gives Granada a unique feel. The university, built by Emperor Charles I of Spain (Charles V of Germany) and founded in 1528, was an extension of the ancient Madraza - the Islamic University created by Sultan Yusuf I several centuries earlier.

Ever since those days, the ancient streets of Granada have brimmed with joy and hope for the future. This powerful cocktail makes Granada an ideal place for the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

In addition, Granada’s tourism options ooze culture, fun and the inevitable gastronomic delights.A night out around the historic quarter to sample tapas (often served free to accompany a drink) is a delight for any palate. This is also an ideal spot for anyone looking to get back to nature or practice outdoor sports.

There are major international Jazz and Tango festivals, as well as the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza. And don’t forget you’re only 25 minutes away from the best ski slopes in Spain!

ImageThe Granada province is one in which studying Spanish and other languages is easy – an enriching experience and a lot of fun. Its wealth of cultural and leisure activities offer the university student a wide range of options within the province, encouraging participation in Spanish daily life, thus facilitating Spanish language learning.

Granada is a city that opens its doors to visitors, offering them everything they could imagine.
