Granada is the capital of the province of the same name, situated in the eastern part of the region of Andalusia. The land is characterized by a diverse geographical scenery. The city of Granada is located at the foot of the sierra Nevada mountains.
Apart from its beautiful surroundings, Granada is also famous for its beautiful buildings, for the best guitar builders, the old university and the extensive nightlife. The long history is noticeable in every street of the city.
In Granada there is a coastal area with a warm climate; an extensive, fertile Genil plain; and the mountainous regions with a colder climate, where we find the 3,481 meter Mulhacén, the biggest peak on the peninsula of Spain. The city of Granada is located at the foot of the sierra Nevada mountains at the confluences of the Darro and Genil rivers. Its unique history has bestowed it with an artistic grandeur embracing Moorish palaces and Christian Renaissance treasures. As the last Moorish capital on the Iberian peninsula, it also holds great symbolic value.
Granada Spanish School
Current temperature:
The Granada Spanish school occupies an entire five-storey building. The school is light and airy, with lots of windows and balconies overlooking the street. The atmosphere at the school is friendly and relaxed. Above all, the building is centrally heated and airconditioned — both indispensable features in Granada, where summer and winter temperatures can be extreme.
The school is located in a safe, quiet area in the city center, just a stone’s throw from the cathedral and within walking distance of the Alhambra, the Albaicín and the Conference Centre. Buses depart not far from the school almost every hour for Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean coast.
Besides, the Spanish school has facilities such as modern teaching aids such as computers and audio-visual equipment. The recreation room is on the lower level. Here, you can watch TV or a video, listen to music, read books or newspapers, play board games or darts, etc.
The beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol are less than an hour away. The city of Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which is great for hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter. The Alhambra - part-fortress, part-palace - and the old Moorish quarter of the Albaicín, both World Heritage Sites, cannot be missed. As the last Moorish capital in the Iberian Peninsula, you will find a lot of Moorish palaces and Christian Renaissance treasures. Granada is close to Seville, Cordoba, Almeria, and other beautiful places.
