Students combine a Spanish lessons in the mornings with different cultural activities during the afternoons. Our school is organising the following activities: a guided visit to the old Arabic quarter Albaicín, a guided visit to the Alhambra, a visit including a relaxing massage to the Arabic bath Hammam de al Andalus and a final day trip to Seville.

Casa del Arte Flamenco is a cultural space created for traditional flamenco performances. It is located in the old part of town in Granada, a few metres far from the lively and charming Plaza Nueva and near the Alhambra.

In Casa del Arte Flamenco our students will be able to enjoy Flamenco art which began at the beginning of the XIX century in Andalusia, having its first performances in places known as  “café cantantes”, which were the main temples of the flamenco singing and dancing.

Casa del Arte Flamenco welcomes you and invites you to get to know and feel the flamenco through the best artists of this universal art which is “cultural heritage”.

It's their first time with us! Students are enjoying Spanish lessons in Granada combined with cultural activites such as a visit to the Arabic bath, a guided visit to Alhambra and Albaicín, a Flamenco performance at the Sacromonte and a day trip to the Costa Tropical.

During 2 weeks they are going to participate in our Spanish language programme. Cultural activities such as a guided visit to the Alhambra, a daytrip to the Costa Tropical (including Nerja Caves), a visit to the local school Generalife or the football match Granada FC - Athletic de Bilbao are only some of the many activities they have chosen to complement the Spanish lessons.

It's never too late to learn Spanish!

The students are participating in a Spanish course programme for school groups in Granada. The 1 week programme consists in Spanish lessons in the mornings and the following cultural activities in the afternoons: role game & churros in the city centre, guided visits to Alhambra and Albaicín, a visit to the Arabic bath, Flamenco at the Sacromonte and an afternoon in Nerja beach.

For those thinking of learning Spanish and hiking in Andalusia the area around Granada often ranks highly as a choice of venues. One of the main attractions of this beautiful area is the wide variety of landscapes that are available within a very short distance. It is an ideal area for combining a Spanish course with walking holidays.

The Sierra Nevada National Park offer wonderful views around almost every corner. Here you can select from a wide range of walking challenges from very easy to extremely difficult. The walking routes have been here for centuries.  All year round our school complements the Spanish lessons in the morning with guided walks during two afternoons sper week.
