We go out for some tapas!
Meeting point: School
Guide: Francisco
Price: each student pays his consumption

A tapa is a type of appetizer which is served when you order a drink. Serving tapas to customers is a typical Spanish tradition preserved through the whole of Spain. In some cities, such as Granada, the tapas are free. They can vary from just a few peanuts or a small dish of olives, to almost a mini meal in itself. One of the most enjoyable pleasures of the Spanish culture, is to go out with your friends for tapas. You usually only stay in each tapas bar for one or two drinks, so that you can go to a series of different bars in one evening. In some tapas bars you can choose your tapa, whereas in others, there is a set list of tapas that you get according to the type which is being served.

The sea and the sierras embrace this land and its rich cultural legacy which, due to its strategic position watching over the coastline, was much coveted by the most powerful civilisations.

Colossal Muslim fortresses and castles stand majestically above small coastal towns, next to marinas or well-developed seaside resorts. In the background stands the Sierra Nevada, above the steep gorges and cliffs which overlook paradise-like coves. The Costa Tropical – Granada (Tropical Coast)  is a land of contrast which offers visitors a wide variety of posibilities.
