At the end of last February, Russia undertook military maneuvers against Ukraine and its civilian population, unleashing a war that we never thought could be repeated in Europe. Many Ukrainians are being forced to leave their home and land to countries that host them as refugees which has become a nightmare for them.

At Escuela Montalbán and in collaboration with FEDELE, our national association of Spanish language schools, we want to show our support for the Ukrainian people and, therefore, we will continue to carry out our main task: teaching Spanish as a foreign language.

For this reason, we offer free Spanish coursesto Ukrainians who are in Granada as refugees during the year 2022. The number and the length of these free courses will depend on our availibility. Refugees on a beginner level will have preferences! These courses are only suitable for adults!

Granada kicks off this year's programming of the Tango Festival on March 16 with the show "Jazz, Flamenco and Tango, the banks of a wide river".

The artists Sergio de Lope (flute), Fabrizio Mocata (piano) and Manu Masaedo (percussion), along with numerous guest artists, will perform under the central theme of considering tango as a universal genre.

"Tango belongs to a country that is an archipelago with cities from all over the world, including the city of Granada ..."

The Casa de los Tiros was built between 1530 and 1540 in the style of Granada palaces of the period. Its name (house of the shots) comes from the cannons once set between its battlements. It formed part of the defensive wall of Los Alfareros neighbourhood, hence its fortified, military appearance.

Only the tower remains of the original building, with subsequent building taking place around it. Special mention should be made of the polychromed coffering in the ?Cuadra Dorada? or main hall, as well as the Plateresque doors.

In 1921 it became state property, and since then has been home to the Casa de Tiros Museum, with a library and publications library dealing with Granada-related affairs.

This day there is a pilgrimage to Sacromonte and a mass in his honor.

The famous Pilgrimage of San Cecilio to the Abbey of Sacromonte begins at 11.00 in the morning, when a municipal delegation, escorted by the four maceros of the city, set off along the Camino Viejo del Fargue towards the Abbey. Subsequently, the members of the municipal corporation go inside the Abbey, where the celebration of a mass officiated by the Archbishop of Granada takes place.

As in any pilgrimage there is a part of popular festive acts such as local and regional dances and music at the foot of the Sacromonte Abbey. Where a stage and a bar are set up to serve all the pilgrims, tourists and neighbors who want to celebrate the party.

Many groups, preferably young people and families, spread out over the mountain and make their country meal with wine from the region, jayuya cakes, salaíllas, cod, broad beans, Sacromonte tortilla and other local products.

This pilgrimage has been celebrated since 1599, the year in which a plague devastated Granada and from which, according to tradition, it came out by invoking the saint. In the past, many people from Granada went up and made a pilgrimage to the caves to venerate the relics before an institutional pilgrimage was made official.
