What is the PRUEBA CCSE?

The Spanish constitutional and sociocultural knowledge test (PRUEBA CCSE) is an exam created by the Instituto Cervantes which evaluates, via various means, the knowledge of the constitution and the social and cultural realities in Spain.

Passing this test is one of the requirements established by the law for people from any country in order to acquire the Spanish nationality.

Candidates of any nationality who are 18 years old and above and with legal capacity to act can sign up to take the exam.

Escuela Montalbán, in Granada, is a CCSE exam centre which is one of the selected institutions in Spain, recognised by the Instituto Cervantes to manage and supervise these exams.

The first PRUEBA CCSE examination in 2021 will take place at our school from 25.01 to 28.01.2021.

The extraordinary Christmas lighting, which includes the city center and the 32 neighborhoods of Granada, will last until January 6 at a schedule adapted to the COVID-19 circumstances.

Between 06.30 p.m. until 10.30 p.m., allowing the possibility of extending it on the most special days of the festivities, visitors can enjoy the decoration.

On this occasion, the Granada City Council has opted for a decoration aimed at converting emblematic spaces of the city into must-see places for Christmas in Granada, since the intention is that citizens who go out for a walk "can enjoy our wonderful city with their friends and families".

Designed for students at all levels of Spanish ability, this programme allows you to acquire and improve your Spanish language skills while gaining a deeper understanding of Spanish culture.

Join other international students and hone your Spanish skills at our Spanish language school in Granada.
