Gabriele Leguina-Morel from the Viken Fylkeskommune in Oslo, Norway wrote us this regarding her trip with a secondary school group to Granada last October:

Hola Marga, 

¡Ya han pasado casi dos semanas desde nuestra semana en Granada! ¡Qué rápido pasa el tiempo! 

Estoy leyendo los textos de reflexión que han escrito los alumnos sobre su viaje de estudios y, cómo siempre, están muy contentos con la semana con vosotros. Sí que se lo han pasado muy bien en el tiempo libre, pero sobre todo hablan de lo bien que han estado en clase y en todas las actividades en común que hemos tenido.  

Os quería dar las gracias por vuestra paciencia, flexibilidad y profesionalidad en todo lo que hacéis. Por algo vuelvo siempre con vosotros porque sé que puedo confiar 100 % en que los chicos van a tener lo mejor de lo mejor.  

De nuevo: gracias! 

Os deseo un muy buen fin de semana. 

Un abrazo, 

Gabriele. 

Dominik Messer from the FOSBOS Amberg, Germany wrote us this regarding his trip with a secondary school group to Granada last October:

Hallo Marga

.... zunächst einmal herzlichen Dank für die abermals tolle Organisation. Die Fahrt wird gefühlt von Jahr zu Jahr immer noch besser, auch wenn es jedes Jahr kaum zu toppen scheint ? Die Schüler waren auf alle Fälle hin und weg - 4 von ihnen haben sich sogar als Erinnerung ein Tattoo stechen lassen (eine davon einen Granatapfel). Ich stelle mich nach der kulinarischen Genusswoche bei Antonia besser bis zur nächsten Spanienreise nicht auf die Waage ...

Day trip to Córdoba
Meeting point: Congress Palace
Guide: Juan 
Price: 70,00 €*
* includes transport, entrance fees, guide, insurance

Cordoba's period of greatest glory began in the 8th century after the Moorish conquest, when some 300 mosques and innumerable palaces and public buildings were built to rival the splendours of Constantinople, Damascus and Baghdad. In the 13th century, under Ferdinand III, the Saint, Cordoba's Great Mosque was turned into a cathedral and new defensive structures, particularly the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos and the Torre Fortaleza de la Calahorra, were erected.

Every year, the image of the Granada Jazz Festival is spread in an extraordinary way by Juan Vida, a painter who has been affectionately involved with the Festival throughout all these years and whose posters are coveted by the most passionate collectors. With an extraordinary artistic and human sensitivity, this year's poster expresses in a metaphorical way: the origin of jazz, Africa and the necessary visibility of the female instrumentalist.

What is the CCSE test?

The test of constitutional and sociocultural knowledge of Spain (PRUEBA CCSE) is an examination test developed by the Cervantes Institute that evaluates, by means of different tasks, the knowledge of the Spanish Constitution and of the Spanish social and cultural reality.

It is one of the requirements established in the laws for the granting of Spanish nationality for residents in Spain,

Through the agreement signed with the Cervantes Institute, our school as a member of FEDELE is a collaborating institution for the examinations.

Candidates can enroll for the exams in 2024 after the 07 of September 2023.
