Endülüs tarzindaki hoş bir avluya sahip olan okulda, bilgili ve neşeli öğretmenler sayesinde, stajim çok eğlenceli ve rahat geçti. Bu okul yaklaşik 20 senedir yabanci öğrencilere ispanyolca kurslari vermekte. Buradaki kurslarda, ispanyolcayi daha çabuk ve verimli bir şekilde öğreniyorsunuz. Ayrica farkli ülkelerden gelen öğrenciler sayesindede ingilizcenizi bile geliştirme ve yeni arkadaşlar edinme şansiniz var. Kursda öğrenmiş olduğunuz ispanyolcayi, burdaki günlük hayat´da kullanabilmek, çok faydali oluyor.

Granada şehri çok farkli bir karaktere sahip. Bu şehir en parlak çağını, Müslümanların yönetiminde olduğu 13-15 asırlar arasında yaşamış ve günümüzde caddelerde, arka sokaklarda, binalarda ve anitlarda bu izler hala görülmekte. Hiristiyanlarin görkemli katedralleri ve kiliseleride görmeye değer. Elhamra sarayinin eşsiz bahçeleri, havuzlari ve zarafetide bugünkü zamana adeta meydan okumakta.

 

Ayrica dünyaca ünlü yazar Federico García Lorca ve Flamenko sanatçisi Enrique Morente gibi bir çok Flamenko şarki ve danscilari bu şehirde doğup büyümüşler. Genelde akşamlari, muhteşem bir atmosferde büyüleyici Flamenko ve müzik şovlarini muhakkak izlemelisiniz . Granada´nin farkli semtlerinde değişik etkinlikler sunulmakta olduğundan, burdaki zamaniniz çok renkli ve macerali geçecektir.

Granada´da her zevke göre bir şeyler bulmak mümkün: kültür, tarih, sanat, eğitim, eğlence, yemek, müzik vs.

Bu staj benim için unutulmaz bir tecrübe idi ver herkese buraya gelip bu güzelikleri yaşamanizi tavsiye ediyorum!!!!

Muchos saludos!

From the top of the Trevenque you can enjoy the beautiful views of Los Alayos and the Veleta. The Trevenque is a sharp mountain with steep sides, belonging to the limestoned Sierra Nevada. Here, half a hundred strange plants live; some of them can only be found round the peak of the mountains. For that reason, this area has great ecologic value.

Visitors to Andalusia's enchanting mountain villages usually come to relax and enjoy a peaceful time away from the pressures of modern life. Numerous tracks wind away from through mountains, cork forests and farmland where you can enjoy spectacular scenery undisturbed by traffic and everyday noise. The countryside of Cortes de la Frontera is part of the Grazalema Natural Park and is a paradise for botanists and ornithologists.

Walking at all levels is available through the mountains, using trails and tracks that have been in existence in some cases for hundreds of years, where you really capture the feeling that you have stepped back in time. Nature has been seemingly left to its own devices, and the area is a treasure trove for those interested in flora and fauna, set against an azure sky with Griffon Vultures soaring, the warm air rising from the steep mountain slopes - a photographer's dream.

OUR HOT TIP:
Walking Tour: Cortes de la Frontera - Valle de Libar - Montejaque (approx. 5 hrs)

Granada, thanks to its fascinating history and exceptional geographical location, makes a magnificent film set. Our beautiful city is also an extraordinary place to hold a cinema event, encounters between young professionals and the public, of the calibre of the International Young Filmmakers Festival of Granada.

We encourage all of you to participate in this year’s International Young Filmmakers Festival of Granada. You will find little gems to everyone’s liking, a wide variety of contents in which people of all types and all ages will find something to delight them. I am sure that the works screened will move you, amuse you and also make you think.

We from the school will assist sevarl evenings together with our students.

Hola!

Mam na imię Sylwia i w ciągu miesiąca uczestniczyłam w kursie języka hiszpańskiego w szkole Montalbán. Mimo upalnej pogody jaka towarzyszyła mi przez cały pobyt, ta podróż językowa okazała się być świetnym doświadczeniem :)

Granada jest miastem naprawdę różnorodnym i z pewnością przyciągnie tych, których ciekawi historia muzułmańskiej epoki miasta i jego piękno! To właśnie ten aspekt sprawia, że Andaluzja aż kipi mieszanką kultur i ma swój wyjątkowy urok!!

Mimo, że zajęcia z języka hiszpańskiego były prowadzone na wysokim poziomie i nieraz trzeba było przyłożyć się do nauki, to zawsze pozostawało trochę czasu wolnego na rozrywki :) Szkoła oferuje wiele ciekawych programów, ja postanowiłam wybrać się na spektakl Flamenco w ogrodach Generalife, zwiedzić Alhambrę, Sewillę i zażyć kąpieli w arabskich łaźniach, które mogę serdecznie polecić! Pobyt w Granadzie zdecydowanie podniósł mój poziom języka hiszpańskiego, ale był również czasem zawarcia międzynarodowych przyjaźni, które mam nadzieję przetrwają lata! W szkole Montalbán miałam okazję poznać wspaniałych ludzi z całego świata, razem uczyliśmy się języka, zwiedzaliśmy Andaluzję i bawiliśmy do białego rana w weekendy!!!

Pozdrawiam wszystkich, których miałam okazję poznać podczas moich wakacji w Hiszpanii i nie Adios, ale Hasta Luego Compañeros!!!!!

Saludos de Polonia!

Sylwia

Cines del Sur has programmed for viewers a new series of recommendations that discover new talents and revisit some of the more established directors.

Competing in the Official Section are ten films from Asia, Africa and Latin America, all of which will have their Spanish premiere at the Festival; the informative section Itineraries includes most of the best films from this harvest; in the Mediterráneos section works of tremendous quality from countries located on the shores of the Mediterranean will compete with one another.

This year the retrospective is devoted to the last 40 years of Filipino film. The series is a true gem and has never before been seen in this country. It brings together twenty films that have shaped at least two generations of filmmakers who have surprised the film world with the quality and freshness of their work.
