HIKING IN GRANADA, SPAIN
The mountain range of the Sierra Nevada National Park is situated in Andalusia. More specifically in the province of Granada. With its 3000-meter high peaks, it is one of the most famous mountain ranges in Europe. Sierra Nevada is full of various hiking trails and breathtaking scenery. The Sierra Nevada National Park is a popular tourist destination as it has something for everyone.
One of the best and easiest hike is the "Cañada del Sereno" trail in the Huetor Santillan Natural park.
This trail is long with 12 kilometers. It is well-equipped for groups, as you have benches and shades on the way where you can take a break and rest. If you want to do a picnic you can also do that in an idyllic mountain setting there. Also, there is a water fountain so you do not have to bring a lot of water bottles with you. During the winter the road is snowy but for any other season, it is convenient and great.

"Stat Crux dum volvitur orbis" (The stable cross while the world turns). The motto of the Carthusian Order seems to be a tight synthesis of the more than three hundred years that the Carthusian monks dedicated to to the construction of the Royal Monastery of La Cartuja in Granada, located on the outskirts of the city. The world took many turns since 1513, when the the construction of a convent began in 1513. Visitors can trace the evolution of the different artistic tastes that European architecture experienced during that long period and, at the same time, to appreciate the solitude of the Carthusian way of life. The monastery's sacristy, a prime example of the Spanish of the Spanish Baroque, is an obligatory stop on any visit. In 1835, as a result of Mendizábal's Disentailment, the religious order was forced to abandon the building, This was. the beginning of a period of decadence of the monument, which was only halted after it was declared a historic-artistic place in 1932. Since the 1970s, the monastery has solemnly presided over the Cartuja University Campus.

OUR STUDY TRIP TO GRANADA
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.
OUR STUDY TRIP TO GRANADA
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 ...

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.
JAZZ FESTIVAL GRANADA
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.
