Sierra Nevada will host the first Snow Running World Championship on February 4 and 5, 2022 with the participation of the best runners of this emerging discipline of mountain races.

The first snow running world championship will consist of two races; the first, called SkySnow Running Vertical, will be held at dawn on February 4 with a route of 4.3 kilometers with 950 meters of vertical ascent to 3.050 meters of altitude. The second, SkySnow Running Classic, will be held at nightfall on February 5 on a line of 12.7 kilometers and a vertical climb of 925 meters.

The designation of Sierra Nevada came after the Spanish Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing presented the candidacy of Granada ski station - where official races of this discipline have been held since 2012. The landscape characteristics of the route, which runs through the ski area, have made it the largest snow running event in Europe for several years.

I love this school and have been so many times. The teachers are wonderful - kind, clear and will help you learn the Spanish culture and language very efficiently.

Fans, who travel from many parts of Spain and Europe come to this event, to enjoy extraordinary concerts in the beautiful and emblematic Theater Isabel la Católica and throughout the city with Jazz in parallel with more than 80 concerts and activities, generating an exciting jazz atmosphere. The Granada International Jazz Festival, in autumn, is a must.

"Although I have only performed at the Granada Jazz Festival once, the memory of the experience has haunted me for over a decade. Between the creative, welcoming direction of the festival, and the intense flavors of mystery and history that permeate this city, I have always longed to return ". Charles Lloyd

We offer Spanish course programmes for secondary schools all year round. Spanish lessons take place in the morning from Monday to Friday. Students participate generally in 4 lessons of 45 minutes per day. The level groups have a maximum of 10 students.

The morning classes are complemented with daily cultural activities, such as guided visits to the Alhambra and the old Arabic quarter Albaicín. Our groups visit a Flamenco performance with dinner at the Sacromonte and go for a guided trip to the coast during the weekend.

If they wish so, we can organize a guided hike in one of the natural parks in Granada Province. The area around Granada often ranks highly as a choice of venues. One of the main attractions of this beautiful area is the wide variety of landscapes that are available within a very short distance. It is an ideal area for combining a Spanish course with walking holidays.
