We're here to help you with our new flexible policies designed to give you complete confidence when you book. To give you peace of mind when booking a course with us, we want to provide you with as much flexibility as possible. For our adult students, we are revising our policies as follows:

PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Tuition: we are not charging cancellation fees on tuition (with no notice period prior to arrival). School apartments/homestay accommodation: we are not charging cancellation fees (with no notice period prior to arrival).

IN-SCHOOL STUDENTS
Tuition: the school may substitute completely or partially, the face-to-face classes for classes held in a virtual classroom environment, without implying any modification in the price of the course. If students don't wish online classes, they will be credited with a voucher for any complete unused weeks to be used for the same course at another date. We refund part of the paid amount, if a students decides to shorten the programme or reduce the number of lessons.

School apartments/homestay accommodation: if a student decides to leave the acommodation, already paid weeks will be refunded.

Our school will ensure at all times that face-to-face classes are taught, with strict subjection and in compliance with the measures that the Public Authorities have ordered, regarding prevention and hygiene, in relation to the spread and contagion of the COVID-19 virus.

These terms and conditions are valid until further notice.

We will serve the public for new registrations by phone, WhatsApp, email and during our reduced office hours in June from Monday to Friday from 10.00 and 13.00 h.

Our Spanish language school in Granada is different and it is a good time to show this by coming out of this situation with greater enthusiasm and commitment to a cooperative business project that puts the stability of its workers and the quality of teaching up front.

For those thinking of learning Spanish in Granada and hiking in the surroundings, the area around Granada often ranks highly as a choice of venues. One of the main attractions 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.

The Sierra Nevada National Park and a lot of different natural parks offer wonderful views around almost every corner. Here you can select from a wide range of walking challenges from very easy to extremely difficult. In this area, especially in spring, there is an abundance of flora including vibrant indigenous flowers as well as rare orchids. The groves of olive, almond, orange and lemon trees offer a wide variety of new and ancient trees, some of them hundreds of years old. All year round our school offers guided walks in the afternoons.
