Granada Province in Southern Spain provides superb rock climbing for all standards. In addition to a Spanish course in the morning we offer One-to-One rockclimbing tours during 2 afternoons per week!

Our rock climbing programme is suitable for all ages and for beginner or advanced  climbers. The quiet and remote crags are located in beautiful surroundings, with the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the background.

We offer itineraries to fit every wish; whether you want a simple experience of climbing tall rock faces, an introductory course to teach you the basic skills and safety aspects of the sport, or an afternoon out with an experienced guide to push your grades by top roping, improve your skills, and get started at lead climbing.

In Andalusia climbing is possible all year round. On colder days one can find a sunny rock face near the coast, whilst on hotter days one can go high up and climb in the shade. The best time is from autumn to spring as summers are getting quite hot in Granada.

The type of climbing found here is sports climbing, meaning climbs are bolted and have secure stances up top.

If you are interested in horses, book our combined Spanish & Horseback riding package. We are sure, that it will be the highlight of your trip to Granada.

You take Spanish lessons in the morning from Monday to Friday and you will take part in a whole horseback riding afternoon once a week. The tour is a guided one-to-one programme.

Our guide Victor will pick you up at the school and will bring you to his place near Güejar Sierra village at about 15 km away from Granada city. The location is rural and very beautiful. Güejar Sierra is the perfect base to explore the natural treasures of the Sierra Nevada. Even from the centre of the village, the surrounding mountains dominate the landscape on all sides. These mountains are rich in wildlife of all types.

Victor speaks English in case your Spanish is still not good enough. His stuff will take great care to match you up with the right horse. The fantastic scenery of Güejar Sierra village and the mountain range of Sierra Nevada National Park will impress you without any doubt. You will have beautiful views from where you stop during the route.

The horse ride is perfect even for beginners. There are many routes available for more skilled riders.

Do you love nature? Also in 2019 Paco is going to offer short hikes during the week. So students can enjoy the wondeful landscapes of Granada Province. This is a wonderful experience and a nice complement to your Spanish lessons in the morning.

So, bring your hiking shoes ... maybe the weather is fine and Paco organizes an excursion!

With the wondrous Alhambra as its centrepiece, the ancient city of Granada – in the heart of Spain's south-west – is a must-see place. A gathering of superb restaurants and a thriving shopping scene, coupled with great beaches less than an hour away, make holidays to Granada a top choice:

Granada is one of the cities whose festivals are remembered for a long time because locals know how to have fun like nobody else. One of the most interesting events in the city's festival life is the International Granada Tango Festival. Tango is loved not only in Argentina - the festival is one of the best local events of this kind outside the country of its origin. It falls on in March, and colorful actions can be seen at Teatro Isabel La Católica.

Many of our students choose to simply kick back and watch the professionals work their Tango magic on the floor, but the brave take lessons and have a go at this passionate and fiery dance.

Book Tango lesons at our school during this period as a complement to a Spanish course in the morning. And during the evenings you have the chance to visit the different performances everywhere in the city.
