I was in a group of four, a perfect size. Our teachers, José and Marisa, made sure we all got a chance to speak, and we learned a lot about Spanish culture and politics as well as help with the Spanish language.

Being so small, the school does not have its own cafe or social area so I didn't get much chance to meet other students. I had to miss the introductory session for new students on Monday afternoon because it clashed with the cookery class. It would have been nice to have some sort of social event on the first day, something which was offered at other schools I have attended. But that's my only real criticism.

I also did a couple of the excursions in Granada, one to the Hammam Arab Baths in the Albaizin (a wonderful experience and if you book via the school you get a third off), and a walk through the beautiful Lecrin Valle with OlivaTours, which I have reviewed separately.

I stayed at the Santa Ana apartments in Albaizin, about 20 minutes' walk from the school. I have reviewed this separately.

Overall, I can definitely recommend the Escuela Montalbán as an opportunity to learn or improve your Spanish.

The Granada International Jazz Festival began 35 years ago, in 1980 and quickly became one of the most significant jazz festivals that Europe has to offer. Over the course of 35 years a number of Industry giants have performed here which helped shape a genuine jazz movement.

This year, which is the 35 year anniversary of the festival, we will again be blessed with the presence of some amazing Jazz artists. Artists from all over the world such as Carmen Souza, Aaron Goldberg and many others will be performing. The culture that has submerged in the course of the 35 years of existence is one that promotes contact and exchange of experiences between local and foreign musicians, making the whole festival quite a spectacle for the true jazz fans but also very enjoyable for people who have never listened to Jazz in their life!

This is the perfect vacation for people who want to learn Spanish, enjoy the beautiful sights Granada has to offer and appreciate the culture the Jazz festival brings to the city.
