Joaquín Sorolla: "Jardines de la Luz"

The exhibition retraces the encounter between Joaquín Sorolla and Andalusia – its millenarian culture, the landscapes of the Sierra Nevada, the Arab courtyards and gardens of the Alhambra, and the Alcazar of Seville all providing inspiration and material in the form of clear, lyrical visions. In these compositions, human presence is banished and flora, marble, tiles, light and colours all come to life. The artist’s brush conveys reflections on water, light filtering through and dissolving geometrical architecture, and the colourful mosaic of the southern garden.

Horseback riding at Sierra Nevada National Park
Fee: 30 €

In summer the ascent is remarkably straightforward for being such a high mountain, and the fresh mountain air at the summit is a welcome relief from the heat at lower altitudes.

The route starts at Hoya de la Mora and is easy to follow and the terrain is undemanding, although if you prefer you can take slightly more challenging short-cut paths.

La Escuela Montalban a Granada e' stata una vera sorpresa, sin dal primo momento ho capito che mi trovavo in un posto speciale e ora che la mia esperienza e' terminata so di non essermi sbagliato. Al suo interno si puo' assaporare un mix azzeccatissimo di familiarità e professionalita' che consente allo studente di apprendere in tutta tranquillità una nuova lingua. Anche il rapporto tra gli stessi studenti e' ottimo, ciò grazie alle numerose attività che la scuola organizza. Insomma, forse sarà perché Granada e' una delle città più belle del mondo, forse sarà perché la scuola si trova in un antico edificio granadino, forse sarà per la somma di tutto questo, pero' credo sia stata una delle esperienze più belle che ho vissuto, e cosa ancora più importante parlo uno spagnolo "de puta madre".
