The International Jazz Festival of Granada city is one of Europe's oldest and sees both established and up-and-coming jazz artists perform at the Isabel La Catolica Theatre. Previous line-ups include the likes of Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Haden and Art Blakey.

As well as the main festival, there are lots of chances to catch jazz concerts at venues in Granada throughout November. Full details of these and other supporting programmes are available on the Granada International Jazz Festival website.

Highlights of the line-up for 2011 include Roy Haynes, Stacey Kent, the Christian McBride Trio and the McCoy Tyner Trio.

I think everybody is allowed to say his opinion, but I think it has to be the true. It`s true that the school don`t use books but I think that the reason is that they are working with a lot of books on the same time.

I stayed there for a lot of weeks in the last years and I think that it`s a very seriosly Spanish language school. The teachers are friendly and very open for criticism and for every kind of questions. In all my time which I spend in this school I never heard students talking negativ about the school. The metodology in this school maybe is different, but very effective. The question is you learned something in your Spanish course or not? Because maybe you are not confirm with this metodology but sometimes you have to addapt another one.
All in all I think it`s not fair to make a criticism about things which are not happening like this. There are a lot of people reading this terms and it`s bad for everybody who read this.

I think the school is excellent and everybody can feel welcome because they all are like a big family.
Samuel if you are really disappointed I think you can say this directly to the school and talk to them, but this way it`s not the right one because I think that most of the things that you are writing are not truthful.

Some adult students and a teenager group from the Bernhard-Strigel Gymnasium in Memmingen (Germany) joined the trip. We had a fantastic sunny day with 25º. We visited the famous Cathedral, the Real Alcázeres, the Giralda, the Juderia and the Plaza de España. And again special thank's to Juan and José. They were fantastic guides who impressed us with their knowledge of Muslim history and art.
