In spring we offer regular weekly cultural walks with our teacher Francisco. Some options are:

- Guided visit to the Granada Sciene Park
The Parque de las Ciencias de Granada is an interactive museum located in the Spanish city of Granada. It was inaugurated in May 1995 and currently occupies 70 000 m². It is located in an area of the Figares district and has become one of the main tourist attractions of the city.

- Walk to the forest of the Alhambra
The "Bosque de Alhambra" is the forest that encircles the fortres Alhambra. Its boundaries is generally set by the fence surrounding the complex which starts at the bastion tower "Torre de los Picos" on the north bank of the river Darro, and to the wall that connects the Alhambra with the "Torre Bermejas" towers which covers northern and western area around the Moorish fortress

- Literary walk to the Fuente del Avellano
This walk along the left side of the River Darro will bring you closer to the history of poetry and literature in Granada. In 1897, Ángel Ganivet and Fuente del Avellano fraternity were gathering together next to this fountain, while enjoying the views of the caves and the Sacromonte Abbey. Since 2003, several plates with poems written by local and international authors are along the way guiding you to the fountain.

-The viewpoints of the Sacromonte
The Sacromonte district of Granada has several viewpoints offering panoramic views of the city, including the Alhambra, the Generalife and the Albaicín. One of the most outstanding is the Mirador de las Cuevas, located next to the Museo Cuevas del Sacromonte, which offers sweeping views of the Alhambra and the city.

On May 3 takes place in Granada and its province one of the most popular festivities in Andalusia: the day of the Cross. For this day the streets, squares, courtyards and even shop windows are decorated and filled with wonderful altars in honor of the Holy Cross. It is also a feast celebrated in the towns of the province.

The feast of the Day of the Cross 2025 will be celebrated in Granada from Friday, May 2 at 14.00 until Saturday, May 3 after midnight. This festival, which attracts thousands of visitors from all over Spain every year, has pagan and Christian origins. In the year 1625 an alabaster cross was made in the neighborhood of San Lázaro and all the neighbors of the area celebrated it by singing and dancing next to it.

Later, the tradition continued in the more typical neighborhoods, such as the Albaycín and the Realejo, and children began to build small altars decorated with manila shawls, ceramics and copper objects.

This year 2025 there will be 62 crosses installed in the capital. A novelty is the May cross that Cervezas Alhambra will install in the esplanade of the Palacio de Congresos to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
