Preparing for the DELE C2 examination at Escuela Montalbán

Preparing for the DELE C2 examination at Escuela Montalbán has certainly been a wonderfully enriching experience - the teaching staff were well informed, helpful, and friendly and the learning environment provided me with the necessary support to nurture my then rudimentary Spanish skills as effectively as possible.

Furthermore, Granada is a place that is sure to suit the palate of just about anybody, being a city which seemingly unifies all four of the compass´ main directions; on the one hand, it bridges – better than any other city that I know of - the commonly observed chasm between East and West, boasting the ubiquitously known Alhambra as well as the marvellous Albayzin town quarter, whilst still being fully ´up to date´ and offering all the amenities of any large Western city; on the other hand, Granada is a typical sunny Southern-Spanish city (the sun is something I unfortunately wasn´t able to experience, having chosen the rainiest winter in Andalusia ever since the existence of weather data for my visit - I have read that it is usually in constant presence though), however, one can still indulge in a weekend of winter sport or hiking in the nearby Sierra Nevada.
 
In short, a visit to Granada and a concomitant language course at Escuela Montalbán, be it for instrumental or hedonic reasons, are both thoroughly recommended.
