LOCATION
Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. It is one of the most magical places in the world, full of contrasts. Throughout the centuries Granada has gained a worthy reputation of merging cultures and diverse trends. One of the most outstanding examples of architecture in the world is the Alhambra. Apart from its historical importance Granada also offers endless cultural opportunities and entertainment thanks to its status as a university city. Granada is also well-known within Spain due to the prestigious University of Granada and, nowadays, wild night-life. In fact, it is said that it is one of the three best cities for college students (the other two are Salamanca and Santiago de Compostela). Enjoy our Spanish school in Granada!
