"Granada, city of Enchantment and Fantasy" were the words of Washington Irving who was captivated by this place. And that is what Granada really is; enchantment and fantasy, from the narrow cobbled streets of the old quarter to the fountains and parks and the magnificent splendour of the Alhambra and Generalife, everything in Granada has a special feeling. In fact the biggest problem about coming to study Spanish in Granada is that you won't want to leave and you will miss it after you have left!

Granada is also one of the most important student cities in Spain; there has been a university here for 500 years. It is also one of the country's most important cultural centres, a place where Arabic and Christian traditions fuse. This unique mix and many other factors make Granada an ideal place to live, study or stay for a while. It provides a rich cultural environment with a lively student and university atmosphere!

The city boasts a very active night life with many bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. Bars here tend to close between midnight and 4am, when a whole host of clubs open. Visitors always remark on how special the atmosphere is in Granada. Meeting people is easy!

You can't really complain about Granada's location either. Nestled next to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the chance of going skiiing and snowboarding is just a short bus ride away. As is the beach, together with the sun-drenched Costa Tropical and Costa del Sol. In fact, Granada's ideal location means that at certain times of the year you can go skiing in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon!
