    Learn Spanish in Granada


    Learn Spanish in Granada , Spain
    Granada is the land of sun, great people and fun. The city, of Muslim tradition, has one of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in the world, the Alhambra –commonly known as the “Red Fortress” due to its red-coloured walls and the crimson colour of the city when the sun sets. The light in Granada is special, full of magic. Anyone who sees a sunset here never forgets that vision of the sun going down, glorious, behind the Alhambra. This fortress was built by the first kings of Granada, the Ziritas, who had their palaces in the hills of the Albaicin, back in the year 1248. This district is among the most popular and crowded in the city today; home to bullfighters and great flamenco songwriters. It is also common to see small craft markets around and Gypsy women with sprigs of basil that promise to read the future in your hand. It is said that Granada was the fruit of a witch’s spell, created through magic, and that it still has an air of the mystical.

    There are hundreds of interesting places to be discovered in Granada: the Alpujarras, Sierra Nevada or the Mulhacen, the highest mountain of the Iberian Peninsula.

    It is the mixture of different cultures that really makes the place though: the Muslim architecture, the Christian rituals and the Gypsy people, so different and deep-rooted at the same time!
