Things to do in Province of Granada, Andalucia: The Best Lessons & Workshops
There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

An impressive setting for a school high up in the Sacramonte area of the city with stunning views of the Alhambra. The staff are very professional and welcoming, teaching is to a high standard. I went for a month to have a go at learning Flamenco guitar, Jorge is probably one of the most patient teachers around! In addition the school arranges very informative walking trips around the city and weekly excursions further away. For the final week of my stay the school was "hit" by the imposition of tough measures to combat Covid 19. Although face-to-face lessons were suspended, the staff went to great lengths to provide online lessons via video link for the remaining students, so our learning was not seriously compromised. Well done Carmen de las Cuevas! I hope the situation improves soon so that you can continue to offer great classes in a relaxed and friendly environment,

Castila was founded in 1988 by a group of Spanish teachers who felt a true passion and enthusiasm for their language and culture. Castila is located in the Albaicin area, the famous Arabic quarter in the centre of Granada facing the Alhambra. Plazas, green spaces, narrow, traffic-free streets, fountains and the whitewashed walls of the houses.

My family studied at CastiLa this past summer (my husband, myself and our 3 children). It was the perfect atmosphere to learn, grow and experience the Spanish culture in Granada. It is run by an inviting, knowledgeable and fun staff who will come to feel like family by the end. Besides growing in our knowledge of Spanish - we got to experience fun day trips and excursions when we were not in class. No matter where you are from or what level of Spanish you have - you will find the perfect fit at CastiLa. The only negative is having to say goodbye to the teachers and friends you will meet from around the world!

Cannot rate them enough, We booked lessons for the kids and they also booked all our equipment and ski passes as well which made everything so easy for us when we arrived. They really went out of their way to accommodate us including last minute requests for more lessons! Kids really enjoyed their lessons (hence the want for another day of lessons!) and improved so much in the few days we were there, We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!

My husband, two daughters (aged 10 and 11) and I had a Family Lesson with Jonathan and we all loved it. Jonathan gave us some great tips that really helped our technique and allowed us to enjoy our skiing holiday even more. I'd have loved another couple of lessons but, unfortunately, we left it too late to book and all the slots were already taken.
