Learn Spanish in Granada

Granada (345 000 inhabitants) is a Spanish city, situated in the province of Granada and the autonomous community of Andalusia. The city covers 88 km² and is surrounded by Huétor Vega, Maracaña and Armilla, located 89 km North East of Malaga. The city is geographically diverse, with its coastal area with a hot climate, the Genil plain and the colder mountain regions where you´ll find the Mulhacén, which at 3481m altitude, is the highest point of the Iberian Peninsula.

The city of Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Its unique history has given it a multitude of artistic splendours, including Muslim palaces and treasures of the Christian renaissance.

Don Quijote Spanish School in Granada

In Granada, our school takes up five floors of a modern building, which has bright rooms and many balconies. It is equipped with heating and air conditioning, which is very important considering that the city has months of intense heat as well as months of very cold weather.

Just like the other don Quijote schools, it has all the necessary teaching equipment, such as computers, overhead projectors and video recorders.

The school also has a large lounge area where you can relax between lessons, watch TV, read Spanish books or newspapers. It is situated on a quiet street, just a few minutes from the Alhambra Cathedral, the Albaicín and the convention centre.
