LEARNING TO SPEAK SPANISH IN GRANADA, SPAIN
|
"Granada is not just the Alhambra, the Albaicín or the Royal Chapel - it's a path that takes is to the history of the Moors, the Romans and the discovery of America, and bring us to a dynamic, modern, youthful present (the city is home to over 60.000 students). Granada is colour: the blue skies and the sea, the white snow and the green fertile plain. But Granada is especially people: a lively, simple and hospitable city. As the popular saying goes, "He or she who has not seen Granada has seen nothing", and I, who have seen the city for 36 years now, discover a little more of the city's enchantment every day. Those who want to experience Granada's charm must come and stay for a while".
