Details

Discover Granada and its surroundings – Hostel.

This program includes a wide range of entertaining and educational activities that will make the students get an in-depth glimpse into Spanish and Andalusian culture, addressing many of the key elements that have defined this city: history, literature, cinema, music, urban art… This way, they will get a complete overview of the historical facts that have made Granada the city we know today. It’s a full-immersion experience, in which the students will have to use all the linguistic resources within reach, in order to communicate and understand what is happening around them.

Moreover, our instructors, who will be accompanying the group 24/7, will also create a relaxed and collegial atmosphere, where all students feel comfortable participating, learning and enjoying their experience to the fullest extent. Instructors are ready and willing to respond to any suggestions or enquiry that students or teachers may have. Each night, instructors will also organise night activities so as to end the day in the most exciting way: contests, films, shows…

As the poet Lorca said… “Granada is a city for leisure, a city for contemplation and fantasy…” Shall we begin exploring?

Day 1

Upon your arrival, we will be waiting for you at the Granada Airport. From there, we will go, in our private bus, to the hostel. After lunch, we will begin discovering the city with a guided visit to the old city and the Albaicín. Afterwards, we will go to the hostel, where we will have time to check in and relax a little bit. We will have dinner at the hostel and later, the instructors will prepare some fun group activities to close the day in style!

Day 2

After waking up, getting ready and having breakfast at the hostel, we will head to the Alhambra and the Generalife. We will travel back in time several centuries and discover how life was in times of the Nasrid dynasty, as well as the Muslim monarch’s second residence. When we are done, we will look for a place to have lunch.

In the afternoon, we will go to the Museum of Sacromonte Caves. It is an ethnographic museum that will show us the old house-caves and the traditional lifestyles of their inhabitants. This way, we will begin to understand the impact of this patrimonial legacy.

Later on, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner, we will enjoy a flamenco show!

Day 3

This morning we will visit the poet Federico García Lorca’s House-Museum, also known as the Huerta de San Vicente, which was his summer holiday spot. Afterwards, we will have time to walk around its gorgeous gardens and we will also have lunch around there.

In the afternoon, we will go to the Royal Chapel of Granada, which houses the Catholic Monarch’s tomb. From there, we will continue up to the Bañuelo -an old hammam- and then to the Palace of the Forgotten –a memorial to the Sephardi presence in the city-. We will end by admiring the sunset from one of the multiple viewpoints of the city.

And after dinner… what entertaining activity will the instructors have for us today?

Day 4

Today we’d better have a hearty breakfast, because we are going on a day trip to Motril. Motril is a village situated 1 hour away from Granada, on the Mediterranean coast. When we arrive, we will go for a walk on the old town and then we will visit the Park of the Peoples of America, full of fountains and exotic plants.

After having lunch, we will spend the afternoon at the beach. We will have time to do activities with the instructors, swim, sunbathe, walk or even have ice-cream! Once we are tan enough, we will head back to Granada.

And to finish the day, as usual, our team of instructors will be ready after dinner for a night-time activity, today we will have a TV contest!

Day 5

Before leaving Granada, we will visit the Science Park, the first interactive museum in Andalucía. Throughout its various buildings and exhibition halls, we will experiment with technology, innovation, art, energy, light, sound… Once we are done, we will go to have lunch at the park bordering the Genil River.

After having lunch, we will have free time to go shopping, buy some souvenirs or even have ice-cream in the sun, it’s up to you!

Finally, we will go back to the hostel and, after dinner… the instructors have prepared a little surprise!

Day 6

This amazing trip is coming to an end… so, after breakfast, we will have time to pack our things and head to the airport.
