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.

Founded in 1984 as first Spanish School in Granada, Carmen de las Cuevas is the ideal place to learn Spanish and dive into the fascinating world of flamenco: the Spanish Language school is acknowledged by the Instituto Cervantes as well as a leading Flamenco Center. The school buidling is a charming maze of caves, staircases, terraces and rooms and located facing the Alhambra, in the quarter Albayzin declared by the UNESCO as a cultural heritage site, a historic neighbourhood in Granada widely recognised for its beauty, history, and architecture.
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,

Best school to learn. We had a great teacher Mr Daniel Benedicto ( Dani ). It was our first time but we end up skiing in just 2 hours class . I recommend to everyone to ask for Dani if you really want to have good time and best teacher.
