Granada is a wonderful place to learn Spanish and about the Spanish culture - a must visit spot for anyone!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The classes. My teachers had a great sense of humour and their conversational style of teaching really breathed life into the dryer grammatical topics, as well as producing some more eclectic points of vocabulary along the way. The class size was approximately 10 people which meant you would receive feedback from the teacher very frequently throughout the class. The learning environment was hardly something which one could recreate for themselves at home and provided an enormous boost to my overall proficiency in the language, so great value for money I'd say and very good fun too.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
If you want to get in to see the Alhambra be sure to book well (possibly months) in advance.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It definitely benefited local business - so yes on that front. I flew to Granada from London - less good for the environment. Conservation - don't see how that applies here.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The school arranged an afternoon at the Alhambra guided by one of the teachers. Magical, great teachers, loved classes, learned a lot!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
I booked a single room in an apartment and had whole apartment to myself as no one else was staying there. Very basic and on 3rd floor with no elevator. If you really want to enhance your class, I would also book private lesson.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Out to dinner, tapas so that supported local economy.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very good teaching, classes. Had a great time and learned some Spanish.Read the operator's response here:
Peggy! It's been a pleasure having you here.
Thank you so much for your review and for your suggestions, that always make us improve to offer better services to our students. Regarding the accommodation, you were the only one in your flat because you booked a private apartment, that's why. Maybe you didn't realize it while filling in the form! We also offer rooms in shared flat, this means that a student will share the accommodation with other people. So, next time you can choose "single room in a shared flat" if you prefer to live with other people.
Thank you for being part of our family and hope to see you soon!

You can learn as much as you want in terms of language and culture as long as you express your needs to your teacher. They are very open and receptive to your needs at the School.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The joy of getting back into learning!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do some research - we would have liked to visit The Alhambra while we were in Granada but found it was fully booked for the whole of our stay. Apparently this happens in the peak season - we did not realise that May was peak. Most important is to avoid the ticket office in the centre of town, which charged one student Euros 45 (against normal entry of about Euros 14) for entry ...he did go with a guide but it did seem very expensive. Also, it was good to have done a little Spanish (I used DuoLingo online) before attending the course - that way you make a leap start!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Most definitely it benefited local people - the school was full of local teachers, we had coffee every day at a local bar to the school, we ate and drank out every day while we were in Granada. I'm not sure I can claim that we supported conservation!4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Absolutely fantastic! I was thrilled to be learning again, met some great people, the teachers were so enthusiastic and made it a complete joy. I would definitely recommend the holiday to anyone thinking of picking up Spanish either as a beginner or as an improver. Go and you won't regret it!Read the operator's response here:
