Spanish Teacher Refresher Course, Granada

Granada is a beautiful city in Andalucia in southern Spain, located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and just one hour from the Mediterranean coast. The city has a historic Moorish quarter, the famous Alhambra palace and a lively cultural scene, with festivals all year round and colourful street markets.

Our school is housed in a typical old traditional house, between the Albaicin and Sacromonte, and classrooms are located on a series of terraces which have wonderful views over to the Alhambra.

Our Spanish teacher refresher courses are offered all year round and include advanced level Spanish language classes and specialist methodology or cinema workshops. See below for full details.
