School Trips to Granada
Set against the stunning backdrop of Sierra Nevada, Granada is a beautiful city steeped in history with a mix of traditional whitewashed houses and both Islamic and Catholic architecture. No school trip to Granada would be complete without an excursion to the majestic Moorish Alhambra Palace, one of most spectacular Islamic structures in Europe. There are plenty of highlights to enjoy whilst in Granada such as Generalife or take a stroll through the Albaicin (Granada’s old Muslim quarter). Students can also watch an authentic Flamenco performance and practice their Spanish language skills by asking for some mouth-watering tapas.
Granada is a great alternative to Madrid or Barcelona for a Spanish Language trip. Granada offers an alluring charm, with a majestic collection of different architectural types, fantastic food, friendly hospitality and its own UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Alhambra Palace.
