Setting Description:

Where else in the world can you hike in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the morning, take a dip in the Mediterranean sea in the afternoon and enjoy "tapas" by the light of the Alhambra in the same evening? Granada itself is a fusion of past and present, mixing the history, art and traditions of every culture that has inhabited this city and made it so unique. Perhaps a direct legacy of three cultures living here in harmony—the Christians, the Moors and the Jews—is the openness of the Andalusian personality. Granada Summer Advantage combines ideal location with complete immersion, creating the perfect environment for learning and excitement!
