Castila Granada

Castila’s Granada school is on Plaza de San Nicolás in the Albaicín, the hillside neighbourhood known for its view across to the Alhambra. The school was founded by teachers of language and culture in 1988. Its teaching location is an important detail when comparing language schools in Granada. The journey from accommodation in the lower city includes the approach to the hilltop neighbourhood.

Learning in the Albaicín

Castila offers Spanish in private lessons and in group programmes at different intensities. Language-and-culture courses give students a way to work on Spanish while discussing the history and setting they encounter outside. Business Spanish addresses a different audience, including learners who need to move beyond everyday conversation into a professional context. The school also provides preparation for Spanish examinations.

Another route combines Spanish with a period of work experience. A prospective participant should look at the language level needed for the placement as well as the sequence of study and practical work. Teachers and visiting educational groups can explore programmes developed for their own purposes. A group planning a cultural visit can use the teaching base in the Albaicín to connect its classroom agenda with the neighbourhood it has come to explore.
