Spanish Refresher Course + Arab Culture (1 week)

This programme is aimed at non-native teachers of Spanish who teach Spanish abroad. We offer a special programme related to Arab history, art and culture in Granada! Granada exudes a mystical sense of beauty that not many Spanish cities can compare to. The city is very elegantly poised with Arab-influenced architecture, gypsy-inhabited caves and Iberian culture. As the last city to be returned to the Christian conquistadors after several hundred centuries of Muslim ruling, Granada still bears evidence to its Arabic influence to this day. The Alhambra Palace was built during the Moorish reign in the 15th century, and still stands proud and majestic on the hills of Granada. Other signs of Arab influence can be seen in the Albaicín, one of the oldest areas in Granada. Perched on a hilltop it consists of steep cobblestoned paths and white-washed houses. Arab teahouses and Moroccan shops line the narrow street that leads up to the hilltop.
