Spanish Refresher Course + Federico García Lorca (2 weeks)
We follow the footsteps of the poet Federico García Lorca in Granada.
Course description
This programme is aimed at non-native teachers of Spanish who teach Spanish abroad. Federico García Lorca was born in a small village near Granada in 1898. He was a Spanish poet, dramatist, theatre director and an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. On the 19th of August 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, he was murdered by members of the Fascist group the 'Falange'. García Lorca's assassination was part of a campaign of mass executions to eliminate all the supporters and allies of the Popular Front. Later, the Franco regime placed a general ban on Federico García Lorca's work. Consequently, his plays Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba were prohibited during the Franco years. Lorca is now universally recognised as one of the greatest Spanish poets of the century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age. During our programme we organise historical walks in Granada as well as a guided visit to the Lorca Museum.
