Granada ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Granada
What our students said about Granada
Granada is an excellent city to visit. It has a rich history and cultural heritage. The Alhambra must go. Beyond the architecture and history, Granada's setting is also quite beautiful. The city is nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, providing a dramatic backdrop. And the mild Mediterranean climate makes it pleasant to explore the city's sights and landmarks year-round. Overall, I think Granada is a fantastic destination, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in Spanish history and culture.
I was hesitant to go because I saw on the news that the temperature was up to 38 °C. However, it was more comfortable than in other cities, as the temperature drops enough in the mornings and evenings to be cool enough to wear a long-sleeved shirt.
Great city, many things to do. Natural places to go, lot of opportunities to explore historical sites, and simply a very authentic city and chill to live in. I could easily do everything I normally did
I have been visiting Granada since 1995 and it is one of my favourite cities. It is wonderful, exciting, so much to do and very beautiful in parts. People are friendly and straight talking, love it.
This city surpassed my expectations, and I enjoyed exploring historical sites, as well as participating in hikes and mountain bike excursions in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains.
Granada is a fabulous city. It's got a bit of everything and it's very affordable. The transport links are good and the staff at Linguaschools provided great tips and suggestions.
I always feel safe there, it is a well-organized city and you quickly become familiar with this city. I have been to Granada many times and will come again more often.
Granada is a very beautiful city with old buildings, churches, attractive Albaycin and Alhambra, nice tapas bars and cafés. Friendly people
I wasn't so much out at night except for dinner, but I felt very safe in the city. I was also not on trips because my foot was sore.
It is a small town, but it has everything. It is convenient, and the people and atmosphere are very friendly and easy to live in.
What language school directors said about Granada
With its world-famous Alhambra, rich culture and lively nightlife, it is the ideal place for both studying and taking a holiday.
Granada is a cultural town: a Moorish city surrounded by historic buildings; it is a place for the Flamenco finders and lovers, and student-based city.
It's an amazing city with centuries of history and a multicultural atmosphere, also reflected in its different areas. Close to mountains and the sea.

Staff were superb, very friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They seemed genuinely interested in student welfare. The location in central Granada was perfect with cafés, bars, restaurants and sights all within minimal walking distance. There was a sunny terrace on which we could chat to fellow students during breaks.
The staff are what really make this place special. I would return without hesitation and would recommend the school to others.
