During the programme students will follow the footsteps of the poet Federico García Lorca in Granada.
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.

The Argentinian poet and composer Enrique Santos Discepolo referred to tango as "un pensamiento triste que hasta se puede bailar". The passion for tango emerged in the late 18th century as a result of changing cultural and social influences in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Today, tango is one of the most popular types of dances in the world, and while a century ago, tango was a simple and local dance practised by the poorer Latin American population, it is nowadays a complex and fiery dance.

Through paseos y rutas, one is able to admire the impressive environment of the Sierra Nevada National Park. This protected area was declared a National Park in 1999 and is, with its lakes and glaciers, a region full of natural contrasts. It is divided into two main areas - one which forms the high ridge of mountains, clearly marked by glacial action and with little developed vegetation, and another which is characterised by less severe peaks that abound with all types of flora and fauna of the Mediterranean mountain range. Here you will find the highest peaks on the Iberian Peninsula: Mulhacén (3,482 m) and Veleta (3,392 m). Over 60 species of birds live in the Sierra Nevada, not only the typical giants of the high mountains like the golden eagle and the griffin vulture, but also mountain birds like the golden oriole and the hoopoe. The easiest mammals to spot are the wild mountain goats as they hop nimbly up and down the most incredible precipices, but more patient observers will be able to see foxes, badgers, wild cats, as well as a great variety of snakes and lizards.
