iNMSOL organizes 5 activities per week, one per day. They could be:

ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN THE COURSE PRICE

We invite you to a city guided tour. Walk through the most interesting areas with a guide’s explanation. We will visit the most emblematic districts, the old areas, discovering curious details about the history and the legends of the origins of the towns: Albaicín, Realejo and Sacromonte quarters, historical city centre, legends’ tour, churches’ tour, etc.;
In order to improve the 4 language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), every week we organize workshops in writing, phonetics, music, etc.; or debates on current events; activities that will also put students in contact with the nowadays reality of Spain: Workshops and Monographs about Spanish and Latin-American history, culture, literature.
As a complement to the lessons, every week we offer tutorials about real situations (“En el Aeropuerto”, “En los grandes Almacenes”, etc.) and about grammar, dealing with the most difficult points of the Spanish language (“Ser y Estar”, “Preposiciones”, “Por y Para”, “Diferencias entre los pasados”, etc.)
ACTIVITIES NOT INCLUDED IN THE COURSE PRICE.

Visits to some museums, monuments and shows which you have to pay for, with a guide of the school: visit to the Alhambra and Generalife; visit to the House-Museum García Lorca in Huerta de San Vicente and in Fuente Vaqueros and to the House-Museum Manuel de Falla; visit to the Royal Chapel and the Cathedral; La Zambra Museum; Flamenco shows;
Tapas’ Tour: This is the most popular activity among students. Granada province is well-known all over the world for its tapas; it is not only a tradition, but also a way of life. Students will go to different bars, where for each drink you can taste one tapa for free (for example: a portion of tortilla española, potatoes, fish, meat in different styles, etc.). In this activity, students will pay for what they drink.
International dinners: We organize dinners in which both students and teachers will cook a traditional dish of their country or region. Everyone will taste different dishes and share traditions and recipes in SPANISH.
Cooking Workshops: you will learn how to cook the main dishes of the Spanish cookery and then enjoy tasting them together.

The programme of activities is NOT mandatory, so a minimum number of 3 participants is required for carrying them out.

Other comments I had chosen the school for an 'Over 50's' course. As it turned out, I was in a class with a 17 year old and a 36 year old. In the end, this didn't matter, as the pace was right for me, and the learning very individualised. I guess my only disappointment was a lack of social activities. There was an afternoon walking tour, but these are available anyway in Granada.I would recommend the school organise a tapas dinner (students can pay), or something similar.
