Granda
Palaces gardens and mountains blend like a dream
The city radiates an undeniable charm — with its magnificent Moorish palaces, grand Christian cathedrals, unique cave homes, and hidden cobblestone streets nestled at the foot of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada.
Mexican poet Francisco de Icaza perfectly captured this feeling when he wrote, “Give him alms, woman, for there is nothing in life more pitiful than being blind in Granada.”
Beyond its stunning history, architecture, and beauty, what truly makes Granada an ideal destination for students is its people — the warm, easygoing Andalusians, known for their friendliness and exceptional hospitality toward foreigners.
Our advice? Step outside, get lost, and explore — that’s the best way to experience Granada.
