Linguaschools Granada
Linguaschools Granada is part of the Linguaschools Spanish language school network and offers Spanish courses in old-town Granada for adults and young adults from around the world. The school combines intensive Spanish courses, long-term study options, university pathway programs, accommodation, a Spanish for 50+ course and cultural activities with the personal atmosphere of a small boutique-style school.
GRANADA
Granada is one of Spain’s most atmospheric university cities, combining Andalusian culture, Moorish heritage, flamenco, tapas and a relaxed student rhythm. It is a city where Spanish learning can continue naturally outside the classroom, in old streets, local bars, cultural events and everyday conversations.
The city is best known for the Alhambra, the Albaicín, flamenco traditions and views of the Sierra Nevada, but Granada is also a very liveable place to study Spanish for several weeks or months. Its historic centre is walkable, the student atmosphere is lively, and daily life feels closely connected to local Andalusian culture.
Granada is especially well suited to students who want a smaller, more relaxed study-abroad experience than Madrid or Barcelona, while still enjoying a rich cultural life. Stay for a short course and you can discover the city’s main sights; stay longer and Granada can become a familiar home base for improving your Spanish, meeting people and experiencing life in Andalusia.

Granada, 18005, Calle San Antón, 41
If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! After my six-week intensive Spanish course, I left feeling like I had a whole new Spanish personality. I recommend spacing intensive weeks with lighter ones, as your brain needs time to process everything. The staff and teachers were attentive, patient, and genuinely caring—you feel it in every aspect of the school. The classes were creative, varied,
