In order to guarantee the running of the course we need a minimum of 4 students. When there are less than the minimum number of students in class, the number of group lessons will be reduced proportionally 3 students = 3 lessons per week, 2 students = 2 lessons per week. The maximum number of students per class is 10. The duration of 1 class is 55 minutes. It is necessary to have an attendance of at least 80% in order to receive the certificate. On public holidays, there will be no classes. Half of the missed classes will be compensated during the course.

 

 

At our schools we like to take the class to the streets. Because isn’t that why we all learn Spanish…to communicate with people. With the good weather in Granada, a nice atmosphere among the students and friendly “Granadinos”, it is very easy to enjoy the process of learning Spanish.

The interaction with the people of Granada is intense and we immerse ourselves in this way in their culture and customs. Creating moments that we will always remember.

The students at our school in San Sebastián had a wonderful day when they went to Zumaia beach to see the amazing flysch (a sequence of rock layers that progress from deep-water to shallow-water shales and sandstones).  They felt like actors of Game of Thrones for a second as Zumaia is one of the beaches used in this famous series.

Along the years, tapas and pinchos have become a form of national identification.

Indeed, nowadays, when you hear tapas or pinchos, you automatically imagine yourself at a terrace in Spain, sipping a nice Sangria or Tinto de Verano, while eating a mini snack.

But what is the difference between tapas and pinchos?

The Real Academia Española de la Lengua (REA) defines a tapa, like ‘a small portion of any food served to accompany a drink’ and defines a pincho like ‘a portion of food served, sometimes with a cocktail stick, as an aperitif’.

Both are small portions of food, but the difference is that a tapa is normally just a smaller sized portion of a main dish, served in a plate, which you eat with cutlery.

The pincho is normally served on a piece of bread or other, served usually with a cocktail stick which you can eat in one or two bites.

So if it is a mini bite of tortilla on a piece of bread, we can call it a pincho. But if it is a tortilla on a plate that you have to eat with a fork, then we can call it a tapa.

The 6th of January, the day of the 3 kings, ‘los Reyes Magos’, commemorates the moment when the 3 oriental kings Melchor, Gaspar and Balstazar met Jesus.

It is an important celebration in Spain, but also in Latin America. I

Every year, all the children in Spain write a letter to the kings exposing which gifts they wish and leave some candies for them in the nativity scene.

In Argentina, the children write the kings also a letter, but instead of sending it, they leave it in one of their shoes that they leave for the Kings to find. So the Kings know from the amount of shoes how many kids are in the house.

In Puerto Rico the children would also gather grass, hay or straw to place it in shoe-boxes for the Magi’s horses or camels to eat.

Traditionally, the families prepare or buy a ‘Roscón or Rosca de reyes’, which is a ring formed and orange blossom flavored cake, usually decorated with dry and candied fruits.

Also, most of the towns in Spain and in Mexico offer a parade, where the kings throw candies to the children in the street and create a magical moment.
