| The
beauty of the towns where the East meets the West Granada, population: 300,000, is a very lively university town with over 85,000 students from all over Spain and a variety of other countries. In Southern Spain, at the foot of the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains, Granada is known world-wide for the Alhambra, the Palace of Charles V, the Monastery of San Jeronimo, The Royal Chapel, the Cathedral or the Palace of Madraza (where one of the oldest Islamic universities on European soil once stood). Here in Granada we enjoy a continental climate with a long warm season, lasting from May until the end of October. The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures in Granada provides the city with a unique beauty. Granada also boasts several famous international dance, music, Flamenco, theater, jazz and Tango Festivals every year. The daily life in the old part of town takes place in small shops and bars, open-air markets and squares shaded by trees. Spain's world-renowned poet Federico García Lorca describes his hometown as a place with plenty of time to relax and people who are honest, sensitive and passionate. Through the town of Granada, CEGRÍ provides the strong socio-cultural background that is necessary for full foreign language immersion.
