Back to school in June???
/Back to school in June?
One of the reasons that I return almost every year to Granada is that there is a special school that I get to attend. As a teacher in public schools in the US, during summer break I try to take professional development, sleep in a bit and even do some additional work.
Granada has a Spanish Language and Flamenco school called Carmen de Las Cuevas. I LOVE going here. Not only are their schedules set up to accommodate the most amount of hours possible within a week, but with a flexible start of every week, one can do as much as 7 hours a day! The office staff is amazingly helpful and patient, the Spanish teachers are always energetic and kind. The dance staff is comprised of professional dancers who you can see in many of the local tablaos.
When you walk up to the school from the outside one might be surprised about how beautiful it is on the inside. Not only is the school in a Carmen, but some of the classes are taught in the caves of Sacromonte! (See the attached photo) The views from the upper patios are unsurpassed!! I will always be a visitor to Spain, but this is one of the places that I feel most at home.
Here is more information about the school:
