Take advantage of the unique flavor Granada has to offer. CEA offers a variety
of local immersion activities to match your interests. Whether you enjoy music
concerts, clubs, sports, language exchanges or something
entirely different, our resident staff can help you get involved in the local
culture. Here are just some examples.
Churros con Chocolate
Students enjoy churros con chocolate with local Spanish students where they can practice their Spanish.
Tea House at the Albaycin
Having tea with typical Arab pastries at the Albaycin transports students to a Middle Eastern atmosphere and provides them with a better understanding of the culture of southern Spain.
Tapas
Granada is famous for its tapas and there is a variety of places at which to enjoy them. CEA will organize a tapas night during which students can sample several delicious treats.
Flamenco at the Zambras
The Zambras are the caves in which Flamenco shows are held, located in the Sacromonte, the unique gypsy neighbourhood facing the Alhambra.
Arab Baths
Water is essential for the Arab culture. Students learn the meaning of the Arab Bath ritual where the murmur of water intermingles with a peaceful atmosphere and the simple refinement inherited from Al-Andalus.
Volunteer Opportunities
Students can volunteer with several organizations, such as AGRAFEM-COMARES, Association that helps people with mental disorders in Granada and the Sociedad Protectora de Animales y Plantas San Francisco de Asis, which protects animals and plants in Granada. We always try to obtain a balance between the needs of the NGO’s and the requests of our students. This is the reason why we are always exploring new volunteer opportunities to fulfill the demands of local associations and students alike.
