Granada’s location in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains of Southern Spain, coupled with its extraordinary history, its incredible Moorish architecture (especially the Alhambra castle), and its happening nightlife make it one of Spain’s biggest tourist destinations. It also makes it an ideal place to learn the Spanish language as it relates to the Tourism industry. AmeriSpan’s 4-week intensive Spanish tourism program aims to familiarize Tourism Industry Professionals and students with common vocabulary and expressions used in Spanish Tourism through the analysis of various PR/marketing materials as well as through site visits and guest speakers. A minimum intermediate level of Spanish proficiency is required for this program.
Information about Granada, Spain (Click to view)
This Andalusian city of 260,000 inhabitants is situated in southern Spain among the snow-covered mountains of the Sierra Nevada, the desert landscape of Tabernes, and the beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol. It is also the third largest university city and exudes a lively atmosphere, from Flamenco in the streets to year-round cultural programs in music, dance, theater, and cinema. The Alhambra is here, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The city's southern-style Spanish architecture is as heavily influenced by the Moors as its way of life is influenced by Andalusian Flamenco and dance traditions.
From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
Participants: Tour operators, travel agents, hotel/restaurant managers, and students. Mixed European, Asian and American.
Other: Located in a safe, quiet area in the city center, just a stone’s throw from the cathedral and within walking distance of the Alhambra, our school in Granada occupies an entire five-story, air-conditioned building. The school is light and airy, with lots of windows and balconies overlooking the street. The atmosphere at the school is intimate and relaxed. In addition, there is a recreational area to relax with TV, newspapers, and coffee.
