The ground floor houses the secretariat, a staff room, one class room and the director of studies' office. The first and second floor each hold three very spacious class rooms. the third and fourth floor are dedicated to student accommodation. The atmosphere at the school is intimate and relaxed. Above all, the building is centrally heated and air-conditioned: both indispensable features in Granada, where summer and winter temperatures can be extreme.
Just like all other don Quijote schools, don Quijote Granada is equipped with modern teaching aids such as computers and audio-visual equipment. The recreation room is based on the lower level. Here, you can watch TV or a video, listen music, read books or newspapers, play board games or darts, etc.

We have had students study a few weeks in Granada, spend a month in Salamanca, and then finish off their program with a two week stay in Barcelona!
The lessons at the don Quijote schools are lively and varied. The emphasis is on conversation but, of course, don Quijote also pays attention to grammar, reading, listening and writing. In the classes, the school makes use of overhead projectors, video and other audio-visual materials. To ensure that the lessons are as practical as possible, you will work with newspaper articles and learn how to conduct a telephone conversation in Spanish for example. Films and documentaries will also be viewed, songs will be listened to and menus read. In addition, you will give talks and take part in role-play situations.
