Granada Culture

Granada Culture

A brimming cultural center since its early days under Moorish rule, Granada is celebrated for its multi-faceted cultural scene in which fantastic museums, stunning architecture, feisty flamenco shows and incredible festival celebrations all play magnificent roles.

Flamenco
Andalusia, where Spain's historic gypsy community thrived over the centuries, is undoubtedly the place to experience this passionate art form, which emerged from the passionate gypsy hearts and souls. In fact, many of Spain's most heralded flamenco singers, dancers and guitar players have come straight from Granada's traditonal gypsy quarter, Sacromonte. Today you can still visit the caves - yes, Sacromonte is a neighborhood of cave dwellings - for a truly unique flamenco experience!

***BONUS! If you want to learn how to dance flamenco, Granada - home to a strong flamenco heritage - is a great place to do it! At Enforex Granada, you can sign up for our Spanish + Flamenco course, which combines Spanish language classes with 8 weekly flamenco lessons with real flamenco professionals from one Granada's most respected schools.

Traditions
Granada, located in the southern region of Andalucía, maintains the typical Spanish traditions of popular imagination. Along with passionate flamenco shows in the former gypsy neighborhood and tradition-laden bullfights, Granada is one of the few cities where you can still get free tapas with each drink you order!
