Granada - near the foothills of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains. We spent a day and a half touring the Alhambra. It was amazing. A highlight was seeing a flamenco performance in a cave carved into the steep hillside of the Sacromonte district. We were mezmerized by the song and dance of this group of four women, a guitarrist and a singer. View our

Our 1 week intensive language study program at
Quorum school in Nerja was a fun way to get to refresh of our Spanish skills during our travels. We lived in a student apartment in a quiet neighborhood 10 minutes walk from school. There were 8 students in our intermediate class- 3 Germans, an Australian, an American and a Hungarian. We had grammar study in the morning and conversation in the afternoon. We took part in the tortilla espanola cooking class, the lecture on Spanish cuisine, and a dinner at *Mexican* restaurant. I have never known a real Mexican restaurant that serves gazpacho, but we are in Spain afterall.
Nerja was a very pleasant surprise! A charming coastal town with beautiful beaches nestled between rocky outcroppings,
incredible caves formed millions of years ago.
