School trips to Granada

About this trip
A school trip to Granada is a four-day programme in Andalusia for secondary school groups, organised in Spain by Viajes CumLaude. We have run school tours from our Barcelona office since 1996, and your group works with a named trip manager here and a 24-hour duty phone for the whole stay.
Granada puts two things side by side that rarely meet. The Alhambra and the Albaicín let students read Islamic, Christian and Jewish Granada in the same afternoon, while the Cathedral, the Royal Chapel and the Monastery of San Jerónimo cover the shift from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. The historic centre is compact; the Alhambra sits above it on the hill.
The programme also leaves the monuments twice. In the Andalusí plasterwork workshop students work the technique they have been looking at on the walls, and the Science Park gives the group a hands-on, modern day after three of history. A photo rally through the historic centre closes the sightseeing with something the students run themselves.
