My most recent travel story, please sit back and relax.

España, Spain, the food, the scenery, the language and the different world I experienced, has filled my head ever since my first journey to Spain, five years ago. There was something special about that trip and it has never left me. It was my first holiday and tour without friends or family, with only the strangers at the start, who became friends along the way. 

After that journey I made a promise, to go back to Spain and to do another tour. You’re probably thinking my next tour to Spain is where I am now, but no, only last year I was able to go back to Spain with the same agency but on a different tour, exploring more areas of Spain. 

Something struck me then, like lightning, on the day while on my tour, I arrived in a city called Granada. Even though I’d loved my last time travelling around Spain, I’d never looked at Spain’s geography much, preferring to be surprised and full of wonder in every location we visited, but nothing filled me with such wonder and surprise as Granada’s greatest attraction, the Alhambra Palace. 

And I knew right then, I needed to come back. 

The Alhambra Palace wasn’t the only sight that made me feel like I needed to drag myself, tooth and nail, back across the sea as soon as the opportunity arose. The city was lit up with colours, not as busy nor as noisy as Barcelona or Madrid, but with a curiosity about every building that surrounded me, along with the same curiosity digging into me about the city as a whole, including the Sacromonte area, filled with white cool caves that people still live in to this day, known as the gypsy area. I needed to know more, to explore more, it was a feeling I rarely got when I visited new places, usually I was there for the experience, then everything was over, no need to go back. No need to feel the same air, the same buildings, the same experience again, but this place felt different.

All I knew were two important things. I wanted to properly start my journey of language, a deep dive into Spanish, and I needed to go back to Granada. 

Too my shock and surprise, I found the perfect place.

Escuela Delengua, in Granada.
