Founded in 1999, EDUCATRIP is a local organization that knows about being authentic, genuine and without a doubt gives off a more personal attitude to the study abroad experience.

Being a small organization, we give personalized attention to students and are always committed to help which allows us to provide personal attention to each and every one of our students. From the moment they arrive at the airport, we take every step to make their stay rewarding and enjoyable.

Students become fully immersed in the culture as they live with Spanish people and participate in their daily life.

Andalusia, in the South of Spain, offers an unforgettable experience with the hospitality and happiness of its people as well as an encounter with folkloric traditions and flamenco culture. Granada is a city with many centuries of history and with a great amount of Arabic and Catholic influence on its streets, monuments and traditions. Its biggest symbol is the Alhambra, which is one of the most visited monuments in the world.

As a university capital, it counts with more than 70,000 students. There is a young atmosphere, lots of entertainment activities and a great night life.

It also has a large gastronomic culture and social life around food. You will be able to enjoy some tapas with the pleasant company of the Granadinos.

Granada is about 45 minutes from the Tropical Coast and 30 minutes from the Ski Station of Sierra Nevada with an elevation of more than 3000 meters.br />
