Location

The city of Granada, one of the most Spanish beautiful cities, is located in the region of Andalusia and is in south-eastern Spain. Tourism and the University of Granada are its most important resources, and with only two hundred and fifty thousand permanent residents, the city is host to more than sixty thousand university students each year.  It is also one of the most popular destinations in the EU Erasmus programme. The Alhambra and the Albayzín, situated on the two parallel hills which follow the course of the River Darro are the historic areas with the greatest wealth of monuments. The city offers the visitor a large number of beautiful places where it is possible to enjoy its past Nazari culture.

Once again this year, the city of Granada will hold its most important spring festival during the week of June 12th-17th when the entire city will be filled with music and life.

Summer  School Venue

The University of Granada is an extremely old establishment which was founded in 1531.  With  a very large tradition in science and humanity courses, it has also incorporated a large number of technological courses over the last twenty years. The  E.T.S.I Informática y de Telecomunicación (ETSIIT) school is where students can study computer engineering and telecommunications engineering. This centre was created in 1992 and has very modern computer facilities. The Summer School will be held in this building.

The address of the ETSIIT is: Calle Periodista Daniel Saucedo Aranda s/n. This street connects the Periodista Eduardo Molina Fajardo Street and the Periodista Rafael Gago Palomo Street (see map ). It runs parallel to Avenida de Andalucia (on your right going from Granada towards the airport) and is on the outskirts of the city.

The ETSIIT is very well connected with the city centre and is on bus routes 6, 9, and 22 (see map, fullmap). All of these stop less than two hundred metres from the main ETSIIT entrance. It is also possible to walk and this will take around 20-30 minutes from Plaza del Triunfo.
