Oh Venire, Don't get me started.

I was living in Granada last year studying, or maybe I should put that in quotes "Studying". I say that the two biggest lies anyone can tell their friends back home while they are in Spain are 1)that they are studying, and 2)that they are busy; because you'll never be studying and the pace of life in Granada is so slow compare our get up and go USA life, that it is damn near impossible to be busy.

I absolutely loved Granada. It is technically a small town, but it has a lot of big city feel to it. There are tons of places to go out at night, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Ski resort a 45 min bus ride away and the beautiful mediteranean about the same distance as well.

It does suffer a bit from the hoardes of Americans that all come over to study spanish, but it is my understanding that Salamanca is just as bad, and Sevilla even worse. But if you really try you can escape hanging out with all the Americans there and actually learn some spanish. Granada is probably one of the cheapest cities you can go to as well. I was living comfortably off of $400 US a month!

Either way you can't make a bad choice. You'll be in Spain - not much else matters.

Suerte.
