About iNMSOL
Spanish lessons here start in the Realejo district, a short walk from Granada's historic centre. iNMSOL is a small school with classes of up to 10 students and a weekly programme of cultural activities.
It has been an Instituto Cervantes accredited centre since 2002, and its teachers are all native Spanish speakers.
iNMSOL is right for you if you…
- Want personal attention in very small groups
- Prefer a traditional neighbourhood over tourist crowds
- Enjoy a relaxed, boutique school atmosphere
- Want Andalusian culture alongside your Spanish studies
Is iNMSOL right for you?
This small Realejo school suits you if you want personal attention and a relaxed, boutique atmosphere. If you prefer a large campus with a big-school feel, another school will serve you better.

Social life at iNMSOL
The student community is largely European, with Italians forming the biggest group and a steady mix of other nationalities alongside them. Most students travel solo. The age mix shifts through the year, with a younger crowd in summer and an older one off-season. Students get to know each other through the weekly activity programme, which ranges from walking tours to the conversation table and debate club, and through the free cultural workshops. Before you arrive, you can register online and receive a welcome folder with a Granada map and the weekly activity plan, so you know what is on from the start. These are the activities where most students end up talking to one another.
