I'm told it's also good to do their Spanish language program, which qualifies you for cheap housing.

A friend studied there for a month, he said he was unprepared for a lot of advanced tremolo work that got thrown his way. I'd imagine that varies by teacher.

Have a blast!

I think you should just prepare yourself for having a good time. A one week stay will give you insight, and give you some things to practice later on. It´ll not change your playing on a short run but maybe it´ll change something on a longer run.

Prepare to have fun, and to enjoy Granada. The school is situated in a very beautifull spot.
