Celei: Centro de Lenguas y Educación Intercultural, under which representatives of Spain, Romania, Greece and Bulgaria have participated; their opinion was a very positive one. The participants have worked on themes such as the creation of itineraries and cultural activities in Granada, the development of social networks and specific technology, the city as a source of inspiration for poets and writers, the discovery of its magical and folklore environment, and its role as historical and cultural center.
