ESENGRA

The Main Specialist School of La Graña (ESENGRA) and the "ANTONIO ESCAÑO NAVAL SCHOOL" both based in Ferrol, in north-western Spain, are the two “Escuelas Militares” (Literally Naval Schools) where almost 100% of all of the sub-officers, technicians, sailors and other crew of the Spanish Navy receive their training.
