Study Spanish in TENERIFE
|
"Tenerife is much more than sun and beaches, it is cultural mixture and above all the bridge to Latin America.
You will live its pleasant temperatures throughout the year, forget about the winter and enjoy the sun from every corner.
You will fancy the musical accent of its people that reminds to the 'guanches' who inhabited the island long ago.
Share the view of the magnificent 'Teide' which seems to guard the island from the heights. As soon as you arrive, you will find it difficult to leave".
Salomé Torres
Head of Studies of don Quijote Tenerife

The Canary Islands are Spain's tropical paradise. The island of Tenerife is the largest of the Canary archipelago, 2.053 square kilometers.
The capital of the island is Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which has 220.000 inhabitants. It is a cheerful, light-filled, modern city.
Tenerife has an extremely varied plant life, large, wooded mountains, extensive areas where banana, tomato, potato and other agricultural products are grown.
The beaches with soft, clean sand are sometimes black and sometimes golden.
The island of eternal spring because of its peerless climate is full of huge contrasts and has a great variety of scenery in the different regions.
A mountain chain runs through its centre from Anaga to Teno and on both of its slopes there are large, exuberantly fertile valleys, among them specially La Orotava and Gumar.
In the heart of the chain there is a gigantic, natural crater, called Las Cañadas del Teide, which is about 29 km across and has officially been declared a National Park.
It lies over 2.000 meters above sea level. North of the crater stands El Pico del Teide, a 3.718 m. high mountain, which is the highest point in Spain. It is snow covered in the winter and marks the island with its unique silhouette.
The don Quijote school is located in one of the most important and beautiful sites of Tenerife. Due to its location you can easily reach the libraries, museums, and other cultural sites.
Just minutes from beautiful beaches and recreational opportunities. Martianez beach and excellent natural pools are found on Colón Avenue.

Carnival in Tenerife (February - March)!, this world-wide famous festivity takes place all over the island, but it shines with all its splendor and magnificence in Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz.
Carnival is alive on the streets, with groups and processions singing, dancing and cheering this Year's 'Queen of the carnival' and her royal retinue.
On Carnival's Wednesday, Puerto de la Cruz celebrates the most relevant parade, the 'Entierro de la Sardina', a giant procession symbolizing the burial of a crowned hand-made sardine.
Puerto de la Cruz has international attractions, excellent restaurants and cafés as well as other facilities, which all contribute to giving it a busy air. Numerous national and international congresses and conventions are held there.
The island is very well communicated, especially with the Spanish peninsula, by numerous sea an air links. There are flights to Lanzarote every day from Madrid, several times a week from Barcelona, Bilbao, Málaga and Seville.
There are also many links from this main island to the rest of the Canaries, especially between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with several air and sea links/ferry services every day.
