Program Description

GRAND CANARIA SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES
Gran Canaria School of Languages is in the capital city, Las Palmas. This Spanish Language School is housed in a modern building in the commercial district not far from the beach and near the students' lodging place. The first floor of the two story building has a "Canarian" style patio that is used as a lounge and connects offices and classrooms. Additional classrooms, a kitchen and a terrace which serves as a cafeteria are located on the second floor. Breakfast and lunch consisting of mainly Canarian and Spanish cuisine are served at the cafeteria on class days. Special requests for vegetarian meals will be considered.

GRAND CANARY ISLAND
Grand Canary island, called the Hawaii of the Atlantic, is neither cold in winter (average 67 degrees F) nor hot in summer (75 to 85 degrees F). Its long beaches allow the enjoyment of all sports year round. Two million tourists per year flood the island, giving it a cosmopolitan and international atmosphere. Grand Canary island is connected by air with all main European and American cities by scheduled and charter flights. People are relaxed and friendly.

Las Palmas is a very busy and colorful port. The old town is a monument to Andalusian architecture. Great restaurants, sidewalk cafes and great shopping will provide you alternatives for your leisure time.
