Spanish lessons in Tenerife

For all the millions who visit Spain each year there are a million reasons why. While for one person it makes the perfect beach holiday, for another it’s the fantastic history and culture that wins each time…and for many it’s the irresistible draw of the tapas and sangria lifestyle, lazy lunches on sun-filled terraces and fine wining and dining long into the night that clinches it. Whatever your whim, you can be sure that somewhere in Spain will cater to it. And it’s not just what’s on the surface: the people themselves exude a zest for life that’s both contagious and embracing. From the oldest mountain village to the busiest city centre, you can’t fail to be swept up in the arms of this country of multiple personalities.

Year-round sunshine and long, sandy beaches have for years been attracting tourists to Tenerife. Perhaps lesser known is its appeal as a destination to learn Spanish. But on second thoughts, why not... what could be better than finishing class and having nothing more to do than check out the superb natural environment all around you? From the snow-covered Teide mountains inland to the wonderfully shaped lava figures of the fertile Orotava valley, from the near-desert areas of the south to the subtropical valleys laden with banana and palm trees, there's much more to Tenerife that the holiday brochures let on.
