Full immersion Spanish courses are offered at the Don Quijote Spanish School  in the city of Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife. The City:  Population: 38,500 (Island of Tenerife: 220,000). Location: Tenerife is the largest island of the Canary archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.  Tenerife is called “the island of eternal spring”, the average temperature here is 27 degrees Celsius. A mountain chain runs through its centre. In the heart of this chain, there is a gigantic crater: Teide (the highest peak in Spain). It offers one of the most spectacular landscapes of the world. Tenerife has beaches with soft, clean sand that is sometimes black (from its volcanic origin) and sometimes golden. The carnival of Tenerife is a world-famous festivity and takes place all over the island but it shines with all its splendor in Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz.

Puerto de la Cruz has international attractions, excellent restaurants, cafés, and other facilities which contribute to its busy air. Numerous national and international congresses and conventions are held there. The island has good communications, especially with the Spanish peninsula, by numerous sea and air links.
