Spanish Courses in Gran Canaria
Below you can find further information about Gran Canaria and a small introduction to the Spanish courses arranged by Gran Canaria University, the island's main university. For complete information about the programs offered by the university, facts and information about the school and the different aspects about the program please see the link below.
Facts: Gran Canaria is one of the seven Canary Islands (the second in size, after Tenerife), which are located in the south-west of Spain and north-west of Africa, directly in front of the coast of Morocco. The main city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is the seventh most populated in Spain, with 400.000 inhabitants. These islands share both Spanish and Latin American cultures due to the great movement of people generated between the islands and South America in the last centuries. Being of volcanic origin, Gran Canaria has a surface area of 1,560 square kilometres and 236 kilometres of coastline. Gran Canaria enjoys a spring climate all year round with average annual temperatures that fluctuate between 18 and 25 degrees centigrade. However, the topography of the island has given rise to a great variety of microclimates and landscapes within the island. The sea is equally warm, with temperatures fluctuating between 18 ºC in the winter months, and 22 ºC during the rest of the year. This, together with the estimated annual rate of 2,700 hours of sunlight, allows you to make the most of the day, whether you are on the beach, playing a sport, on a day trip or enjoying an outdoor activity.

Gran Canaria is the perfect option for those who would like to learn Spanish in an environment that has mild temperatures and a mixture of Spanish and Latin American cultures. The beautiful natural surroundings and the subtropical location also make Gran Canaria a good choice. Although there are some tourists in the main city of Las Palmas, most of them are located in another part of the island (like Playa del Ingles), so people studying here will interact only with natives (and their classmates, of course).
