About Gran Canaria
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 18º C and 25º C 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 18º C in the winter months, and 22º C 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.

Recommendations
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 other parts of the island (like Playa del Ingles), so students will interact only with locals (and their classmates, of course).
