What our students said about Las Palmas

Las Palmas is a good city that welcomes visitors with its culture, beaches, and historical charm. For example: Las Canteras Beach: This iconic beach is a must-visit. Casa de Colón (Columbus House): Dive into history at this museum, which Vegueta District (Old Town): Don’t miss the Santa Ana Cathedral and the Plaza de Santa Ana. Poema del Mar Aquarium: impressive aquarium. From colourful fish to mesmerizing jellyfish displays. Bandama Crater: outside the city. The hike to the rim of the Bandama Crater offers panoramic views of the island. Local Cuisine: Try dishes like “papas arrugadas” (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce and fresh seafood.

It's not a city you have to visit. But even if it is not a beautiful city, there are some nice places. Public transport is cheap, reliable and available all over the place - even to the south. Las Palmas has beautiful beaches and a great, warm sea. Temperatures are fairly constant at around 25°C, but even on hotter days a more or less strong wind provides cooling.

Las Palmas is not a beautiful city at first glance, but it does tend to grow on you. We were there in August, which is very humid, and it might be more pleasant in winter. The old city of Triana and Vegueta has considerable charm. We found the locals very friendly and tolerant of out attempts to learn the language.

Very beautiful beaches. Unfortunately, almost three quarters of the entire upper peninsula is military property and not really accessible for tourism, except for a small stretch above Playa de las Canteras. But there are many other tourist attractions.

Las Palmas is a nice city with lots of activities and a beautiful beach. As a woman I always felt safe, even at night. There are clubs, bars, restaurants, a beautiful old town and the rest of the island is easy to reach from Las Palmas.

Not a city for party people. But great for lying on the beach or hiking in nature all year round. Top public transport and an exceptionally safe city.

Nice places to visit. Beautiful coastline. Temperatures often too cool, like the sea water, whose temperature does not always invite bathing

What language school directors said about Las Palmas

According to the climatologist Thomas Whitmore of Syracuse University, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the city with the best climate in the world. The average temperature throughout the year is a very comfortable 21 degrees Celcius. Water sports can be practiced all year round. This cosmopolitan city has for centuries been a bridge between America and Europe. The character of the beautiful colonial buildings lining the narrow streets of its historical centre Vegueta gives faith of the legacy of its maritime history.
