La Orotava and La Laguna
Both cities, with colonial architecture and cobbled streets steeped in history, are perfect for strolling and learning about the history of the Canary Islands. San Cristóbal de La Laguna is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to universities, libraries, and cultural spaces that often organize workshops and meetings for students.
Mount Teide
You can't visit Tenerife without climbing Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. You can take a guided tour in Spanish, learn vocabulary related to geology and astronomy (there are scientific observatories), and enjoy one of the most impressive volcanic landscapes in Europe.
Traditional festivals in the villages
During your stay, you may come across a local festival: pilgrimages, processions, craft fairs, or gastronomic events. Participating in these celebrations is a natural and fun way to listen to and practice Spanish in informal contexts.
Gastronomy during your language trip to Tenerife
One of the greatest pleasures of a language trip to Tenerife is getting to know the local cuisine. On this island, eating is also learning, because the typical dishes are deeply linked to the local identity and popular language.
Papas arrugadas con mojo. The most emblematic dish of the islands. The potatoes are cooked with salt until the skin wrinkles and are served with red (spicy) or green (cilantro-based) mojo sauce.
Gofio, stews, and fresh fish. Gofio is a roasted cereal flour typical of the Canary Islands and is used in many recipes. Stews (thick soups) and local fish, such as cherne or vieja, are part of a simple but rich diet. Eating in guachinches (traditional taverns) is a great way to blend in and practice the language with the owners and other diners.
Sweets and tropical fruits. Palm honey, Canary Island bananas, quesadillas, and rosquetes are just a few examples of the sweet treats you can try while learning vocabulary related to desserts, eating habits, and popular expressions.
A transformative experience
A language trip to Tenerife is an ideal opportunity to improve your Spanish. But it's also a way to experience the language from the inside, with your feet in the sand, your backpack full of memories, and your mind open to new connections.
Whether you come alone or join a group, you'll discover that Tenerife isn't just an island, it's a place that invites you to participate, communicate, and enjoy every moment.
