FU International Academy:
Our language school is situated in Puerto de la Cruz which was once a small fishing village but is now a popular tourist destination. It is renowned for its charm, its friendly people and of course its mild, sub-tropical climate. We are situated in the quiet residential district of La Paz opposite the famous Botanical Garden. The centre of Puerto de la Cruz is just 15 minutes away.
The town is situated on the noth coast in the Valley of La Orotava, the greenest and most beautiful area of the island. In the town of Puerto de la Cruz you will find a large pedestrian zone, plenty of restaurants, hotels, bars and shops.
As well as its landscaped beaches (Playa Jardín and Martiánez) Puerto de la Cruz offers lots of attractions which are well worth a visit e.g. the historic Botanical Garden, Loro Park with its parrots, dolphins and whales, and the lush Taoro Park. The Plaza del Charco is the centre of the town and is a meeting point for Canarians and tourists alike.
Not far away is the town of La Orotava, a designated heritage site of particular historical and artistic interest. Visitors will enjoy its narrow cobbled streets and the atractive wooden balconies which are special feature of Canarian architecture.
The academy has excellent facilities. There are 10 bright classrooms, a
lecture hall for up to 60 people (with video beamer and Dolby-Surround
System) as well as three computer rooms with High-Speed Internet connections.
The classrooms, coffee bar and sun terrace extend over 2,000 sq.m. and provide a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere in which to learn and relax.
