Activities for our Spanish students
Galfir offers a quality year-round program of cultural, social and sporting activities. Some of these activities are free of charge, while others are paid (prices are very affordable). Both cultural and open-air activities are offered.
Following are a few of the open-air activities we offer. Please note that the vast majority of them will be take place on the weekend:
El Teide: The Teide is the highest mountain in Spain and the third-largest volcano in the world. A cable car provides transportation to its 3,715 meter-high summit, which offers lovely views of Tenerife and, on clear days, the other islands. For those interested in staying overnight, booking must be made a few days in advance at the Altavista lodging (there is a maximum stay of one night). Overnight stays are independent from the school-sponsored trip to El Teide’s summit.- Loro Parque: This famous zoo, in Puerto de la Cruz, is the Canary Islands’ biggest tourist attraction and truly unique the world over.
- Masca: A beautiful, 400 metre-long virgin beach situated in an isolated area of Tenerife. It has black sand and very calm waters. Access is by ship or foot. Not recommended for people afraid of heights.
- Barranco del Infierno: A protected area located in Adeje, south of Tenerife, it is one of the most beautiful nature parks in Tenerife. The route concludes – after a winding passage through chestnut trees and the beautiful scenery of southern Tenerife – in an impressive 560 metre-high waterfall.
Some of the Cultural Activities arranged at Galfir include:
