Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: a unique Erasmus+ experience

Choosing Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for your Erasmus+ internship means much more than a professional opportunity. It means living an international experience in a city where learning, culture, and quality of life come together to create unforgettable memories.

Thanks to its privileged climate, with mild temperatures throughout the year and more than 300 days of sunshine, Las Palmas offers an outdoor lifestyle that is difficult to find in other European destinations. Its beaches, especially the iconic Las Canteras Beach, its natural surroundings, and its seaside atmosphere allow students to enjoy the city both during and after their internship hours.

Las Palmas is a modern, safe, and welcoming city with a rich cultural identity. Its historic neighbourhoods, such as Vegueta and Triana, its gastronomy, festivals, and traditions reflect the character of a city that has always been open to the world. Its multicultural atmosphere helps Erasmus students integrate quickly and meet people from different countries and cultures.

During their stay, students not only develop their professional skills in local companies, but also have the opportunity to improve their Spanish, discover Canarian culture, and enjoy an exceptional quality of life.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the perfect destination to combine professional training, personal growth, and an international experience that will stay with you forever.
