Spanish Schools in San Jose
When you come to learn Spanish in San Jose, Costa Rica,
you'll find yourself in a sometimes chaotic city, full of
traffic, noise and pollution. But don't let that put you off -
in spite of its problems, San Jose is still considered one of
the safest and least violent cities in the whole of Latin
America. It's located in the middle of the Central Valley,
surrounded by lush green mountains - so when you're tired of
the traffic, just look up and you'll get some wonderful views.
The city also has quite a number of pretty parks, where you can
escape from the hustle and bustle - and perhaps do your Spanish
homework!
Another great attraction for students who are thinking of
coming to learn Spanish in San Jose is its wonderful climate.
The city lies at 1170 m above sea level and this is the reason
why its temperature is a constant 18 - 22º year-round, a kind
of eternal spring. The only thing to watch out for is the rainy
season, which runs from May to November, and even that is
perfectly bearable.

San Jose and its Attractions
The city itself has a population of around 350,000
inhabitants, although the Greater Metropolitan Area has almost
2.5 million inhabitants. As a city to learn Spanish, San Jose
has many other advantages. The city has a very lively night
life, with lots of clubs and bars, several theaters and a range
of discos and dance salons, as well as a wide range of
excellent international restaurants - always welcome anywhere
you want to go to learn Spanish!
In San Jose you'll smell coffee all over - the city
basically owes its present prosperity to the coffee business.
Indeed, if you're looking for something typically local to take
home with you as a present, you could do much worse than a few
packets of coffee. Although Costa Rican coffee is exported all
over the world, it just seems to taste better here! You'll find
lots of coffee plantations all around the city, and you'll find
a visit to one of them an interesting experience.
If you're more interested in the arts, you'll find that San
Jose has some of the best and most modern museums in Central
America. Especially interesting are the Jade Museum and the
Centro Nacional de Arte y Cultura. And each year, in November,
the city celebrates its Arts Festival, with theater, dance and
folklore performances, as well as lots of concerts and
exhibitions.
It is also important to know that if you ever get tired of
learning Spanish in San Jose you can get away from the city
very easily. More important, since San Jose is more or less in
the center of the country, you can get almost everywhere in
Costa Rica relatively quickly. You'll be able to visit
volcanoes, go white-water rafting, explore a cloud forest, walk
round a butterfly garden, and lots more.
