Our partner school in Playa del Carmen is absolutely beautiful. Playa del Carmen is a city on the coast of the Caribbean Sea in the north east of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The city is the seat of the Solidaridad municipality. It is the third-largest city in Quintana Roo, after Cancún and Chetumal.
Today Playa del Carmen, or just 'Playa' as it is colloquially referred to, is the centre of the Riviera Maya concept, which covers from Cancún to Tulum and the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve. Playa is a stop for several cruise ships, which dock at the nearby Calica quarry docks, about six miles south of the city. A Mayan-themed "ecological theme park", Xcaret (pronounced "e-shcaret") is a popular tourist destination just south of the town. Tourist activity in Playa del Carmen centres on the Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian walkway located just one block inland from the beach, and lined with boutique hotels, shops, bars and restaurants. |
I did my Spanish Course at Alhambra Institute and we were like one big family there. All of the teachers were always there to help us, their explanations were very clearly to understand, and the classes were very interesting.
