A little bit about me

Hello my name is Alejandro but everybody call me Alex.

I live in Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). I'm 23 years old and I'm studying architectural (design?)  engineering (?). Also I studied what we call in Spain "Superior-level Training Cycle" about renewable energies, I'm not sure if that kind of studies exist in other countries, is like a post highschool studies with a lower level than university and it lasts 2 years. Also I'm studying English in an academy and I'm planning to do the FCE in June.

I live in a small city called Candelaria wich is in the South-east coast of Tenerife. It is really nice because you can go from the beach to the mountains in 15 minutes. What I like the most is that it is very quiet and family oriented ; it has a population of 20.000 people but when you go out you feel like you know  everybody. Also I like the sea and go fishing so I can go wherever I want.

The weather is pretty nice during the whole year. It is mostly sunny and the temperature ranges  between 18-26 degrees in winter and 26-32 degrees in summer but sometimes  in summer it rises  to 38 - 40 degrees but that  is not very usual. Due to the global warming we are getting used to tropical storms during the autumn mainly. This year it rained a lot, and in 2005 there was a big Storm called Delta wich was horrible.

Thanks for reading and I would appreciate  if someone would my mistakes.

My regards.

Hi Alejandro

You are lucky to live in such a lovely place.I have never visited Tenerife,but I was in Gran Canaria some years ago for my wedding anniversary and it was a truly beautiful place.My visit was in December,and it was great to see the snow on the mainland when we were sitting in shorts and T shirts!

Hello my name is Alejandro, but everybody calls me Alex. 

I live on the Canary Islands, on Tenerife. I'm 23 years old, and I'm studying Civil Engineering. I have also studied Renewable Energy, in what is called a "Superior-Level Training Cycle." I'm not sure if that type of training exists elsewhere, but it's a 2-year post-secondary school training program which is at a lower than college level. I'm also studying English in an academy, and I'm planning to test for my First Certificate in English (FCE) in June.

I live in a small city called Candelaria which is on the southeast coast of Tenerife. It's nice because I can go from the beach to the mountains in 15 minutes. What I like the most is that it is quiet and good for families. It has a population of 20,000 and when I go out I feel like I know everyone. I like the sea and fishing, and I go fishing often.

The weather is nice all year. It is mostly sunny, and the temperature ranges between 18-26 degrees celsius in winter and 26-32 degrees celsius in summer. Sometimes in summer the temperatures rise to 38 - 40 degrees, but this is rare. Due to "Global Warming," we are getting used to tropical storms during autumn. This year it rained a lot, but in 2005 extratropical storm "Delta" struck, and that was horrible.

Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate it if someone would correct mistakes.

Warm regards.
