Enforex Santiago de Cuba

The school has a joint with \"UNEAC\", a big organization in the field of Cuban culture. The average age of the students is 30 years.

Not only Cuba is a beautiful country, it also has a population that is very friendly and hospitable in spite of the economic difficulties in the last few years. It\'s a country of music, poetry, dancing, singing and chatting. People still have time for each other and for their guests. Cuba is like going back in the time of the 50\'s: old cars, a relaxed atmosphere, no hurry. Apart from that Cuba has a nice climate. All year round you can enjoy the beaches, water sports etc. With 420.000 inhabitants Santiago de Cuba is Cuba\'s second largest city and a strong rival to Havana in literature, music and politics. During the 19th century French settlers arrived and contributed to the melting pot of Haitian, African and Spanish influences that have made the Cuba\'s most Caribbean city. The University de Oriente is one of Cuba\'s leading educational institutions. Santiago de Cuba lies in a partly submerged valley of the Sierra Maestra and the city\'s large natural harbour has made it an important port for almost five centuries.

Classes are held either in the house of the host family or (in some cases with minigroup course) in one of the cultural centres.

We advise accommodation in host families. The selected host families live in spacious homes in a nice part of the town: Reparto Sueño. They offer single and double rooms with half board (breakfast and dinner). Double rooms are only possible for two persons travelling together. Dinner is between 18:30 - 20.00 h. Almost all rooms have air-conditioning and private bathroom. Laundry is not included. The host family can take care of the laundry for a small charge. Hotels are especially built for tourists. This accommodation is without food (bed only). Double rooms are only possible for two persons travelling together.

A wide variety of extra curricular activities are offered to all students. Some activities are free while others may require a fee.
