“I have been studying Spanish for four years, in many different countries. I will tell anyone that asks that the instruction at Baja California Language School is as good as it gets. And the city of Ensenada is completely safe. Tourists arrive, literally, by the cruise ship load and walk the streets in perfect safety. I have travelled to Ensenada by boat, by car -- even by bicycle, and I have always felt perfectly safe. There is a wonderful “tourist district” with shops full of bargains and friendly vendors. So, whoever reads this, please don’t be put off by the bad publicity that other parts of Mexico have been receiving. It is exaggerated, and deals almost entirely with problems that people involved in the drug trade are having. People coming to Ensenada to study Spanish are as safe as they will be on any college campus in the USA.”
