Giron is pretty touristy but you might like it.

In general, Spanish classes are much easier arranged in Ecuador than in Colombia. The classes in Colombia are either with schools (takes time to arrange), or just with invididuals which you can often arrange through the hostels (but may not be as thorough).

I live in Bucaramanga. There are no tourists here. You can learn Spanish everyday for free.

Or, you can enroll in a school. I know there are Universities and "Language Institutes" here that offer Spanish lessons. I don't have any specifics.

Best of Luck....

To see the typical nightlife in Bucaramanga, check out pegateya.com.
