The weekend has come and with it the desire to rest and have fun. If you do not have plans yet, we encourage you to spend this week enjoying a bit of everything. Check out the blog of our Spanish school El Rincón del Tándem to know more 😉
This weekend we encourage you to jump from one plan to another in order to enjoy a little of everything. Gastronomy, cinema, live music, dances …
Therefore, we have selected some events that will make you know the cultural richness of Valencia. That is, a combination of local traditions, emerging cultural expressions and arts and customs from migrant communities.
Let’s see it in detail!
