Spanish Language and Culture Programme + Way of St James 2026

Buenas tardes:

Soy Ramón Clavijo, director de Academia Iria Flavia, una escuela de español acreditada por el Instituto Cervantes que funciona desde 1994, en Santiago de Compostela.

Me dirijo a usted para presentarle una propuesta académica y experiencial pensada específicamente para grupos de estudiantes universitarios de Estados Unidos interesados en perfeccionar su español y profundizar en la cultura hispana en un contexto único: Santiago de Compostela y el Camino de Santiago.

📍Santiago, Patrimonio de la Humanidad y destino histórico de peregrinación, ofrece un espacio único para el aprendizaje lingüístico, el diálogo intercultural y el crecimiento personal de los jóvenes.

Nuestro programa combina:

Una semana de ruta guiada y comentada a través de El Camino de Santiago +

Dos o tres semanas de curso de "Lengua y cultura españolas" en nuestras aulas de Santiago de Compostela.


📍A su llegada a Santiago, los alumnos continúan su inmersión con un curso intensivo de lengua y cultura en nuestras aulas. Las clases se complementan con talleres y actividades culturales (visita guiada por el casco histórico, taller de cocina, baile latino, visitas a diferentes museos, etc.), de modo que el aprendizaje no se limita al aula, sino que se extiende a la vida diaria de la ciudad.

📍Este entorno académico y social es especialmente adecuado para estudiantes de programas de Spanish, Hispanic Studies, International Studies o similares.

Puede descargar la información en los siguientes enlaces:

Y si quiere enriquecer o modificar el programa de actividades durante la estancia en la ciudad, puede descargar estos documentos con todas las posibilidades:

Reciba un cordial saludo,

Join us tomorrow for Latin American Film Nights at LACC

Dec 6th event - Playground

a piece in the annual PlaygroundThe Ode to the No Sabo. It's going to be taking place on December 6th in the Helen Wayne Rauh Theatre (in the Purnell Center for the Arts) @ 6:30PM. It's 45 minutes long. 

Description: Through the container of paint and artistry, our play follows a white-Puerto Rican FSU art student refusing to grieve the death of his mother, visited by the spirits of his Abuela whom he's never met and his ancient cacique Taino ancestor, inhabiting his art. While focused on his final portfolio project, his ancestors grapple with his focus, lack of identity and denial, trying to teach him the meaning of his blood, culture and the values of family that come with it, while also combating with each other — a dark-skinned Taino coming to terms with his Spaniard skin descendants, and all three of them, fluent in different languages, moving mountains in themselves to speak the same language, and find common ground in what being Latino means today and through the ages.
