Activities

Learn, visit and enjoy!

Learning a language should not be limited solely to the classroom; it is also important to understand the social, cultural and historical contexts. At Funcarele, we want you to get a real feel for the city in which you are studying. To that end, we regularly update our calendar of extra-curricular activities, which include conversation classes, culture lessons, reading workshops, Spanish-language films, day trips, sports and guided visits, amongst others. What’s more, there are plenty of other activities organised by the University and the Town Hall for you to take part in.
