Friday has come and you still have no plans for the weekend in Valencia? Don’t worry! Our Spanish school El Rincón del Tandem has selected some of the events that will take place in the coming days 😊

As every Friday, here we go with our suggestion of plans for the weekend in Valencia!

In order for our Spanish students to continue learning the language in informal situations and enjoy the Valencian cultural life, we leave here a brief description of some events.

Let’s see it in detail!

Amb veu de dona: Gem

Friday 17 at 8 pm
Octubre CCC, Calle de Sant Ferran 12
Free admission with reservation

The centre of contemporary culture October opens this afternoon a series of concerts by female musicians.

This is a cultural initiative promoted by the Cultural Action of the Valencia Country and will take place from September to December.

In these months, we will enjoy quality music by the hand of 6 Valencian singer-songwriters who will present their musical works.
Singer-songwriter Gem (Gema Vañó’s stage name) will premiere the free concert series this afternoon. Gem, who has already published three works, will play songs from his second album Satèl ∙its, a reflection on the technological drift of our times and the ephemeral.

All concerts in the cycle are free and have limited capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to book on this link

El Olvido que seremos

Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19, at 4.30 pm and at 9.05 pm
Cinestudio d’Or, Calle Almirante Cadarso 31
Ticket: 3,50 euros

Watching movies in the original voice is one of the fastest and most effective ways to learn new words, expressions and improve your understanding of Spanish.

This weekend we will have the chance to see one of the films that are mostly appreciated by critics and the general audience.

El Olvido que seremos by de famous director Fernando Trueba, narrates the exciting story of Héctor Abada. The film will make us live three different periods in the life of the protagonist, a good man committed to social change and the improvement of life of the most vulnerable people in the Medellín of the 70s.

The film has received several awards, including the Goya for Best Ibero-American Film (2020).
