Spanish Language & Culture Forum Visits La Nacional

The Spanish Language & Culture Forum, along with members of the Latin Dance Club, traveled to Manhattan to attend a cultural event. The event included a flamenco show and traditional Spanish “tapas” cuisine. The location, La Nacional, is the Spanish Benevolent Society’s venue and is the oldest Spanish restaurant in Manhattan. The venue hosts weekly events called Alegrias, presenting traditional flamenco from Andalucia, theater, lectures, performances, paintings, and photo exhibitions on different cultural programs about Spain. These events facilitate cross cultural competency and language learning by means of exposure to target language and culture.
