Of all the Spanish traditions, the Fallas are one of our favorites. Perhaps the most impressive at the audiovisual level. A ´Falla´ is a statue made by the artists specialized in its creation throughout the year, they are present it in the streets of Valencian towns and cities during the Fallas celebration in the second half of March. The sculptures are always satirical on current issues. The largest can reach 30 meters in height. The most impressive moment comes on the night of March 19 when all these peaces of art are burned. It is a symbol of saying goodbye to the old, being reborn and starting to build the new.
This year due to the Covid-19 emergency, the celebrations were canceled. With the construction of the faults half finished it was necessary to set another date. Let's remember this amazing tradition by watching the video we recorded in 2017 and hope that the next ones will come very soon.
I needed to brush up on my Spanish, and Language Surfing was definitely the best option I could have gone for for that. Every lesson was exciting, interesting, engaging, and even though I'd been to Barcelona multiple times, I was shown incredible places I had never seen before. Amazing teachers, amazing method!

The funniest way, I ever have learned language. Brilliant concept and engaged and specialized teachers. If you are tired of conventional classes and books, you should try it! You learn a lot more focused on your interests, than you do in an traditional language school!

I can't recommend Language Surfing enough! Martyna, Rebecca and Soraya are incredible, working both in and out of the classroom. Classes aren't just grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure; time is also spent learning through music ... More
