It’s a community center, a theater, and an educational institution that hosts lectures, musical events, movies, and classes. Some of its most popular events include the thrice-weekly language exchanges, the chess club, and children’s art activities. The language exchanges are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3pm to 5pm.
It’s a beautiful space: an old colonial building featuring a fountain, murals, and a café. It’s a friendly place where everyone feels welcome.
There’s free wifi. It’s a very short walk from the Jardín and the Parroquia.
