As a city heavily influenced by a major university, Santiago offers an active cultural life. During the entire year it plays host to regular concerts of classical and modern music, works of theatre and cinema, and exhibits of art.

Iria Flavia was born in Santiago de Compostela in 1994. This small and friendly Spanish school is located in the historic district of the city, only a few yards from the cathedral.

The average number of students in the Spanish language classes is 5 with a maximum of 8 students per class. The school has a maximum capacity for 66 students. This arrangement creates an intimate and pleasant atmosphere for learning in which it is easy for students to interact with each other. In addition, they have designed a Language Exchange Program with local Spanish students, so that visitors from other countries can get to know native speakers and profit as much as possible from their stay in Santiago de Compostela.
