Del Mar College’s Language Department will host Café Gijón, a weekly Spanish conversation table designed to help learners at all levels practice and enjoy the language in a relaxed, social setting. The first event was held Tuesday, Sept. 30 and continues every Tuesday through Oct. 28. Participants will meet from 12:30-12:55 p.m. in room 108 of the Coles Building (CB108).

Café Gijón started at DMC in the Fall of 2006. 

Professor of Spanish Javier Morin leads discussions based on the group’s interests. Topics could be anywhere from art and music to sports, history, or current events.

“It started as a way for students to practice Spanish in a relaxed, fun setting. The idea came from the famous Café Gijón in Madrid, where artists and thinkers would meet for tertulias – friendly but deep conversations over coffee,” said Morin.

This event only meets at the Heritage campus. All students and staff are welcome.
