Españolé International House Valencia Celebrates 20 Years

This year marks a significant milestone for Españolé International House Valencia as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, the school has established itself as a leading destination for international students seeking high-quality Spanish language education combined with full cultural immersion in one of Spain’s most vibrant cities.

The celebration took place at the school’s home, the beautiful Palacio de los Fernández de Córdova, a remarkable 13th-century Gothic palace. This historic venue, together with a captivating flamenco show, created a uniquely atmospheric backdrop for the evening.

The anniversary was not only an occasion to look back with pride, but also a moment to thank the people who have been part of the school’s journey. As Cristina shared in her welcome message:

“They say time flies when you’re doing what you love, and for the past twenty years at Españolé, that is exactly what we have been doing: welcoming students to Valencia, sharing our language and culture, and creating a community built around connection, learning and unforgettable experiences.”

The evening reflected exactly that spirit: warm, elegant and full of appreciation for the partners, colleagues and friends who have supported Españolé IH Valencia over the years.
