An evening of Spanish food, Spanish culture and language at TANDEM Hamburg!
TANDEM Hamburg and TANDEM Valencia join hands on Wednesday 6th May at 7.00 p.m. and present everything Spanish. An evening entitled ‘Das kommt mir Spanisch vor’, complete with tapas, music and a presentation of Valencia will make every aficionado’s mouth water. Fernando Batalla will show the students the city and customs, and talk about gastronomy and festivals. The presentation, done in Spanish, will be fun and interesting at the same time – just like language learning should always be! And who knows, maybe you’ll find a Spanish TANDEM partner there and then.
All students at the German school and, in fact, everybody who is interested are invited to our party; so if you happen to be in Hamburg, come along, and if you intend to travel, do it now!

The annual Cherry Blossom Festival, a “must” in Hamburg, features an amazing fireworks display along the shore of Outer Alster ever since 1968. This gift from the Japanese community, which commemorates the first commercial links between Hamburg and Japan, brings hundreds of thousands of people to the Alster every year. Festivities include the election of the Cherry Blossom Queen, whose main duty is to represent the city of Hamburg in Japan, an amazing fireworks show, as well as other activities.
For the Japanese, cherry blossom is an important symbol of their country’s culture, marking the beginning of spring and standing for emergence from winter, for beauty and transience.
