Spanish class in Casa das Artes

Carmen teaching Spanish 

One of the highlights of my short trip to Portugal,sketching my mother teaching Spanish to a small group of fellow pupils at Casa das Artes.
Casa das Artes provides lots of activities like theatre, painting and music but also runs a small school for retired people with languages, philosophy and history being some of the subjects taught.
They also have a restaurant with vegetarian and local food at very good prices. My mother always eats there when she goes there as a teacher or as a pupil.
