Have you heard of Los Javis? Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi are one of Spain's best-known creative duos, famous for their distinctive storytelling, humour and explorations of identity, family and Spanish society.

Their latest film, La bola negra, inspired by an unfinished work by Federico García Lorca, won Best Director at this year's Cannes Film Festival and was released in Spanish cinemas on 25 September. It's bringing renewed international attention to Lorca's extraordinary legacy.

But you don't need to wait for the film to discover their work! Here are two very different Spanish-language series we recommend exploring.

📺 1. Paquita Salas — Comedy

🤣 Where to watch: Netflix UK

Meet Paquita, a larger-than-life talent agent who enjoyed success in the 1990s but is now struggling to keep up with the changing entertainment industry.

One of the best things about Todo el Mundo is the community that has grown around our classes. ❤️💛❤️

Learning Spanish isn't only about what happens in the classroom – it's also about connecting with people, sharing an interest in the Spanish-speaking world and having opportunities to use your Spanish in a relaxed setting.

¡Hola! Next week begins with a special showing of the Venezuelan film El cine soy yo in Bath on Monday evening, then Thursday marks the final day of classroom lessons for this academic year — and we’d love to celebrate with you afterwards at our annual Todo el Mundo Summer Social.

We’ll be heading to Bath on the Beach at Royal Victoria Park for a relaxed evening of copas y conversación, bringing together students, teachers, friends, family, past students and future learners too.

It’s a lovely chance to mark the end of another year of Spanish, say hello to other students outside the classroom, meet more of the team, and enjoy a bit of summer atmosphere together.

📅 Thursday 16 July from 6.30pm (or after your class at Bath Academy)

📍 Bath on the Beach, Royal Victoria Park, Bath

🥂 Food and drinks available to buy at the venue
