Instituto Cervantes – Larache Extension

## The extension and its location The **Instituto Cervantes extension in Larache** **opened on 15 October 2021** at **150 Avenue Mohamed Ben Abdellah**, in the former **Colegio Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles**. It is administered by **Instituto Cervantes Tangier** and represents a distinct local cultural-educational presence in a city with longstanding connections across the Strait of Gibraltar. The inauguration included the Larache-linked writer **Sergio Barce**, highlighting the institution’s literary and intercultural ambitions. ## Language education and cultural mission The official mission includes **general Spanish courses**, preparation for **DELE diplomas** and a **specialised library** covering Spanish as a foreign language and Spanish and Latin American literature. **Cultural events are managed by the Tangier institute**, often through cooperation with Moroccan and European partners. It would be inaccurate to list all Tangier activities as taking place in Larache without checking their actual venues, or to describe the school building as a dedicated public theatre. ## Activity in 2026 and visiting advice The branch lists normal hours as **Monday–Thursday 9 am–4 pm** and **Friday 9 am–2 pm**. These are administrative opening hours, **not a continuous programme of public exhibitions or performances**. For specific cultural activity in **2026**, follow the Tangier institute’s calendar and local announcements and confirm library access or course registration before visiting. The cover uses the **Cervantes network logo**, not a photograph of the historic building. ## Practical information - **Address :** 150 avenue Mohamed Ben Abdellah, ancien Colegio Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, 92000 Larache, Maroc - **Telephone :** +212 539 91 30 83 - **Email :** cursos.larache@cervantes.es - **Official website :** [https://tanger.cervantes.es/fr/extension_larache_espagnol.htm](https://tanger.cervantes.es/fr/extension_larache_espagnol.htm) ## Related Culturama cultural venues [Instituto Cervantes de Tanger](/institutions/instituto-cervantes-tanger) · [Centre culturel Lixus – Larache](/institutions/centre-culturel-lixus-larache) · [Centre provincial de la Culture de Larache](/institutions/centre-provincial-culture-larache) ## Sources and image credit [tanger.cervantes.es](https://tanger.cervantes.es/fr/extension_larache_espagnol.htm) · [tanger.cervantes.es](https://tanger.cervantes.es/es/extension_larache_espanol.htm) · [tanger.cervantes.es](https://tanger.cervantes.es/fr/) · [commons.wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logotipo_del_Instituto_Cervantes.svg) *Logotype de l’Instituto Cervantes, Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0) ; ne représente pas l’ancienne école accueillant l’antenne de Larache.*
