A huge variety of courses at the San Javier time bank 2024-25
From Macrame to Spanish for foreigners, from yoga to ballroom dancing, broaden your horizons at the Banco del Tiempo in San Javier!
The ever-popular “time bank” returns to the municipality of San Javier in November for its 20th season, an initiative in which members of the community offer their time and expertise to give a number of courses to anyone interested in taking up a hobby or widening their knowledge in a huge range of carrying fields.
The courses on offer during 2024-24 include macramé, viniyoga, reiki, pilates, languages (including Spanish for foreigners), meditation, painting, poetry and many more, and registration for all of them is open throughout the year on weekdays between 9.30 and 13.30.
