It is alsothe mother tongue of Cervantes, Federico García Lorca,Borges, García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and PedroAlmodóvar, which are only some of the great names thathave made the culture of Spain and Latin America one of the most open, plural, diverse and creative.

Since 1991, the Instituto Cervantes has worked tospread Spanish – it is the largest institution in the worlddedicated to teaching Spanish – and to foster the cul-tures of Spanish-speaking countries.

Thousands of companies

and institutions collaborate with the Instituto Cervantesactivities.

SPONSORS AND COllABORATING BODIES

The Instituto Cervantes is able to undertake much of itswork owing to the collaboration of a large number of institutions, companies and bodies, both public and priva-te, Spanish and from many other countries.

Added to this invaluable contribution, sometimes mone-tary and sometimes in kind (free transfers or services), isthe cooperation of many individuals who freely give theInstituto their time.

The Instituto Cervantes thanks all of them for this

contribution which enables it to carry out its activities,

making the dissemination of the Spanish language and of the Hispanic culture a task which is shared by all.



“The Spanish language is, at present,

the most important cultural frontier in

movement on the whole planet.”

His Majesty King Juan Carlos
