ToLingua Spanish School was founded in 2000 by Maria Angeles García Hernández and Thomas Simoncini.


With ToLingua Maria Angeles brings her long experience, knowledge and passion for the Spanish language to the students. After many years of teaching Spanish at different schools in Spain and Switzerland she wanted to create her own school. ToLingua tries to combine Spanish language teaching with cultural and historical activities so that the students can really immerse in Spanish life.

Bullfight Arena

On July 2010 the old bullfight arena was inaugurated solemnly in Toro. After several years of costly renovations, in which old craft techniques were applied, the wooden building is there in all its splendour. The building dated from 1828, it is the second-oldest bullring in Spain. It is testimony to a glorious bygone era of the small town on the Duero river, as it was still provincial capital, where many noble families lived.
