About

El mirador is a project of the Spanish Department at Grinnell College which seeks to involve Spanish language students with Spanish-speaking cultures. Students of Grinnell College who are studying abroad in Spanish-speaking countries will provide accounts of their experiences in the form of journal entries, images, and audio files that will be shared with the campus community through El mirador.

We hope the content shared by the reporters will enhance Spanish classes on campus and will also give students on campus the opportunity to glean valuable knowledge and understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures through the first-hand experience of their peers.

We also hope that the experiences shared by the reporters will encourage students to consider studying abroad in order to experience for themselves the rich benefits of becoming familiar with and involved in another culture.
