If you’re in Cádiz on a Thursday night and looking for something more meaningful than just another round of tapas, there’s a hidden gem waiting for you: Savage Tandem – Intercambio de idiomas. Held at the lively Savage Bar every Thursday from 21:00 to 23:00, this weekly language exchange brings together locals, travelers, and expats from all corners of the world for two hours of conversation, laughter, and cultural discovery.
More than just language practice
At its core, Savage Tandem is about practicing languages—Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, or whichever tongue you’re trying to sharpen. But it’s not a classroom and there are no textbooks. Instead, it’s an organic, social atmosphere where people come as they are, grab a drink, and dive into conversation. You might start the night brushing up on your Spanish, then find yourself learning slang from Argentina, a phrase in Portuguese, or even sharing your own expressions in your native language.
A melting pot of cultures
What makes Savage Tandem truly special is the diversity of people it attracts. Students, digital nomads, locals, and travelers gather, swapping stories about their backgrounds, cities, and cultures. It’s a microcosm of the world, right in the heart of Cádiz. Whether you’re looking to expand your language skills, make new friends, or simply enjoy a night of cultural exchange, the energy here is welcoming and contagious.

The setting: Savage Bar
Savage Bar sets the perfect backdrop. Known for its cool vibe, friendly staff, and eclectic crowd, it’s a place that naturally invites conversation. During the tandem, the bar transforms into a buzzing hub of voices blending together—different accents, different languages, one shared experience.
Why you should join
If you’ve ever felt shy about speaking a second language, this is the space to let that go. Everyone comes with the same intention: to learn, to connect, and to enjoy themselves. You don’t need to be fluent—just curious. And the best part? You’ll leave not only with new words and phrases but also with new friends and stories to tell.
So, if your Thursday nights are free, come by Savage Bar between 21h and 23h. Grab a drink, join a group, and let the conversations take you around the world without ever leaving Cádiz.
Savage Tandem isn’t just a language exchange—it’s a community. And you’re invited.
