Overview
American Spaces are the U.S. government’s network of over 600 cultural and information centers around the world that provide free and open access to in-depth information about the United States. Through people-to-people connections and modern facilities equipped with advanced technologies, American Spaces serve as hubs for building mutual understanding and developing practical professional skills.
The three American Spaces in Spain, located in Valencia, Barcelona, and Cuenca, are made possible thanks to close collaboration with local host institutions.
American Spaces in Spain offer programming in five main areas:
