Jesús Baz is the Director of Studies at the Don Quijote spanish school in lovely Salamanca, Spain. A true salmantino, Jesús has a real pride for his city, which is home to some of Europe’s oldest universities and has a very strong intellectual tradition.

Tarde encompasses a longer period of time from many English speakers' notions of "afternoon" or "evening."
