We are a medium-sized Spanish language school located in the heart of Barcelona, only a 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Cataluña - the main square, and the Barrio Gótico - the famous gothic quarter.

Our school of Spanish in Barcelona has 7 friendly classrooms all equipped with air conditioning and a library with a comprehensive amount of study material. To use Internet during the opening hours of our school is possible and free of charge.

Our Spanish school offers Spanish classes given by young enthusiastic teachers in an enjoyable and personal atmosphere.

We have been dedicated to teaching Spanish language exclusively for over fifteen years and take pleasure in sharing our knowledge of Spanish culture, gastronomy and customs aswell as our language (we also give an insight to Latin American Cultures, an integral part of the Spanish language).

Our goal is for you to discover that learning Spanish is not only about our language but also our way of life.

Barcelona is located in the Northeast of Spain and is the capital of Cataluña. With a population of 1.5 million (3 million including the Greater Barcelona area) it is one of Spains most important cities.

Four kilometres of beaches to the east and a National Park to the west make its location ideal, and Barcelona really has something to offer for everyone.

The 1992 summer Olympic Games left their mark on the citys landscape and it has become one of the worlds true cultural capitals.

The urban landscape combines some of the clearest examples of modern-day architecture with the historical monuments to be found in the citys oldest quarters.

Internationally renowned for modernist buildings constructed for the Universal Exhibition celebrated at the beginning of the last century, and whose architects include Puig i Cadafalch, Domeneceh i Moi, and the brilliant Antoni Gaudi, parks and buildings reflect avant garde tendencies rather than more traditional designs.

Wide boulevards are truly emblematic in Barcelona and are full of life at all hours of the day and night.

Taking a stroll down Las Ramblas, the famous avenue leading down to the sea, you will find a curious mixture of stately buildings, shops and cafes, and mime artists and street entertainers who invite you to dwell just a little longer than you may have planned. You will also come across fascinating local markets such as the vibrant Boqueria, to feast your eyes on; yet another of the cities delights.

Such a colourful mixture and a constant movement of people from all across the globe makes Barcelona one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities on the Mediterranean and in fact, in the whole world.

Learning Spanish should not be limited to the classroom and we therefore offer a series of cultural and leisure activities during your stay.

On the first day a stroll in downtown Barcelona will familiarize you with some places of interest, and on other days the possibility of visits to the Sagrada Familia, the Parque Güell, Las Ramblas, the Palacio de Música, Montjuic etc.

Beaches are a fifteen-minute walk from the school to enjoy outdoor activities such as windsurfing and sailing (possible at the sailing school). The school itself will lend soccer and volley balls, beach and tennis raquets.

A minimum number of students is required to organise excursions to the Museo Dali in Figueres/Cadaqués, to the beaches at Sitges, the Monasterio Montserrat or various hikes in the surrounding countryside.

Cultural activities are of high priority and every week one of the best Spanish and Latin American films are shown at school. Chats or debates are also organised to discuss different aspects of culture, history and gastronomy, and dinner parties, tapas evenings and wine tastings provide an opportunity to put theory to practice and create an enjoyable and cheerful atmosphere.

Barcelonas own ample cultural supply enable us to program various events: concerts, cinema festivals, exhibitions or conferences which take place throughout the calendar year, and of which we inform students on a regular basis.

Accommodation with the school is of course optional, and a course can be booked independently. Alternatively those who wish to accompany students without taking aSpanish language course may book a room separately.

You may occupy your accommodation from the arrival day (Sunday) until noon on the last Saturday of your course. Flat and family places are limited and we recommend you to register well in advance.

1. Comfortable and spacious flats shared with four or five students. Each flat has one or two double and one or two single bedrooms. Your bedroom can either be single or double, if sharing with a friend.

The flats are clean and cosy and all have a shared fully-equipped kitchen (with washing machine) and sitting room (with television) and bathrooms. Bedrooms are supplied with bed linen and it is only necessary to bring towels. Gas, water and electricity expenses are included in the price.

This method of accommodation ensures both independence and personal contact.

2. We can also offer accommodation with carefully selected Spanish families. The stay includes half board (breakfast and either lunch or dinner).
