Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a cosmopolitan Mediterranean city that juxtaposes Roman remains, medieval quarters and the most beautiful examples of modernism and 20th century avant-garde art. Pedestrian streets in the old districts, green spaces, urban beaches and a splendid waterfront filled with modern structures all reflect the city's aim at integration. The visitor, whether on business or pleasure, will enjoy Barcelona's Mediterranean character, which can be clearly felt in Costa del Garraf as well as in the coast of Maresme.
Most major airlines fly to Barcelona including British Airways, Iberia and Easyjet. A taxi from outside the airport to a Barcelona destination will normally cost around 25 euros. Alternatively there is an airport bus that goes from the airport to Plaza Catalunya via Plaza Espana. This costs around 4 euros and operates between 07.30 and 22.00.There is also an airport train to Sants station which costs around 3 euros. Students that book accommodation through us will be told the nearest metro station.
About our Spanish language schools |

The school in Barcelona is situated in the centre – less than 5 minutes’ walk from the Plaza Catalunya, which is the hub of the city. The school building dates from the beginning of the last century and has many attractive features; a very decorative street entrance, lots of natural light, marble staircase and high ceilings. The school was one of the first in Spain to set up an internet classroom. When it is not in use for teaching, it is available for use by students. Access for 30 minutes is free.
A varied programme of social activities is offered. These include ‘Welcome’ cocktails, visits and excursions to places of interest in and around Barcelona, video films in Spanish, concerts by local musicians and ‘exchange evenings’ at which students can meet and talk with other students who are learning English. There are also two evening excursions per month to experience some of Barcelona’s unforgettable nightlife.
Great school, great location, great city!
