About Barcelona

Learn Spanish - Study Abroad - Spanish Courses in Barcelona - Summer Camp Program in Spain

Barcelona is a city unlike any other, and it’s the perfect place to learn the passionate Spanish language. There's a whimsical atmosphere in this beachside city which is dotted with stunning examples of Antoni Gaudí’s colourful, organic, distinctly Catalan, variety of modernism.

In Barcelona you can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere that comes with being on the coast while still having access to the amenities of city life. Barcelona is one of the best cities to walk in thanks to its warm, Mediterranean climate, palm trees, fair breezes, and artistic urban design.

Enjoy the amazing food, and tap into your artsy side over a plate of tapas in the city of Picasso’s youth. There's so much to see in Barcelona we wrote up a handy list to help you get to experience the best things to do in Barcelona!

Campus

Our Barcelona camp is our most popular Teenagers Abroad Spanish program. This fun and educational camp takes place at two campuses in vibrant and enchanting Barcelona. The location of your course will depend on the time of year that you book for.

Year-round campus:

Our year-round language school is located in the heart of Barcelona, next to the main Cathedral.  You will be taking Spanish courses in the centre of the beguiling ‘El Barrio Gothico’ district. This campus is just a 5 minute walk from the ‘Las Ramblas’ district, an energetic part of the city where you are sure to meet many street vendors, artists, and performers!

During the high season, lessons take place in a separate building on a University campus.
