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.
