The Spanish school in Barcelona is a spacious 4-storey building enclosed by gorgeous terraces.
Barcelona specializes in offering unique experiences in and around the city. Students will find historic sites everywhere they look, especially in the famous Barrio Gotico, the old quarter, which is a treasure trove of Gothic architecture and monuments. Art lovers can admire the works of Picasso or visit Guell Park, the La Pedrera building, or Gaudi’s famous Sagrada Familia and the Olympic Village all in the same day. Night-time is the moment when the students can enjoy authentic Flamenco shows and enjoy a typically Spanish meal. At the end of September, one of the most important celebrations of the city takes place: the Mercè (patron saint of the city). During this time, there are many rock, pop and folk concerts, street-theatre productions and sporting activities. The Metropolitan park of Collserola is a good example of the Mediterranean forests of pine and oak trees. Spectacular fields of rockrose, heather and broom can also be found on the sunny slopes. The Montseny Natural Park, forty kilometers from Barcelona, is the only natural park in Catalunya, declared a Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO. Holm oak, cork oak, oak, beech and pine groves are found there. In the woods it is possible to see boars, genets, dormice, a large variety of birds, including birds of prey. The Castle Discovery is a day excursion outside of Barcelona and an excellent way to understand and appreciate the rich culture and history of Catalunya. Castles typically date back to the 11th century. Some castles are in better condition than others, but all are fascinating in both architecture and lore.
