The essence of Barcelona – Hotel

The essence of Barcelona – Hotel.

This trip has been designed to discover Spanish culture from a playful and educational point of view. With original activities, far away from the typical touristic visits, students will get the best impression of Barcelona, and become accustomed to the main characteristics of the Spanish way of life. As a fully immersive experience, students will be required to draw on the linguistic resources within reach in order to communicate and understand what is happening around them. Above all, this program has been created to explore a wide range of cultural dimensions, such as history, traditions, gastronomy and cinema.

During all the program, the group is accompanied by our fantastic team: the instructors stay with the group throughout the whole trip (24/7), making sure that both students and teachers get the most out of their experience in Barcelona. Each night, instructors will also organise night activities so as to end the day in the most exciting way: contests, films, games…

Shall we begin exploring Barcelona together?
