This is a great middle ground between college dorm life and indulgent independence.
Daily Schedule
We ensure that you make the most of your time as you attend language courses during weekday mornings while attending your pre-selected elective three times a week in the afternoon. The remaining two afternoons are spent trying out fun activities including visiting museums, tasting tapas, sunbathing, playing ultimate Frisbee, salsa-dancing, or taking a swim in the rooftop pool. We offer two or three options each day to give you the most choice. Weekends are spent on fun excursions, events, or for you to unwind with your friends.

You will also have the opportunity to visit Montserrat, Figueres, Sitges and Girona. View medieval towns, Spanish Gothic architecture, and breathtaking beaches. Take in the birthplace of Salvador Dali and experience the outdoors and mountains that may even contain the Holy Grail from Arthurian Myth.
