Your social and cultural programme in Barcelona
August: visiting the Festa Major de Gràcia
Photos from the social program
Our photowalking tours are one popular event on our social program.
Check out the photos we took of Barcelona.
If you are taking a Spanish course with us, do make sure you get the most out of it by joining us on our varied programme of social activities for our Spanish students.
These include visits and excursions to places of interest in and around Barcelona, video films in Spanish and our very popular Friday Club language exchange (see sidebar, left), at which you will meet some of our Spanish students who are learning English, French or German with us.
Most of these activities are included in the course fee. However, please note that entrance fees and transport costs (where appropriate) are not included and you have to pay for these yourself.
The social programme is changed every two weeks so that if you are staying for longer you will not repeat specific activities.
On the day you arrive we give you a copy of the actual social programme planned for the next 4-week period.
We also organise full-day excursions to towns and places of interest outside Barcelona. These excursions are organised twice a month during the summer months and once a month during the rest of the year.
