FAQs about this tour
Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
-
Are language lessons always in a classroom?
Not always! Some language schools may be able to offer paella cooking classes, flamenco classes, sports on the beach and a treasure hunt (which is a quiz around an area or the city where questions take students place to place, encouraging them to use their Spanish to interact with people and places).
Meaning you’ll combine language learning with a fun, and often, cultural activity – giving your students real bang for their linguistic buck!
-
Are there a good range of accommodation options for schools in Barcelona?
Absolutely. There are a plethora of options for groups wanting to stay in the city as well as on the outskirts of Barcelona.
-
Is Barcelona a good all-round language tour destination for schools?
Yes for a whole host of reasons! There’s an abundance of options in terms of educational visits and it’s a great all year round destination that’s bursting with opportunities for students to immerse themselves in Spanish culture
-
What are the stand-out excursions in Barcelona?
There’s so many, with a varied and diverse offering to boot! From the iconic Camp Nou to La Sagrada Familia to vibrant Park Guell or bustling Las Ramblas and Boqueira Market, there’s a whole city packed out with things to see and do.
We offer a full list of excursions in the Catalonian capital and can always look to see if we can include any specific activities you wish to be included too!
-
Will students experience the Catalonian culture?
Definitely! Why not wander around the Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas? Or soak in the energy and electricity of any of a number of buzzing markets? Maybe you could just walk from one art installation to the next whilst on route feasting on everything the city has to offer?
Whichever you choose, it’s easy to say that there’s an abundance of opportunity for your class to really experience the vibrant culture of Barcelona.
