Barcelona is a city with immense history whose past enriches its vibrant modern cultural life and reputation for being cosmopolitan and cutting edge whether it be art, architecture, fashion or cuisine. The city lays claim to many important museums and galleries and inspired Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. The Modernist architecture championed by Antoni Gaudí contrasts with the ultra modern Olympic port and pristine beaches of the stunning Mediterranean coast.

As a student you will improve your language skills and gain an intimate knowledge of Barcelona’s history, culture, people and customs. From the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter to the modern shops and cafes of Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona possesses a unique energy and style that make it one of the top destinations in all of Europe.
