“My top pick of things to see and do”
Barcelona has lots of immersive opportunities to practise your Spanish, but here are a few standout experiences I always recommend for language groups:
Spanish Language Lessons
Speaking and listening sessions with native speakers
Guided Sightseeing Tour
Explore Barcelona with a tailored tour experience
Poble Espanyol
A recreated traditional Spanish village with buildings, streets and squares
Sagrada Familia
Plan a visit to Sagrada Familia and see it in all its glory now the towers stand tall and completed
Flamenco Show
This fascinating show is a must-see on a trip to Barcelona
Parc Guell
Park Güell has the appearance of something from a fairytale
Spanish Language Lessons
The lessons are adapted to match the abilities and requirements of the group and led by highly qualified local teachers and designed to improve confidence as well as ability. Students are grouped into maximum class sizes of 15 to ensure individual participation.
Guided Sightseeing Tour
The city tour is an excellent introduction to the city, and will typically visit places such as the Sagrada Familia and other Gaudi landmarks, the Olympic Port, Montjuic and the Olympic Ring, the Old City. City tour delivery can be tailored to your desired level of Spanish.
Poble Espanyol
Students can practise their language skills in the many buildings housing working craftspeople, souvenir shops, cafés and restaurants. Interactive workshops on Spanish crafts such as ceramics and leather jewellery, and Spanish cooking are also available.
Sagrada Familia
Plan a visit to Sagrada Familia and see it in all its glory now the towers stand tall and completed! Worked on for over 100 years, the Sagrada Familia represents Gaudi’s dedication to build a church replete with precise symbolic meaning. Located in the church crypt, the museum tells the story of how the building work evolved.
Flamenco Show
During their time in Barcelona, the group can enjoy a lively flamenco show, experiencing the passion, music and rhythm of this iconic Spanish art form in an authentic performance setting.
Parc Guell
This leafy park in the north of the city contains more examples of Gaudi’s work, namely a series of colonnades winding up the hill leading to a large central terrace projecting over a hall with a forest of distorted Doric columns. The park contains amazing stone structures, stunning tiling and fascinating buildings.
At the top of Güell park is a terraced area where you get a wonderful view of the park and of Barcelona City. The vibrant colours of the tiles are truly breathtaking.
