Barcelona is one of the most
beautiful and exciting cities in the world.
It has a huge number of attractions including
a city centre which retains its medieval
street
plan; some stunning modernist architecture
including several buildings by Gaudi,
Spain's most famous architect; dozens
of
museums including one dedicated
to Picasso, another to Miró and
yet another to Barcelona's world
famous football club!
Barcelona is almost
as lively at night as it is during the
day and it has a unique, exciting atmosphere,
which provides the visitor with a truly
unforgettable experience.

The Ramblas
|
There
are two major arts festivals during the year,
one in the summer (the Grec) and one in the
autumn (La Mercé), and there are concerts
and shows of different kinds happening all the
time.
The
city enjoys an almost perfect climate making
it an ideal place to be at any time of the year.
It even has its own sandy beaches, which are
less than 15 minutes away from the school.
The
city's geographical position also makes it the
easiest (and cheapest) Spanish city to reach
from the rest of Europe and there are direct
flights from most cities in the world to its
prize-winning international airport.
