A Week at SPRACHCAFFE Camp Barcelona

A week at SPRACHCAFFE's Camp Barcelona mixes morning Spanish lessons with afternoons out across the city.
 

On a language trip to Barcelona you become part of our lively, international Camp Barcelona, where the days mix Spanish lessons, excursions and plenty of fun. Mornings are for engaging language classes, afternoons for exploring the city, so you immerse yourself in Spanish and practise it naturally in real situations. There is free time too, for the beach, the park or your new international friends. Here is what a typical week of a Spanish camp in Barcelona looks like.

Saturday and Sunday: Arrival in Barcelona

Your adventure begins as you arrive in Barcelona over the weekend. At the airport, our friendly SPRACHCAFFE team will welcome you and ensure a smooth transfer to your accommodation, so you can start your trip stress-free.

At the residence, a team member will assist you with check-in and show you around: your room, the classrooms, and the fully equipped leisure areas. Afterwards, you'll join a welcome tour of the surrounding area, including nearby supermarkets where you can buy authentic Spanish products, and the restaurant where you'll enjoy your daily meals.

After some time to unpack and settle in, you'll meet your fellow students during dinner - your first chance to make international friends and get excited for the week ahead.

Monday: First Spanish Class and Welcome Beach Party

Your first full day starts with an introduction to your language trip. You'll receive all the important information, meet your teachers, and then begin your Spanish course. Whether you've chosen a standard or intensive course, your learning experience will be dynamic and interactive.

After classes and lunch, it's time for your first city excursion: the historic Barri Gòtic. Wander through narrow streets filled with history and discover landmarks like the stunning Barcelona Cathedral.

In the evening, you'll head to the beach for a welcome party. Enjoy snacks, music, and a relaxed atmosphere while getting to know your new friends. Play volleyball, take a dip in the Mediterranean, or simply soak up the Spanish vibes.

Tuesday: La Rambla, La Boqueria Market and Karaoke Night

After your Spanish lessons, you'll visit La Rambla, one of the most famous streets in Barcelona. It's the perfect place to experience the city's lively atmosphere, watch street performers, and pick up souvenirs.

Right next to it, you'll find the famous Mercado de La Boqueria. This colorful market is full of fresh produce, local delicacies, and delicious snacks. Don't miss the refreshing fruit juices - a true highlight.

In the evening, it's time for karaoke at the camp. Sing your favorite songs with your friends - including Spanish hits - and improve your language skills in a fun and relaxed way.

Wednesday: National Art Museum and Magic Fountain Show

Like every day, Wednesday begins with your Spanish course. In the afternoon, you'll head to Montjuïc to visit the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, where you can enjoy both impressive art and stunning views over Barcelona.

As night falls, you'll experience the Magic Fountain show - a spectacular combination of water, light, and music. It's a magical highlight that perfectly captures the spirit of Barcelona.

Thursday: Park Güell and Spanish Movie Night

After your morning Spanish classes, you'll visit the iconic Park Güell, one of Barcelona's most famous landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí. With its colorful mosaics, unique architecture, and breathtaking views, it's an unforgettable experience.

In the evening, you'll relax during a Spanish movie night. Watching films in Spanish is a great way to improve your listening skills while enjoying time with your friends.

Friday: Spanish Test and Sagrada Família Visit

On your last day of classes, you'll take a Spanish test to review what you've learned during the week. Don't worry - it's simply a way to track your progress and help you continue improving.

Afterwards, you'll visit one of the world's most famous landmarks: the Sagrada Família. This extraordinary basilica will impress you with its unique architecture and peaceful atmosphere inside.

Saturday: Excursion to Tarragona

Saturday is dedicated to a full-day excursion to Tarragona, a beautiful coastal town south of Barcelona. Here, you'll explore ancient Roman sites, including the impressive amphitheater, and enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea.

After exploring the city, you'll have time to relax on the beach, swim in crystal-clear water, and soak up the sun before returning to Barcelona in the afternoon.

Sunday: Free Time and Departure

On Sunday, it's time to say goodbye - or continue your journey if you're staying longer. Use your final hours to enjoy Barcelona one last time or spend time with your new friends before heading home.
