Accommodation

We offer accommodation in shared student apartments, Spanish host families and hotels.

Our shared student apartments are the most popular accommodation type. Apartments are self catering, fully furnished, have a fully equipped kitchen and two or three bedrooms.

It is important to know that in our apartments the students are responsible for dish washing, laundry, shopping, cooking and setting up the bathroom with toilet paper, soap and towels.

There are single and shared double rooms to choose from, the rest of the rooms like bathroom and kitchen are shared with fellow students. If you choose a double room and do not arrive with a friend, we will place another student into your room.

Some apartments are within walking distance to the school others are 20-40 minutes by public transportation.

Our host families have much experience in providing hospitality to students. Almost all families live between 15 and 30 minutes by public transport from the school.

In order to complete our method of direct learning, the families only speak Spanish, which is the best option from the linguistic point of view.

Some families have children and all offer breakfast or half-board, (breakfast and lunch or evening meal) with single rooms.

If preferred, we can also reserve accommodation in a hotel. Hotels are close to the school and have en-suite bathrooms. There is a choice between single and double rooms.

Please note that hotel accommodation in a double room has to be reserved by two students.

During the high season there is an additional surcharge which will be added to the accommodation price.

Arrival to Barcelona by plane:

Those arriving in Barcelona by plane will land at Barcelona Airport, “El Prat de Llobregat”, coded BCN in the international aviation codes. The airport is 13 km (8 miles) away from central Barcelona to the southwest and there are several traveling options for getting from the airport to the city.

By car from the airport: the access highway from the airport to central Barcelona is the C-246 highway – “Autovia de Castelldefels”. Travel time will vary depending on traffic but should take around 20-30 minutes.

By Taxi from the airport: taxis abound outside the airport’s three terminals and will also take around 20-30 minutes in getting to central Barcelona along the C-246 highway – “Autovia de Castelldefels”. Fares depend on your destination but expect a minimum of 15 Euro. Be sure to consult the driver on the possible fare to get an idea of what the trip will amount to.

By bus from the airport: A bus service is available for those going to central Barcelona. Buses leave the airport every 15 minutes from all three terminals and take you to the “Plaza Cataluña”. The service is available from 6 AM to midnight. Expect a 30 minute ride into Barcelona. The fare is 3.30 Euro.

Arrival to Barcelona by car: The most common access by road into Barcelona is from Madrid via the N-2, A-2, and A-7 motorways. Arriving from outside of Spain the approach to Barcelona is from France with the main access route at the eastern end of the Pyrenees via the express highway, the E-15.

Arrival to Barcelona by bus: Although this is another possibility, it is a fairly slow way of getting to Barcelona and therefore not popular. Various bus service companies can arrange for travel between Barcelona and several European destinations. These include Eurolines Limited, Enarcar, Linebús, and Julià Via.

Arrival to Barcelona by train: Traveling by rail is much faster and more comfortable than by bus. Connections will be required at some point in France. Major trains are the TALGO and the Pau Casals.

Arrival to Barcelona by ferry: Getting to Barcelona through the port is another option. Transmediterránea provides the ferry service to and from Majorca and Minorca.

Moving around Barcelona:The fastest and cheapest way of moving around Barcelona is using the metro which runs from 5 am to midnight on Mondays-Thursdays & Sundays and from 5 am to 2 am on Fridays, Saturdays & holidays. A one-way fare will cost around 1 Euro. Tickets will be checked before boarding and it is a good idea to get a deal on the multiple-trip tickets.
