Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital of the province Catalonia and,
after Madrid, the second most important and second largest city of Spain
- both culturally and economically. The capital of Catalonia is strongly
influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, which lends the city its special
flair. When
the World's Fair was held here, it was symbolic of the creative power
and the international charisma of the city!
Barcelona is a real Mecca for art lovers, and has adapted
itself to the metropolises of Europe. This makes Barcelona by far to
the "most European" of all Spanish cities.

Excursions
A cosmopolitan city like Barcelona offers a wide range of opportunities.
Start your trip with the Barrio Gótico (Gothic Quarter). There
you will find many small shops and restaurants in the narrow streets,which
are also very close to thefamous flower market of "Las Ramblas".
Our language school is situated only "a hop, skip and a jump"
from this fabulous area. What about visiting a museum? The Picasso museum
would be a terrific place to start.
Our tip: Ask the school for suggestions when planning your leisure
time activities.
