Teaching English + Learning Spanish In Barcelona, Spain

Course Accommodation: 450 Euros (4 weeks)

As the course is intensive so it's very important that your accommodation is comfortable, easy to reach and allows you to study at home if you want to. We provide an optional accommodation service to all who request it. Rooms and amenities are up to the expected standard before allocating them.

Accommodation for trainees:

I. Shared Flats
Accommodation in Barcelona will consist of a room in a shared flat. We put one or two students, according to how many bedrooms are available, with one or two other people who are already living in an apartment. You always get your own room, your own keys to come and go as you please and use of communal living space. This means you can cook and live life as a Barcelona local. We use apartments with various nationalities, Spanish, Catalan, Finnish, Italian, and UK/English are some examples.

These are not families, we do not do family housing. They are generally either foreigners who live and work in Barcelona or Spanish/Catalan people with their own apartments. In most cases they are young people and it is just a flat share. For us it has worked wonderfully well and students have been happy with this arrangement. Often the apartments are close to other class member's apartments. It means you have somewhere that is more of a home to live in. Our apartments are of a good local standard. They are clean, comfortable and adequately furnished. A lot of these stays result in lasting friendships being made and a basis for networking. Obviously you also have the advantage of getting all the local tips from your hosts. You will always be close to a metro stop and metro travel is cheap in Barcelona.

Accommodation costs 450 euros for the duration of the course. This is the Saturday before the course starts until the Friday (inclusive) when the course finishes. Extra nights are charged at 20 euros per night.

The price for a couple sharing a double room and double bed is 700 euros for the room for the same duration. Extra nights are 30 euros per couple. Once your place on a course has been reserved we will contact you to make all the arrangements for your accommodation and arrival with you directly.

II. Arranging Accommodation Yourself
Trainees are free to arrange their own accommodation and there is a lot of information available on the Internet. If we can help in any way, by making reservations, paying deposits or so on, we will be happy to do so.
