Did you know that Barcelona is the Salsa capital of Spain? Immigrants from Central America really contributed to the metropolitan feel of the city and here you find one of the finest collections of "salsatecas" to enjoy outside of Latin America. We have put together a program where you can combine our Intensive Spanish course (20 hours per week) with 5 hours of Salsa classes and evening practice.

Our school is centrally located in downtown Barcelona, in a quiet street with spacious classrooms, a large common room and a beautiful big terrace: the ideal location for you to learn Spanish. The building is classical 19th century, high ceilings, mosaic floors, large windows.Our large outdoor terrace is the heart of the school's social life and you can always find students and teachers talking and mingling here. There is also an inside living room where you can get a fresh espresso ("cafe solo" as we like to call it), surf the web or read a newspaper. Although our school is non-smoking, smoking is allowed on the outdoor terrace. All our class rooms have air-conditioning to keep you cool in Summer and warm in Winter. Worth mentioning are the ergonomical chairs that make your Spanish course just that little bit more comfortable.

We offer a wide range of social and cultural activities. Every week we organize a culture class. Our teachers prepare a different presentation on subjects such as architecture, Spanish movies, Spanish literature or Spanish history. Every Wednesday evening we organize a social activity where all the students participate. Some examples of activities we organise: beach party, salsa lesson, cava & tapas, paella night, “degustación internacional”, wine tasting.Every Thursday evening you can get your popcorn ready, sit back and enjoy one of the many excellent movies that the Hispanic film world has to offer [with Spanish subtitles to make it just a little bit easier to follow].Every month we organise an activity or excursion such as a trip to the Dali museum in Figueras, a sailing trip on the Mediterranean or a visit to the monastery of Montserrat. In addition to these activities, we'd be delighted to help you book alternative activities such as dancing classes or sailing lessons.Iberia (0845 6012854) has flights direct to Barcelona from Newcastle, Birmingham, Heathrow and Manchester.
