Activities At Pylmon Barcelona, we think that teaching Spanish is not limited only to learning the language, but it should also include a familiarity with the culture and lifestyle of Spanish society, and for this reason we consider social activities to be very important for full immersion. As we like to say “don’t just learn it, live it!” -these activities are designed so that our students get to know and participate in the city’s everyday life, get to form part of it and end up feeling that they are just one more “barcelonés” during their stay. That's why we've decided that instead of organizing Barcelona tours and outings, we'll have our students participate in social events organized by groups of Spanish people. According to your interests, we'll have you join groups of: amateur photo- graphy, jazz lovers, casual football players, language exchange groups ...etc. We'll still be offering daily Barcelona tours and weekly excursions for the one of you who are interested. You will have a calendar from which you can choose the activity that suits you best; you will just have to book it at the school’s reception. DAILY ACTIVITIES Every week, from Monday to Friday, we propose a list of guided tours (free or chargeable) to city landmarks such as: Guell Park, Sagrada Familia, Picasso Museum, Joan Miró Foundation, the foodmarket of Boqueria, etc. We combine them with cultural activities and events, for example: conferences or Spanish cinema sessions. You just have to choose the one you like the most and ask the reception to book it for you. Beauty Fashion is my passion If you want the save time and go to the coolest spot of fashion in the city book the intensive 20hours plus 4 hours a week of shopping assistance. Our fashion advisor will show you the best retails stores of the city. Gastronomy Intensive 20 course plus 2 cooking classes of 2.5hour each (per week).

The residences run smoothly by persons responsible for all things in the building (food, cleaning, maintenance, control, etc.). They are open 24 hours and have a caretaker at night. Private apartment If you prefer another type of accommodation, we can offer you a private flat or a room in a hotel. Contact the school for further information. |
