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.

The accommodation is an essential part of your stay in Barcelona and therefore it is very essential for us that you feel comfortably well. We offer a wide variety of accommodations, shared apartments and host families, and our aim is to offer you the type of accommodation that best suits your preferences. We can also arrange a booking of the room in students' residence or a hotel in case you would like to have more freedom.

At Pylmon, we carry out a meticulous selection process as well as periodical revisions of shared apartments and host family facilities. This, together with your opinions, allows us to guarantee excellent quality and price. All our accommodation facilities are located within maximum 20 minutes distance by public transport from the school.

Usually, your accommodation is available from Sunday before the start date of your course and finishes Saturday after the course. We offer you the possibility to book extra nights in case you would like to, more than 3 nights is considered a new week of accommodation


HOST Families
Family stay is, undoubtedly, the best accommodation option if you would like to go into Spanish culture and get to know closer the everyday lifestyle of a Spanish family. The cultural immersion means to get used to host family's habits and norms of daily coexistence, still keeping certain independence as you will have a room on your own as well as your own set of keys.

Our main objective is to offer you a family accommodation that will suit you best, thus we always take into consideration all the details that you can provide us describing yourself such us: age, sex, allergies or eating habits, etc.

The accommodation in host family includes towels, laundry service (once a week for stays longer than 1 week) as well as a set of keys. Most of our partner families have Wi-Fi connection at home. As far as meals are concerned, you can choose between bed and breakfast option or half board (breakfast and dinner).

It is required that you inform us about your arriving time in Barcelona so that the family is at home to welcome you and show you around.

In case you are not happy with your host family, please inform us about it during the first week and we will provide you with three different family options, which you will be able to visit before making your decision. This service is totally free during the first week of your stay.

OTHERS
Shared flat
This type of accommodation is available during the summer only (we recommend you to get further information at the school office).

Staying in a student residence is something between staying with a family and sharing a flat: in the residence you have more independence than in a family and contrary to a shared flat you won´t have to worry about cooking or cleaning.

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.
