What better way to learn a language than to immerse yourself in the country itself and to witness the language in its living environment.
We are delighted to offer our groups the opportunity to undertake a Spanish language course in northern Spain, in one of our most popular destinations, the Costa Brava. The language school, situated in Calella some 50km from Barcelona, gives students the opportunity to have structured language lessons in the morning, followed by the chance to practise the language outside the classroom as well as to enjoy the wide variety of excursions of offer in this area of Spain.
