About this trip

There is no better way to learn a language than to immerse yourself in a country’s language & culture. Our Spanish language trips to Barcelona are designed to help your students develop language skills with a range of fun, entertaining & engaging activities which will build their confidence; provide opportunities for them to read, listen and speak Spanish; as well as giving them a chance to test their skills in real-life situations.

Spanish students will come home feeling more confident in all language skills, whilst having a broader knowledge of the country and getting in the midst of Spanish culture.

Take a look at a WST Barcelona sample itinerary below.

Why choose WST for school trips?

We have just got back from the best 3 days in Barcelona and I just wanted to email you to say thank you! The students had such an amazing experience and got so much out of it. I was also so impressed with the support I had when one of our students needed medical care and I had to contact the emergency number. Both members of staff I spoke to were really helpful and really calming in a stressful situation. Again, they were really thorough and I also had a follow up message this morning. Please pass on my thanks for them both, I don’t know what I would have done without them.

There were other schools staying at the hostel who had booked with other providers and were not overly happy. I told them about WST and about how excellent your service is and told them to consider you for their next trip. I will definitely be looking to book Barcelona with you again for next year. Once again, a huge thank you from me.

Day trips and visits from Barcelona

Costa Brava

The charming cities of Girona and Figueres in the Costa Brava region are excellent destinations for a day trip during your languages trip to Barcelona. Experience the medieval city of Girona, which has historical charm, beautiful architecture, and ample opportunities for shopping and sightseeing. Meanwhile, approximately 45 minutes away, the beautiful city of Figueras is home to the Dali Museum, which displays a wide collection of the iconic Spanish artists works. Here, you could also experience the city's traditional outdoor markets, and see the largest 18th century fortress in Europe, the castle of Sant Ferran. 

 

Costa Dorada

A truly unique Roman city situated next to the sea, the historic Tarragona is a popular visit for Spanish Language groups. Here, you can explore the ancient Roman ruins and historical landmarks scattered across the city. Meanwhile, approximately 20 minutes away from Tarragona, you can find tranquil coastline and stretching golden beaches of Salou. Here, your students can take in the lively atmosphere of the town, relax along the coast, or enjoy an excursion to PortAventura Theme Park, which is located on the outskirts of the town. 

Recommended Visit - PortAventura Park

A visit to the PortAventura theme park is an excellent way to bring more fun into your students language learning.

Boasting more than 40 rides across 6 fun-filled worlds for your students to explore, this is a popular attraction for school groups visiting Barcelona.  

Just an hour from Barcelona in the resort of Salou, the park is a great day out where students can test their language skills at the shops and restaurants, or at one of the shows.

Include a Tour Manager to give you more time with your students

When you visit Barcelona you can include the services of a tour manager to provide added support throughout your tour. Your tour manager will:

There are great benefits to choosing a tour manager when you are in Barcelona.
