About this trip

Barcelona is a popular destination for Geography and Environmental students; home to urban environments, regeneration projects and sports sites including the Olympic site.

Within the city centre, there are various walking tours that cover the major sites across the city, from the stunning regenerated waterfront area and historic old harbour, to 'Smart and Sustainable' inspired walking tours. 

In the heart of La Garrotxa Volcanic Natural Park our specialist English-speaking guides from the Green Volcanic Association will assist  your group in discovering the secrets of the local volcanic landscape – the largest in the Iberian Peninsula - and the impact of this protected area on the local population and landscape. Guided study days in this area are highly recommended. 

Barcelona offers an exciting choice of cultural visits that will complete your tour and allow your students to immerse themselves into Spanish culture and way of life.
