Every Friday
Friday is the class.
Included in the full cultural immersion programme.
Every Friday some activities take place at the school — film club, book club — while others are outings around Barcelona with the team’s linguist and historian teacher. Historical routes, cultural visits, real-world context. These are not optional activities — they are the moment where the language is practised in an authentic setting.
Film club
A1 and above · Screenings of clips in Spanish with subtitles. A first contact with the language through cinema — listening, recognising, enjoying. Included in the programme.
Book club
B1 or above · Shared reading of literary and journalistic texts in Spanish. Comprehension, vocabulary and conversation drawn from literature. Included in the programme.
Open to all students

La Castanyada · Vic
Autumn · One of the most deeply rooted festivals in Catalan tradition. Roasted chestnuts, panellets and autumn in one of the historic inland capitals.
Medieval Fair · Manresa
Winter · One of the most important medieval fairs in Catalonia, with historical re-enactments, crafts and shows that transport you to the past.
Modernista Festival · Terrassa
Spring · A city with exceptional Art Nouveau heritage and one of Catalonia's most carefully curated themed festivals — atmosphere, period costumes and culture.
Patron Saints' Festival · Blanes
Summer · Summer on the Costa Brava. A local festival and the joy of a seaside town in the height of the season.

BCNLIP collaborates with Barcelona International Social — a very active community with daily and weekly events all over the city: language exchanges, themed meet-ups, cultural activities, sports, nights out and much more. For all levels and all tastes.
During the exchanges, the two languages alternate — the one you are learning and the one you can offer. No classroom, no exercises. Real conversation with real people. And if what you are looking for is simply meeting people and enjoying life in Barcelona, you will find your place too.
