Barcelona
The comopolitan city of Barcelona is typified by the architecture of Gaudí, especially the iconic Sagrada Familia, his unfinished masterpiece, the passion from the Nou Camp and the bustle of the Ramblas, Barcelona is a modern, vibrant city that shouts its Catalan heritage from every corner and will fire the imaginations of your pupils.
Madrid
Traditional Madrid with its museums, architecture, plazas and monuments within the city showcase the many aspects of Spanish history and traditions. The city is ideal for those learning the Spanish Language, as all the signs are in Spanish, unlike Barcelona where they are in Catalan, and many local inhabitants do not speak fluent English, encouraging pupils to use their language skills.
