Learn Spanish in Barcelona
- The city of Barcelona
"If you already know us then words are not necessary, and if you do not know us yet, I am Demetrio Sánchez, the Director of Studies at the don Quijote school in Barcelona. I presume that you want to learn Spanish. I can also imagine why you want to learn it: work, study or just for fun -which is, by the way, a magnificent reason. I also understand your doubts: Where? Barcelona? Why? The Ramblas, the Barceloneta, the Güell Park, the Sagrada Familia, Gaudí, Dalí... But all that is not enough without human warmth, without people. My colleagues and I know this from our experience, which is why we want to offer you our personal side as well as our professional side as much as possible. We are people who work with people, and when we give lessons in Spanish we try to make friends. The decision is yours."
DEMETRIO SÁNCHEZ
Head of Studies, don Quijote Barcelona
Our new home in Barcelona is located at Calle Mallorca 27, in the heart of Barcelona's vibrant, central L’Eixample District, home to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia cathedral, a collection of notable modernist architectural gems, including Gaudi's Casa Batlo and La Pedrera, and much of Barcelona's best boutique shopping. On foot, the school is 10 minutes from the Plaza de Espana, 10 minutes from the Plaza de Catalunya and within walking distance of the city’s bustling Gran Via. The Sants railway station, Barcelona’s main railway terminal and a landmark building, is only 150 meters away!
With direct connection from the school to 8 main public buses lines, and a metro station less than 5 minutes from our entrance, getting round Barcelona is as easy as walking out the front door!
65 spacious classrooms
You will make a lot of friends from all over the world!
The school building is spacious, with 2600 square meters generously spread over the 3 lower floors of a modern building. The school offers more than 55 bright and airy classrooms with a total surface area of 2000 square meters. The school also offers 600 square meters of common areas, including a large interior patio, which looks out through a glass wall onto the school’s expansive private garden, complete with trees and terrace. The central interior patio offers comfortable seating and more than 20 computer terminals, making it a great stop for easy and free internet access at our terminals or linking up your own laptop to the school’s free Wi-Fi. The patio is a popular spot to relax between classes while enjoying a drink or snack from the vending machines stationed throughout the school. The school’s architectural details are top notch, as well, with marble floors throughout the common areas and beautifully finished wood floors in the classrooms.
In summary, the new don Quijote Barcelona is not only big, but bright and comfortable, with a touch of luxury. We’re not sure there is another language school of this size and caliber in all of Europe!
