Teach English in Barcelona Spain
It is very hard to exaggerate Barcelona.
With a population of nearly 2 million, it is big enough to offer the
widest range of choices in arts, culture and entertainment but small
enough to find your way around. Catalonia´s capital sparkles with
vibrant colours and intense energy.
At TEFL International in Barcelona we will do everything possible to
make sure you have an enjoyable time in this fantastic region. We are a
small and friendly team offering you the warmest welcome and a range of
social activities and excursions to suit everyone. Tapas evenings, café
crawls, sailing trips, skiing, windsurfing, wine tasting, beautiful
beaches - we can arrange just about anything! A welcome dinner at the
start of the course helps ensure you get to know your fellow trainees
at an early stage. Yes, the course is intensive but we do make sure you
have the opportunity to get the most out of your weekends and evenings.
Situated between the blue waters of the Mediterranean and the Tibidabo
hills, Barcelona is on the doorstep of some of the great playgrounds
and vacation retreats of Europe. The Balearic Islands are to the east,
the Costa Brava (Wild Coast) and Pyrenees to the north, the Penedes
wine region to the west and the Roman city of Tarragona, the monastery
at Montserrat and the beautiful resort town of Sitges to the south.
There is so much to explore!
The time for Barcelona is now. It has led the region of Catalonia in a
resurgence of a unique and intriguing culture, which makes it an
unforgettable city to experience. It is home to some of the most
visionary artists of the modern era. From the modernist spires of
architect Antonio Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral to Picasso's Cubism
and Dali's Surrealism, the unique Catalan perspective has had a
dramatic impact on the way we see the world today.
Stroll down the main street, the Ramblas. This grand boulevard takes
you from the elegance of the Plaça Catalunya right down to the sea. You
will see grand opera houses, ornate churches, flower stalls, artists,
street mimes, classy cafés and great shopping. Visit the lively produce
market to see an explosion of fresh products and colours. Try a
'tortilla espanola' (potato omelette) and a café con leche in the
market café.
Wander deep into the bohemian Gothic quarter, a tangled mix of
seemingly undiscovered and grand squares, schoolyard plazas, art
nouveau storefronts, baby flea markets, musty and classy antique shops
and balconies with jungles behind wrought iron bars. The centerpiece of
the Gothic Quarter is its colossal cathedral, a fine example of Catalan
Gothic, started in 1300 and completed 600 years later. The Picasso
Museum, far and away the best collection of Picasso's work in Spain is
just nearby.
And finally, a word about Barcelona's nightlife: At times it seems that
there are more clubs, cafés and bars here than anywhere else in the
world. Dinner only really begins to be served after 9 pm and the choice
and range of cuisine is excellent. Afterwards you can pick from a
thousand near perfect bars tucked away in the Gothic Quarter, trendy
cafes in the Eixample district and open-air nightclubs in the Tibidabo
Hills amongst other options.
With all this to offer, Barcelona is a great place to have fun. History
and character, buildings with no straight lines, artists and theatre,
wild festivals and an even wilder nightlife, bronzed beaches and
refreshing mountains. Barcelona is a gateway - to Catalunya, to Spain,
to the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees. Pack your swimsuit and your
skis, your art history book and your clubbing shoes. If you're in the
mood to surrender to the charms of a City, let it be in Barcelona.
