Learn the world’s second most spoken language and know you’re far superior to anyone else in a room when you can recount your experience of incredible food, flamenco and siestas in fluent Spanish. Not bad, hey? All while enjoying classes and activities with international people over 30.
There are many advantages to learning Spanish in Spain. After all, the best way to learn a language is to study and practice it with the locals. Spend less time studying textbooks or listening to pre-recordings and more time learning the language through small group classes and the art of small talk with locals. This trip has been carefully designed to make learning Spanish as easy as possible for you by immersing you among people who speak the language round the clock, allowing you to experience the language in an entirely unique way. Trust us when we say that in no time we’ll have you not only conversing fluently with the locals, but feeling like a true local yourself.
To top it all off, you’re in Barcelona! We provide a complete programme for individuals over the age of 30 who want to supplement their Spanish studies with practical experience. As part of our comprehensive service, we will manage everything from class registration and housing to any assistance you may necessitate before, during, and after your trip.
Immerse yourself in a new culture, meet lifelong friends, gorge on tapas and sangria, and, most importantly, detach from your daily routine back home as you begin your journey to study Spanish in Barcelona. This trip is ideal for all adults over 30 who desire to live in a nation rather than merely visit with a language book in hand.
Learn Spanish in a structured, but relaxed environment 5 days per week (hours of study may differ). With smaller class intakes, you will get enough personal attention from the teacher to ensure you get the most out of it. You’ll be studying with students also over the age of 30, making it even easier to blend in and integrate into the group.
Handpicked from an experienced team who’ve been there, done that and ready to guide you through your entire journey and leave no question unanswered.

With so many fun activities, like guided tours, weekly excursions, team sports and games, you’ll get an even better chance to immerse yourself in the Spanish way of life. Examples of activities are tango classes, football games, wine tastings, pizza nights and more!

The best (and most enjoyable) way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in a foreign culture. Still, we're all human here, and we understand how daunting it may be to just throw yourself into it. This trip has been meticulously planned to make sure you are as comfortable as possible before venturing on your way to Barcelona.
You may be confident that you have our utmost support. Before you depart, a Trip Coordinator will be able to provide assistance, and there will be a dedicated staff on the ground to make sure everything goes smoothly and that you never feel uncomfortable or out of place in your new Spanish home. Barcelona has a single international airport, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, where a private transfer will be waiting to pick you up and take you to your accommodation as soon as you land.
Arrive in Barcelona knowing for sure that you will be miles ahead of any other traveller looking for a unique European experience. The school you'll be attending lies in Dreta de l'Eixample, a neighbourhood characterised by iconic Antoni Gaud structures, including La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, and La Pedrera.
Travellers over the age of 30 are placed in classes and typically assigned lodgings with people of the same age, making it even easier to blend in and integrate into the group. You will experience authentic settings in the classroom with native speakers who will help you with the more conversational aspects of Spanish. Once your course is over for the day, you are free to explore the lively city and make it your home away from home. Along with a daily leisure programme, weekly outings, and a certificate of accomplishment, all teaching materials will be provided.
A trip like this is great for your portfolio, CV, and personal development as you form lifelong connections and expose yourself to multiple cultures and diversity.
This trip is for travellers aged 30 and over.

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!
But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel.

If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.
If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.
As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!
*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
