Group’s coordinator:
FRIDAY MARCH 30th : Arrival in Barcelona. PICK UP at Barcelona Airport (flight information to be sent)
REUNION AT SpainBcn Spanish School in Barcelona to have a brief program’s presentation. Students will be
able to use the internet to contact to their families and they all will receive maps of Barcelona with their host
family address and location, contact phone numbers, directions and locations of other host families and the
SpainBcn School, phone numbers of the teachers, etc.
Some of the students will be picked up at SpainBcn School in the center of Barcelona by their host families and
some of them will be accompanied to their accommodation by the SpainBcn teachers and coordinators.
Being Friday a working day, the host families won’t be at their homes until the afternoon, so in case the group
arrives in the morning, the group will be waiting at SpainBcn School until the host families pick up the students.
The group will rest and have something to eat while they wait for their host families to come to the school to
pick them up. If the students feel rested enough we will go for a short walk in the Gothic Quarter. The students
will be taken to their host families accommodations around 6 pm.
HOST FAMILIES: Our host families are a group of very nice and well educated people. The host families have
been carefully selected by SpainBcn Directors. We know them very well and we trust them.
Most of the host families have young boys or girls with similar ages to the students that will be placed with
them. The same group of host families is collaborating with our Programs for young students for several years
now: Many of host families started when their children were young kids and now they are teenagers. We are in
constant communication with the host families through the year as they host our students of the summer, spring
and winter programs.
Many of the host families live in the school area (center of the city) and all are located in some of the best
neighborhoods of the city. The SpainBcn teachers and coordinators live nearby the students accommodations
and they will pick them up daily in the morning to go to the school and they will also accompany them back to
their host families after the program activities in the afternoon (approx. at 7:30 pm) .
The host families help us with the supervision of the students and they also offer and nice and warm
environment. Breakfast and dinner are daily with the host family.
Students can be accommodated in groups of 2 or 3 with the host families. Students have their own bedrooms
(some may share the bedroom with the son or daughter of the family) and usually their own bathroom.
Regarding meals of the program:
Daily breakfast and dinner are with the host family. The teachers and directors of SpainBcn School will prepare
the food for the arrival day when the students will be waiting for the host families to pick them up. It is also
