Learn Spanish in Barcelona

Barcelona is one of the nicest cities to visit. Its museums, theaters, art galleries and nightlife are of an impressive high standard. Besides that, this art and design centre has a lot of interesting sights to offer to its visitors. The best place to watch people go by, to stroll or simply relax, is 'Las Ramblas', a pedestrian street with dozens of outdoor cafes. Here, you’ll find flower-stands, book kiosks and small market stalls where they sell birds and small animals. You’ll also find an endlessly fascinating flowing receptacle of pageant-jugglers, singers, dancers, puppeteers, sidewalk artists, living statues and assorted oddballs on parade.

About the city

Population 1,593,075 (2005)
Density 15,869 hab./km² (2005)
Average temperature: January and February 10 °C, July and August 25 °C.

Barcelona is located on the southeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean sea, in a plateau of about 5 km width limited by the mountain range of Collserola, the Llobregat river on the south and the Besòs river on the north. It is 160 km (100 mi) south of the Pyrenees mountain range.
Collserola, part of the coastal mountain range, forms a soft rounded backdrop to the city. Its highest point, the mountain of Tibidabo, 512 m high and topped by the 288.4 m telecommunications tower of Collserolla, is visible from most of the city.

Barcelona has 4.5 km of beaches, divided in seven different zones, all of them suitable for swimming. San Sebastià and Barceloneta are the historical beaches of Barcelona, situated between the harbor and the Olympic Port. The reestructuring of Barcelona's seaside for the 1992 Olympic Games gave Barcelona three new beaches, situated after the Olympic Port: Bogatell, Mar Bella and Nova Mar Bella. In the aftermath of the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures, a new sandless bathing zone, sometimes described as a "sea pool", opened in the Forum premises. The newest beach, Llevant, opened in 2006, is situated between the Nova Mar Bella and the Forum.
