Accommodation
On-site Superior Apartments These fully equipped, self-catering apartments are all in located the same building as the school, ideally situated in the centre of Barcelona, just 10 minutes walk from Plaza Catalunya. Each apartment has FREE Wi-Fi Internet access. There are 10 student apartments in the building, all of which are occupied by international students, studying Spanish at our school. The apartments have single rooms and twin rooms, so students can choose to have a room for themselves, or to share a room with another student. Each apartment has a modern fully-fitted kitchen, dining area, flat screen TV, plus two bathrooms. The twin rooms are also available for sole use. There is a maximum of just 5 students per apartment. Rooms with private bathrooms are also available. Many of the rooms have balconies and there are extensive sun terraces on top of the building, which are very popular with students on sunny afternoons after class, and at the weekend.
On-site Superior Residence The residence is located on the floors above the school, so, to get to school each day, students would simply go down the stairs, or use the lift! There is FREE Wi-Fi Internet access in every room of the residence. All the students in the residence are also studying Spanish at the school. As well as their accommodation, they will receive 2 meals a day. Students can also make tea or coffee, or snacks for themselves, in the kitchen. Students can choose to stay in single rooms, twin rooms, or in ‘twin rooms for sole use’. Staying in a twin room for sole use means that students have a twin room (which is considerably larger than a single room), just for them. There are two bathrooms for every three rooms in the student residence. There are also living areas, with flat screen TVs. Rooms are also available with private bathrooms and most rooms also have balconies. There are sun terraces on top of the residence, for students to use in their leisure time.
Spanish Host Families Staying with a Spanish host family is the best option for students who wish to learn as much Spanish as possible in the time available to them. This is because if students choose to stay with a Spanish host family they will be totally immersed in the Spanish language, with lots opportunities to practise with the family the Spanish that they learn in class. All the Spanish host families are carefully selected. A member of staff from the school visits the family to assess their suitability for hosting the students. All families provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for our students.
Standard Residence A student residence is a good option if students wish to stay with students, but do not want to stay in a host family and would prefer not to cook for themselves in a shared apartment. Students can choose to stay in a single room, or in a twin (shared) room. Some residences also have triple rooms. All the residences offer half board (breakfast, plus another meal) accommodation. It is sometimes possible to have bed and breakfast, or full board (3 meals per day). The standard residences offer comfortable accommodation, but not as high a standard as the superior on-site residence.

저는 Camino Barcelona 에서 집중 스페니쉬 프로그램을 4개월간 듣고왔어요. 대학에서 스페인어를 전공했는데 우리나라에는 스페인어 학원이 많이 발달 되어있지도 않고 스페인사람들과 만날 기회도 많지 않아서 어학연수를 다녀오게 되었어요. 마드리드 지역이랑 바르셀로나중에서 고민하다가 저에게 맞는 학교에 가는게 좋을 것 같아서 바르셀로나에 있는 camino에 가게되었어요. 6레벨로 구성되어있고 레벨테스트를 본 후에 실력에 맞는 반으로 배치가되고, 어려우면 반을 내릴수도 있어요. 저는 전공자임에도 불구하고 기초부터 다시 탄탄히 배우고 싶어서 2레벨부터 들었어요. 오전 3시간 오후3시간 이렇게 수업을 듣게되고 주말에는 학교에서 주최하는 이벤트들에 참여하게되요. 매주 새로운 학생들이 오기때문에 환영하는 환영식도 열리고, 학교에서 사귄 친구들이랑 문화체험이나 스페인 지역들을 관광하기 편하도록 학교에서 여러가지 활동들을 제공해주기도하고 관광지를 추천해주기도하고 굉장히 학교에 계신분들은 친절하세요. 기숙사에서 지내도 되고 홈스테이를 신청해도 되는데 저는 학생용 아파트에서 지냈어요. 학교에서 제공하는 아파트이기때문에 다 유학온 외국인 학생들만 살 수 있고 시설도 정말 좋았어요. 외국인 친구들하고도 거의 스페인어로 대화하기 때문에 매일매일 스피킹실력이 늘었던 것 같아요. 학교 시설이나 공부환경, 선생님이나 학생들 모든 면에서 정말 만족해요.
