Catalonia Location Guide Spanish Language CATALONIA LOCATION GUIDE SPANISH LANGUAGE Exceptional Tours Expertly Delivered Our location guide offers you information on the range of visits available in Catalonia. All visits are selected with your subject and the curriculum in mind, along with the most popular choices for sightseeing, culture and leisure in the area. The information in your location guide has been provided by our partners in Catalonia who have expert on the ground knowledge of the area, combined with advice from education professionals so that the visits and information recommended are the most relevant to meet your learning objectives. Making Life Easier for You This location guide is not a catalogue of opening times. Our Tour Experts will design your itinerary with opening times and location in mind so that you can really maximise your time on tour. Our location guides are designed to give you the information that you really need, including what are the highlights of the visit, location, suitability and educational resources. We’ll give you top tips like when is the best time to go, dress code and extra local knowledge. Peace of Mind So that you don’t need to carry additional money around with you we will state in your initial quote letter, which visits are included within your inclusive tour price and if there is anything that can’t be pre-paid we will advise you of the entrance fees so that you know how much money to take along. You also have the added reassurance that, WST is a member of the STF and our featured visits are all covered as part of our externally verified Safety Management System. SPANISH LANGUAGE VISITS Catalonia is a great place for some intensive learning whilst having fun. Students can practise their language in structured environment with a workshop and then have more free flow by practising in the shops or whilst visiting excursions. The aim is that they will come back more confident in all areas, reading, listening and speaking and will increase their knowledge / vocab range. Language Workshops Students will take part in listening and speaking sessions based around your key topics. They are ideal for preparation and practise in the morning before going out and about in the afternoon to try out their new range of vocabulary. Once a workshop is booked we arrange for the teachers to contact you direct to discuss your students’ ability and study topics to ensure they will match learning objectives of the tour and keep the students attention. A wide range of workshops are available including : Llorett Calella Barcelona Calafell Salou LAS RAMBLAS TREASURE HUNT & COASTAL TOWN TRAILS A great way for your students to practise their spoken and written language whilst exploring the Las Ramblas area. Our exclusive, free 90 minute Treasure Hunt along Las Ramblas encourages groups to interact with the street, take photos and have fun together. We also have free town trails for a number of resorts along the Catalonia coast. THE GAME Your students will divide into teams and with a guide they will discover Barcelona via a series of challenges based around the 5 senses. Challenges include tapas tasting, listening to Spanish tunes and puzzle solving. This can be run in Spanish or in English dependent on your requirements and abilities. The challenge will last for 2 hours and the winning team will win t-shirts. DAY IN THE LIFE OF PEDRO This is a group activity which takes students through a typical day in the life of Pedro, from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed at night. Each part of the day has a language challenge which they need to fulfil in order to continue to the next moment of the day. Poble Espanyol Otherwise known as the Spanish Village. Located in the Monjuic area this is a reconstruction of a traditional Spanish village with traditional buildings, craft shops and cafes.

La Boqueria market runs Monday to Saturday mornings on the Ramblas or contact us for details of market days in Girona, Tossa de Mar, Sitges and many more. Spanish Film Night If you want to improve their Spanish whilst keeping them busy in the evening, ask us about arranging a film night at the hotel. Many hotels can supply a range of DVD’s and have a TV in a meeting room that you could pre-book.

El Programa va néixer l’estiu del 1990 i al 2017 la Xarxa de vigilancia està composada per 253 zones de bany costaneres i 13 zones de bany interior. A totes elles s’efectuen, controls analítics periòdics a les aigües de bany (9 a les aigües costaneres i 5 a les interiors) i amb els resultats de cada control es publica una classificació temporal de la qualitat que es va actualitzant durant la temporada de bany. Al finalitzar la temporada s’obté la classificació anual considerant, conjuntament, els resultats de tots els controls dels darrers 4 anys, tal com marquen les directives.
