Once a week Olé invites to an informal get-together in the city center. It’s open to all students of the school. The idea is to meet and mingle and to get to know each other whilst exploring the city’s urban nightlife. Join us!
Date: Every Thursday, weekly
Meeting Point: Metro Stop Jaume I
Time: 21:30
|
Our classroom teaching method combines theory and grammatical exercises with conversation and cultural immersions. The following activities are available on a weekly basis. For more information, please ask at the reception.
Barrio Gótico Tour
The Gothic Quarter is the oldest part of Barcelona and its ancient winding streets, hidden squares and impressive gothic architecture,
 such as the gothic cathedral, make it very popular. Despite several changes undergone in the 19th and early 20th century, many of the buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south. El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is located within this area too. Literally a city within a city, it’s understandable why travellers earmark the barrio Gótico to visit; the district could be explored forever, having countless cultural features to enjoy.

Montjuic Tour
Several thousand years ago, Iberic Celts settled on the Montjuïc, a 213m high hill southeast of Barcelona's current city center. The hill was later used by the Romans as a ceremonial place. Today the hill features a large number of sights and attractions, most of them originating from two major events that took place here: the 1929 International Exhibition and the 1992 Olympics.
Palau Nacional: One of these sights is the Palau Nacional (National Palace), the central pavilion of the International Exhibition. The majestic building in neo-baroque style is home to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). Its collection includes Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art as well as 19th and 20th century works of art.
Magic Fountain: At the center of a plaza in front of the Palau Nacional is the Font Màgica or Magic Fountain. From here, you have a great view of the palace, especially at night when both the building and the fountain are illuminated.
Anella Olímpica: Montjuïc is also home to the Anella Olímpica (Olympic Ring) which consists of a number of sports facilities built for the 1992 Olympics. At the center of the ring is the Olympic Stadium. Its exterior dates from 1929 but the interior of the stadium was completely rebuilt for the Olympics.
Montjuïc Gardens: With the arrival of the Olympics in 1992, the many gardens on the Montjuïc were given renewed attention and since several new gardens were added. Some of the most interesting are the Nou Jardí Botànic, a botanic garden with more than 2000 different plants created in the 1990s and the Jardins de Mossen Costra i Lljobera, with hundreds of different types of cactuses.

Montserrat and Sitges Tour
Montserrat is a mountain near Barcelona, in Catalonia. It is the site of a Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary and is identified by some with the location of the Holy Grail in Arthurian myth.
"Montserrat" literally means "jagged (serrated) mountain" in Catalan. It describes the peculiar aspect of the rock formation, which is visible from a great distance. The mountain is composed of strikingly pink conglomerate, a form of sedimentary rock, popular with climbers. From Monteserrat it is only a stone throw to Sitges, a charming costal town with a charming old town center and beautiful beaches.
