At Speakeasy BCN, we go beyond delivering top-notch education
We have a really vibrant atmosphere at Speakeasy BCN, where you get much more than just a great education. As an integral part of our immersive learning program, we offer our students a dynamic activities lineup designed to truly connect them with Barcelona.
While many other schools repeat the same monthly cycle of on-site activities — like cooking classes, dance lessons, or standard city tours — we take the time to plan tailor-made outings with our students that go far beyond what they’d find on their own. From new gallery openings and cultural events to lesser-known authentic spots like neighborhood bars, cafés, and hiking trails, our goal is to help you experience the city as a local, not just a tourist.
Our dedicated Activities Coordinators are international locals who know what’s going on in the city. They curate opportunities that feel fresh, authentic, and exciting, so there’s always something new to discover. From social gatherings and sporty adventures to parties, excursions, and cultural events, there is something for everyone. They also take care of all the logistics and make sure every student feels comfortable joining in — so your only focus is to enjoy the experience, make lasting friendships, and keep practicing Spanish outside the classroom.

Mixing culture with social and exciting activities, there’s always something for everyone to enjoy
At Speakeasy BCN, our activities aren’t just a side note to your studies, they’re an essential part of your cultural immersion. Unlike many schools that rely on a fixed calendar of the same monthly activities, we go beyond the predictable tours and on-site events. Our team carefully curates a varied lineup every week so that you’re constantly discovering something new and authentic about Barcelona.
Get to know your classmates and mingle with locals over local tapas in hidden neighborhood bars, dance the night away at rooftop parties, or catch the thrill of an FC Barcelona match at Camp Nou. For active students, we organize bike tours, hiking trips, beach volleyball, and yoga in the park. Food lovers can dive into cooking workshops, vineyard visits, and markets off the tourist trail. If adventure calls, join us on catamaran cruises, art and gallery openings, or
We also love taking students further afield, weekend excursions by bus to Costa Brava, Sitges, Valencia, France, or Andorra give you the chance to explore even more.
Every activity is designed with our students in mind: fun, social, and rooted in the real culture of Barcelona. With Speakeasy BCN, your time outside the classroom is just as enriching as your time in it, making your learning experience truly unforgettable.

We make sure that our students have a great time, all the time, inside the classroom and out.
The amount I've progressed is tremendous. One of the main reasons I've advanced so far in my ability to speak, listen and write is due to the phenomenal teachers at this school. I had 4 different teachers with their own unique styles. I can say that every single one was amazing and pushed me to get to the point where I am now. I can now confidently say I speak Spanish and navigate myself through Spain without so much fear of having to communicate. I have met many students from other language schools who switched to Speakeasy and all of them have told me this school is the best Spanish learning school they've gone to due to the amazing professors.
