Dear Parent/Guardian,
There are currently a limited number of places still available for the four day/three night excursion to Barcelona, Spain departing Thursday 22nd May 2025 and returning Sunday 25th May 2025 (flights times to be confirmed).
The visit will provide the opportunity for students to explore the culture, art and language of this amazing city and will allow students to apply their learning beyond the classroom.
The cost of the trip will be £900. This price includes:
- Flights
- Coach transfers in the UK and Spain
- Accommodation in Barcelona
- Breakfast
- Evening meals
- An excursion to the Gaudi Park, a guided tour of the Sagrada Familia and a guided Picasso and Dali art tour around Barcelona
- Transport around the City of Barcelona
Students will need to bring money for lunch whilst abroad and for both journeys in addition to a small amount of spending money.
Students must currently have a valid passport which was issued less than 10 years prior to the date we enter Spain (Thursday 22nd May 2025) and is valid for 3 months after the day we leave Spain (Sunday 25th May 2025).
Students should also have a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) in order to travel. The medical insurance cards can be obtained online for free if you do not already have one.
There are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for travellers entering Spain. Travel requirements to Spain can be checked using the following link https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements
