LOCATION
Sant Just Desvern
The Real Spain. Ten Minutes from Barcelona.
Our students live and learn in Sant Just Desvern — a beautiful, safe, walkable residential town just 10 minutes outside Barcelona.
Far from the noise and tourist crowds of the city center, Sant Just is clean, calm, and deeply local: the kind of place where neighbors know each other, where kids play outside, and where the pace of life lets you actually absorb the culture around you.
It's the perfect base: authentic Spanish everyday life on your doorstep, with Barcelona — and everything it offers — just a short ride away.

HOST FAMILIES
Not a hotel. Not a dorm. A home.
Our students stay with carefully selected local host families — real families who genuinely want to share their culture, their routines, and their lives with a teenager from across the world.
These are young, active families with children of their own, living in some of the most welcoming residential communities in Catalonia. They're doing this because they're curious about the world and want to offer an experience they know will matter.
Every host family is personally vetted, trained, and supported by our team throughout the program. Students are never placed and forgotten — we see their families every single day.

Afternoon
Activities, workshops , and time with your host family and friends. From cooking classes to art, water sports to flamenco -everyday is different (3 days a week).
Noon
After morning classes, students head home for a proper Spanish lunch — the main meal of the day. Time to enjoy with your family, cool off by the pool, and recharge before the afternoon's adventures.
Evening
Dinner with your host family. This is where the real immersion happens -real conversations, real culture, real life.
Weekends
One full day of group adventure (Montserrat, Costa Brava or the best of Barcelona...). The other day is yours with your host family.

Not your typical language holiday.
Plenty of companies send teens to Spain for the summer.
What makes Vivid Spanish different?
We don't just teach Spanish.
We make you live it!
This is not mass educational tourism.

match them with the right host family
-
design an experience that truly fits
