The Official School of Languages of Blanes offers an Intensive Summer Course to combine a language course with a holiday.
Blanes is a beautiful sunny
town on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the principal
tourist destinations in Spain and is famous for its beaches surrounded by
ever so green mountains and natural parks.
Blanes has a population of about 30,000 inhabitants. It is very well connected with the rest of Catalunya by highway and railway. There is a busy airport (Girona) some 15 miles away, where there are flights connecting to the most important capital cities of Europe. This town offers students fine sandy beaches, exquisite cuisine and an exceptional climate year round.
There are many cultural and sporting events such as: sailing races, theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, etc. And a famous Fireworks Festival, held in the last week of July that will make your stay even more memorable.
The Official School of Languages building is ideally located in the city centre, just a few minutes from the beach.
With a warm climate you can
sunbathe on the beach, take a swim in the Mediterranean Sea, stroll along
the seafront and enjoy water sports, tennis, scuba diving and other activities.
Blanes nightlife is particularly animated. There are many bars, discos and pubs, in the city centre as well as in the surrounding towns, which are also well-known tourist spots, as Calella or Lloret de Mar, among many others.
You can easily reach Barcelona

coach or train. There are a lot of wonderful places you can visit on independent
trips or on the excursions scheduled by the School.
