Stroll out of your student housing and stop at Café Parc Belmont Bar for an espresso. Spend the morning sunning yourself on Platja de la Nova Icària or play ping pong at Parc Del Clot. Next, go shopping at Centro Comercial Glòries or pick up some vintage gems from Mercat dels Encants. In the evening, enjoy some classical music at L’Auditori or see an inspirational talk at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. When you’re ready to refuel, order the chicken tacos at Las Mañanitas Tex Mex Restaurant. End your evening dancing with friends at renowned nightclub Razzmatazz.

Wake up each morning in your dorm room and check your social media updates straight away using the free Wi-Fi.

Get ahead on chores and take a pile of washing to the laundry room.

After a day at university, say hello to the multilingual 24-hour reception staff before heading back to your room. Pick up a snack from the vending machine and relax in the common room. Later, make your way up to the terrace to enjoy a view of the Torre Agbar skyscraper and the city skyline. When the sun goes down, enjoy a cold drink in the on-site bar while you play some pool with other students. If you need somewhere to study, you can ask for access to one of the private meeting rooms. At dinner time, pick up supplies from Mercat Del Clot or treat yourself to a takeaway from Pizza Al Vol.
