Trips & Activities

The several-day art history trip at the beginning of the semester is a distinctive feature of BCA Barcelona. During the first semester, the trip takes place in Leon, Astorga and Burgos, in the North of Spain. In the spring, the group goes to Andalucia, to the cities of Granada, Sevilla and Cordoba.

In addition, excursions organized by BCA have included day trips touring the medieval town of Besalu and the Olympic lake of Banyoles, visiting Cistersian monasteries in Tarragona, exploring the volcanic area of Gerona, cooking a traditional "calcotada" in a Catalan country house or visiting Picasso's museum in the land of his first cubist painting.

During the semester, as an integral part of classes, BCA organizes visits to relevant political or historical sites of the city. In the past, students have visited the History Museum of the City of Barcelona, the National Museum of Catalunya, the Miro Museum, Barcelona’s City Hall and the “Palau de la Generalitat” (the Catalan government headquarters), among others.

BCA Barcelona also organizes a semi-formal social gathering during the semester for its students and the University of Barcelona students who have studied in the US through BCA.
