Join us this Wednesday at 18.30h with Speakeasy´s very own Joan in a virtual trip to Cuba! He will guide us through one of the most peculiar countries of America via its lesser-known landscapes, music, its revolution, a writer and some typical drinks.

This Friday, May 1st, is Día Internacional del Trabajador (Labor day in some countries). Join our very own Laura (this Wednesday, 29/04 at 17.30h) as she takes us through the history of this international day in Barcelona from its origins to its significance and representation in current times.

In this virtual culture class we will learn about Miguel de Cervantes and Federico García Lorca. Our Speakeasy teacher, Laura, will enlighten us on these two Spanish writers widely regarded as the greatest writers in the Spanish language.

Join our Speakeasy teacher, Joan, as he paints a picture of Barcelona’s diverse neighborhoods and history though the lens of literature.

All past, present, and future students are welcome!

Located in between the Gothic Quarter and the Ciutadella Park, El Born is one of Barcelona‘s trendiest and most popular neighborhoods. Home to some of the oldest buildings in the city, it is not only one of the most historic areas of Barcelona but also one of its liveliest. Join us this Wednesday, 15/04, at 18hs with our own Speakeasy teacher, Laura, to learn about this gem of a neighborhood!

Join us this Wednesday, 08/04 at 18.30h, with our own Speakeasy teacher, Xavi, for a conversation about the life and history of the famous Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí.

One of the best parts of winter in Catalonia? The calçotada!
The calçotada is one of the biggest food events of the year. Dip the end of grilled spring onions into a savoury romesco sauce.

The weather getting warmer means patio season has begun!
Let's visit one of the many rooftop bars in Barcelona for a relaxing drink and beautiful sunset.

We are going to Sant Medir festival, also known as 'the sweetest festival' because of the 60 tons of sweets that are given away during the colourful Sant Medir procession with over 120 horses taking part.

One of the best viewpoints to watch the sun go down? The Bunkers del Carmel! We will go up to the top of the city on Saturday afternoon and spend our time there chatting, snacking and watching the golden light descend over Barcelona.

Let's enjoy some Spanish food for a very cheap price together! If you come with us to Croqueteca on Thursday you'll get everything for 1€: Croquetas, tapas and drinks. Sounds tempting, right?

Are you a new student? Or maybe you're just feeling social and want to get to know some of the faces you study with? We´re having a meet & greet in a bar nearby!

We´re going to the Sitges Carnival! Get yourself a costume together because this will be EPIC. We'll get our party juices flowing at Bar D9 in Barcelona. Then, we'll go to Sitges by bus and have some free time to party in the streets and watch the famous parade!

Ready to test your knowledge in something other than irregular Spanish verbs? We'll use our collective knowledge in a fun pub quiz to see which team comes out on top!

You cannot technically say you've lived in Barcelona until you've spent an evening at La Xampanyeria. What looks like a little hole-in-the-wall is one of Barcelona's best cava caves!

We´re going on a day trip to Montserrat! We will hike up to the highest peak, Sant Jeroni, and eat lunch between the mysterious mountain peaks and then return down. We´ll also enter the Monastery!

Vermut is a classic and typical drink from Barcelona. On Thursday we´ll be attending a class to learn about this traditional drink. We'll learn to make some vermut-based cocktails and then end up making one of our own choice (and drinking it of course)!

Taco Tuesday is here! We´re going to Taco Alto (just across the street from Speakeasy) to enjoy some tacos! The space is perfect for hanging out, so let's relish the Mexican flavours and have some tasty food and drinks together!

We´re going to Clubhaus for dinner and drinks, but this is not your typical restaurant! Like a big clubhouse for adults, we can entertain ourselves afterwards with pingpong, board games and even karaoke!

We´re going to the very cool Retrome Bar near Plaça Tetuan to watch a horror movie! There will be a screening of highly popular 2017 film "Get Out"!

The weather's getting nice and warm (at least that's what they say) so we're going to take advantage of the sun in our city and enjoy a rooftop bar!

For those who want a little adventure out of the city, you'll LOVE the Congost de Mont Rebei! We'll walk along a path carved into the sheer mountain wall and look down at the beautiful blue water below. I'm sure you've never seen anything like this before!

Do you get inspired by speaking to new people? What about speaking other languages? Whether you want to socialize or just to put your Spanish-speaking abilities to good use, we're attending a language exchange at a cute, inviting bar!
