What I liked: the studio is an interesting place, I met some nice people and I liked the multicultural neighborhood with good bars.
What I didn’t like: the apartment is old and quite dirty, guest's room has no window and I couldn’t sleep at night because of the noise. I didn’t get to know much about jazz culture.

We had plenty time to go explore Barcelona and experience… read more

I stayed in Barcelona for 2 weeks and had a great time! Getting to know the swing dance culture was a really cool experience. I also was able to do some graphic design and help with making drinks for the dance parties. Everyone I met at the studio was super friendly and willing to practice Spanish while providing a proper cultural experience.… read more
