Located less than 30 minutes from Barcelona, the Mediterranean city of Mataró dates back some 2,000 years, originally the site of the Roman village Iluro. Today it is a bustling city of 120,000 with nearly ideal climate, offering a spacious beach, parks, universities, restaurants, outdoor cafés, brand-name shops, a large commercial centre, and modern hospital. Students train with professionals, enjoy the beach or swimming pool, and study Spanish or English with experienced and qualified teachers. In the evening, students participate in activities or enjoy their free time, returning to their host families by a designated hour. Students spend their days in the Mediterranean sun in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, living with hospitable and helpful host families (who provide three meals per day) in a manageable and amicable small-sized city.
