You will be staying in a residence hall in a furnished double studio with one other program participant. Each studio includes a twin bed, desk space, a wardrobe for each person and a shared bathroom with shower.
UC Davis reserves the right to change the accommodation location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners and other modern conveniences may not be available in all locations.
Meals
Breakfast is included in the program fee. A few select meals will be provided as part of the program activities. There are also several restaurant and food options in the area and beyond for any meals not taken at the residence hall.

Get to Know Your Destination
Barcelona is the capital and the largest city of Catalonia in Spain. Around 4.8 million people call the city and surrounding areas home. This puts Barcelona in the top ten most populous urban areas of Europe. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona enjoys an influential status as one of the world’s major global cities in regards to tourism, economics, science, art and culture.
Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk
Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
