In Spain, masks are no longer mandatory, except on public transport, visiting a hospital or care home.

Teenagers aged 12 to 17 travelling to Spain from outside the EU or the Schengen bloc can enter with just a negative PCR test carried out within 72 hours before arrival. Children under 12 years of age do not require a negative test or vaccination.

All adult arrivals to Spain from the UK must present proof of vaccination or documentation that certifies they have recovered from a COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months.

For proof of vaccination, at least 14 days must have passed since being fully vaccinated before arrival in Spain. The date(s) of vaccination must be specified and the final dose must have been administered within 270 days prior to travel. If the vaccination was completed more than 270 days prior to travel, proof of having received a booster jab must be shown. Booster jabs can be administered at any time prior to travel to Spain (May 26, 2022).

The Barcelona area offers a range of settings for geography fieldwork unrivalled in Europe. The city of Barcelona presents a fascinating case study of many of the major themes of urban growth and development. Field studies in the unspoiled National Parks that surround the city include coastal management, river processes, dune ecosystems, limestone and volcanic landscapes.

We offer a variety of accommodation options for groups attending our field study courses. The Artur Martorell Rural Lodge in Calafell has purpose-built facilities and accommodation for educational study group and lies at the lower end of the budget range.

Most groups prefer hotel accommodation, and the Hotel Subur located in Sitges, one of Spain's most attractive, cosmopolitan and prestigious resorts, is a very popular choice.

Barcelona Field Studies Centre offers fully inclusive Geography, Geology, Biology, Ecology, Environmental and Tourism field study courses to U.K. and International schools and colleges throughout the year in an outstanding geographical environment.
