School description

The camp is located just a few minutes from the heart of Barcelona, in Castelldefels, which offers more than 5 kilometers of fine-sand beaches. It lies right on the coast, between the Mediterranean Sea and the landscapes of Garraf Natural Park. Castelldefels is recognized as a Sports Tourism Destination by the Catalan Tourism Agency, making it an ideal place to live if you are a lover of outdoor activities. The student residence is located within the UPC university in the metropolitan area of Barcelona and very well connected: 10 minutes by car from the airport, 15 minutes by train or car from Barcelona and 10 minutes from the beach by foot.

24/7 Supervision
Our highest priority is the safety and welfare of every Don Quijote adventurer. Our staff is attentive at all times and camp counselors supervise students' needs 24 hours a day.
