I enjoyed spending time at the polo club in barcelona as i became very good friends with the people there. the parties we had were incredible! primarily in clubs such as Carpe Diem or Buddah Bar. Favorite nightspots have to be Marie Cubie for bar hopping and then onto one of the surrounding clubs nearby.

Would not recommend the dorms as I knew a number of people who stayed there but you dont get what you pay for and miss out on the experience of living in one of the amazing places Barcelona has to offer.
