What BIS nights actually feel like

Barcelona International Social is for people who want Barcelona to feel fun and alive. We meet in the best places, with the best hosts, and make it easy to walk in by yourself and join the conversation.

Most weeks you will find language exchanges in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and more, plus dinners, brunches, running, paddle surf, hiking, and nights out.

Come for one plan, then choose the next one. A drink after work can turn into a Saturday trip, a dance class, or a table of people you already know next week.

A: Not at all! Our language exchanges are designed for all language levels. You're more than welcome, whether you're a beginner or a fluent speaker!
