The Residencia Universitaria Josep Manyanet is located in the upscale residential area of Barcelona known as Les Corts. During the academic year, the residence, which is operated by the religious order of the Sons of the Sagrada Familia and named for the order’s founder, houses students from the University of Barcelona.
Josep Manyanet is centrally located in the city, equidistant from two main arteries, Avenida Diagonal and Avenida Entença. The residence is ten minutes from the elegant shopping district around the Passeig de Gràcia, and walking distance to many of the city’s monuments and museums. It is convenient to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and cafés, as well as to all forms of public transportation.
Each room has its own bathroom, and the residence is fully air conditioned. Students eat breakfast and dinner at the residence restaurant; all classes are held on site and in adjacent buildings. There is a rooftop garden where students can sunbathe, play volleyball or just enjoy the spectacular view of the city. La Academia de España also has access to a fully equipped gym, tennis courts, and basketball courts.
