Help and Suggestions please!

OK, I have a dilemma on my hands. I am supposed to leave for Barcelona in 10 days to visit my boyfriend who is studying there. Well, go figure, we just broke up and he thinks it would be a bad idea for me to come out. Besides my broken heart and fury at him for leaving me hanging, fact is that I still have a ticket to Barcelona. Does anyone have any suggestions of homestays, yoga ashrams, farms or anything else (not necessarily in Barcelona) that I could get into on this short of notice?! (I am on a tight budget and my Spanish is beginner level) I was planning on staying until the end of March and also am registered to run the Barcelona marathon on March 2. Thanks for any help!!!!

You could go to a Spanish school for a couple of months.

I've looked at some and they all seem pretty expensive. Problem is I wasn't planning on spending lots of money since he and I were going to split everything. Are their any language programs that you suggest?

Also, I don't have an EU passport so I am assuming work will be difficult to find. Any suggestions about that?

Muchas Gracias!!
