Hi everyone!
Christmas is already around the corner! You can feel it everywhere in the street… the Cathedral and here in Camino. We all are in a Christmas mood 
My colleague Cassandra has decided to write something about Christmas in Spain:
Hi everybody,
With the holiday season around the corner and being so far away from home, I long for some sort of feeling that Christmas is coming. But now the lights are up along Passeig de Gracia and it really makes the difference!
As a study-abroad student, one of the most disheartening things is missing all of my family’s preholiday preparations. Coming from an Italian-Catholic family, Christmas is a huge deal in my household. My mother starts Christmas shopping in September, cooking up to a month before the holiday, our house is decorated with lights inside and out, and the amount of guests in attendance at our Christmas festivities is around 35 people.

Hi there!
How are you? Enjoying your time in Barcelona? I guess yes!
Cassandra who is a great dancer decided to write a blog about “El palau de la musica catalana” where amazing dance and musical shows take place.
Cass, it’s up to you!
The Art of Performance
As a dancer, I always enjoy visiting the different theatres and performance spaces in different cities.
Coming from New York, (one of the dance capitals of the United States and home to the best Broadway shows), I have either been a
part of or have attended many performances in my lifetime. From this experience, I can confidently say that there is some truth behind the fact that the theatre itself has the ability to enhance or in some cases, diminish the performance quality of a show. For example, Radio City Music Hall in New York holds much historical significance for the city and its beautifully designed theatre can leave an audience member awestruck upon entering.
Though many of New York’s theatres are impressive, they’re impressive in a much different manner from those of Barcelona.
