Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Hey everybody!

How are you all?? Waiting for the weekend to begin??

Most of you might have seen me working in the school before, but as this is my first blog I write, I’d first like to introduce myself to you: I’m Isabell from Germany and I’m doing an Internship here at Camino for almost four months now. I was living in Spain a few years ago and I always wanted to come back!! So now I’m here, enjoying this unique experience at Camino :D  …..this is a great opportunity for me and I really love working here!!

Today finally I’ve got time to write my first blog. Thinking about the subject of my blog there suddenly came a theme to my mind, which is pretty relevant for all of you guys coming to Barcelona for a period of time: “Where should I stay here in Barcelona?”. Well, due to my own experience I can tell you that it’s not as easy as it seems to find a room in Barcelona. Although there are a lot of people offering rooms here, actually it’s quite difficult to find one reasonable in price, clean, well located and with nice roommates!! (more…)

¡Los poetas de navidad!

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

¡Hola a todos!

Estea vez el blog es en español y esta dedicado a los poetas de Camino Barcelona que han creado poesías sobre Navidad :D

Abajo encontraraís las poesias de cada uno, que han estado inspiradas por un fuerte espíritu navideño :)

La poesía de Karin:

“Una rima por Navidad”

“¡Mira, mira!” grita la señora Helen,
cuando ha visto el Belén.
Las calles están llenas de luces,
y los hombres llevan todos pantalones.
Toda la gente habla de la crisis,
por esto la navidad recibe un matiz.
Los padres corren por los regalos,
en un día, las tiendas estarán saturadas.
Los tres famosos Reyes Magos,
que nosotros visitamos cada domingo. (more…)
