The Routes

Hi folks!

Today I am going to introduce one of our new team members. Her name is Becky and she is from UK.

Hi! I’m Becky, I am the new Work Placement student here at Camino Barcelona. I’m currently studying Spanish and Italian at the University of Liverpool. As part of my degree, I have to complete a year abroad and split it between Spain and Italy, to learn more about the cultures and languages of the countries. I’m having such a good time exploring the city, I love it!!

So, let me introduce to you our newest activity here at Camino, City Walks. It is your own personal tour guide to the city. There are two different routes that you can take to discover the real Barcelona. Both tours are recorded on to one small MP3 player, so they are really convenient and easy to use.

They give you total freedom and independence to discover the famous sights in your own time. (more…)

Hello,

We are the champions!!! Incredible but true!!! Champions of Europe and World!!!

Andres Iniesta struck a dramatic winner GOAL to give Spain World Cup glory for the first time but condemned the Netherlands to their third defeat in a final. Justice was done when the Spanish hero struck four minutes from the end of extra time.

The Dutch intended to take Spain away from its graceful passing game. And they frequently did, sometimes with brutal intent.

Enhorabuena!!! Felicidades al mejor equipo del mundo!!!

Thanks to the Paul the ‘Psychic’ Octopus!!! We love you!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
