Mi vida en Barcelona!

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Hi everyboy,

Today I’m going to introduce one of our new team member: Alex from UK and she is doing a work placement with us:

Hi everybody, my name’s Alex and I’m one of the lucky work experience students who gets to experience life in Barcelona whilst working for Camino.

I’ve been here 3 months so far and have had a brilliant time! It’s been great meeting all of our students this summer and really interesting to meet so many people from such a wide range of different cultures. Not only have the students been lovely but I’m sure you’ll find as I have, that all of the teachers and staff here at Camino are fantastic, and there is always someone ready and willing to give you a hand.

When I’m not at work I’ve been busy exploring the sights that this beautiful city has to offer- taking a few tips from
the activities that the school offers everyday so that I always know the best places to go. (more…)

Las Castañadas

Hi folks!

Once again and with great pleasure I am going to introduce one of our new team members. Her name is Simona and she is doing a work placement with us:


Hi everybody,

My name is Simona and I’m doing an intership here at Camino Barcelona. I studied Social and Cultural Anthropology at University in the Czech Republic and I wanted to benefit from practical experience abroad. When I was thinking about where to go I remembered that I spent a half year in Granada and I loved it. So I decided to go to Spain again. I chose Barcelona because it is an international city where there are lots of work opportunities and you can find a mixture of cultures.

Today I would like to focus on the Catalan celebration of All Saints on 31st October. This “fiesta” is called Castañada and immediately you will find out why. It has a very nice background to it which I will tell you about now. (more…)
