Special offer for your Christmas Course!

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

Hey everybody!

How are you? If you are here in Barcelona, are you enjoying our indian summer? There were so many people on the beach this week-end!!!

Today Vahri decided she would write a blog about our Special Offer for our courses taking place just before (or during) Christmas. Do not miss them!

Hi guys,

I hope you have all been taking full advantage of these unusual hot and sunny days for September and getting some last minute bronzing in!

I just wanted to fill you all in on some limited special offers that we have just introduced!

If you have enjoyed Barcelona by summer, I’m sure you’ll love ‘Barcelona does Christmas’! A little early for planning Christmas you might be thinking? I would usually agree, but not when there’s a bargain to be had! From now until September the 30th, you can bag yourself a saving of €20 off ANY course starting on the 19th and 26th of December or the 2nd of January! This is an offer not to be missed as Christmas is one of the most exciting times of the year in Barcelona with hundreds festivities to get involved with.

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Hi everybody,

Today Vahri, our new trainee has decided to write a post on one of the biggest celebrations in Barcelona: “La Merce”. Read it carefully. She will give you many tips.

Have a gorgeous sunny week-end if you are here in Barcelona!!!

 

Hi guys,

My name is Vahri, I’m the newest work experience recruit at Camino Barcelona! I arrived here about 3 weeks ago and I have loved every minute so far! Barcelona is one of the most welcoming cities I’ve been to; everyone I know who has been here raves on about how lucky I am to spend a year here so I hope there will be lots of good times ahead! I already feel at home here and I’m sure that you will feel the same if you decide to pay a trip to this amazing city! One thing that I LOVE about Barcelona is that you can never get bored! There is always some form of party to go to, a street festival or a cultural event going on. In my three weeks here I’ve already been to two massive street festivals and there are more to come!

Work Placements at Camino Barcelona

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Good afternoon everybody!

September is just around the corner and it is still so warm in Barcelona!

Today, Cara, our new intern at Camino Barcelona will give you her first impressions about the city and the school. Enjoy reading it!

Hello everyone!

My name is Cara and I am a new intern here at Camino Barcelona.

I will be spending six months working here as part of my degree in Modern Languages at Newcastle University, in England. As you may have heard before, Newcastle is a lively city, well known for its wild nightlife, but I am originally from a much quieter town (also in the north of England) called York.

As I’m more accustomed to smaller cities, Barcelona has been a big change for me! I particularly wanted to come here for my internship because, after studying a few months of Catalan, I learnt a lot about the vibrant and unique culture of this region. It seems to me that no where else offers such varied and interesting festivals that take place all year round. So whenever you choose to visit there’s always something spectacular to see and I’m really looking forward to getting involved over the next few months.
