¡Hola a todos!
Today I will talk about the Tibidado…
Tibidabo is the highest hill in Barcelona and it reaches 512 m.
It’s great to go there on a sunny day as you can see the whole city and Montserrat, too.
The name “Tibidabo” comes from the devil, who, trying to tempt Jesus Christ, took him to this high place and said, in latin: “Haec omnia tibi dabo si cadems adorabeis me” (I will give you all these things if you withdraw and adore me). (more…)

¡Hola a todos!

I’m a football fan, so when I chose Barcelona I knew I had to go to the biggest football field in Europe - the ‘Camp Nou’ with over 100 000 seats. The atmosphere in the city on a games day is INCREDIBLE; all the newspapers and the people talk about the game, how the players feel and FC Barcelona shirts and flags are everywhere around the enormous stadium and all over the city.

The journey to the stadium in the metro is an experience in itself! The crowds are singing, having fun and making as much noise as possible until they get there - quite different to how it is in Germany.

Hi everybody!

Last weekend was really amazing!

The weather was perfect and I decided to spend the whole day on the beach. I relaxed for a while and then had a walk all around the Barceloneta “barrio” (neighbourhood).  In the past this area was mainly inhabited by fishermen, but now it’s full of nice restaurants, bars and clubs. 

On Saturday, I went there with Sylvia, my German housemate, and we were surprised by all the different languages being spoken around us: English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, …and we were speaking German!  Once more, we experienced the multicultural atmosphere of this city!

¡Hola!

My name is Felipe Leindecker. I lived and grew up in Brazil but I moved to Cologne, Germany, some years ago. I am now in Barcelona, last week I started my Work Experience in Camino Barcelona. Our colleague Verena is going back to Germany and I am staying until the end of November.

In Germany I study International Trade and Applied Languages. I am learning German, Spanish, English and Italian. My native language is Portuguese. As part of my University course, I have to do an Internship in a foreign country where one of the above mentioned languages are spoken. The first place I thought of was Barcelona.

I visited Barcelona for the first time 4 years ago, and I absolutely loved it! I did not want to go back to Germany ever again after that, but I had to do it. In these 4 years I have visited other places around Europe and South America, and I can certainly say that I did not like anywhere else like I loved Barcelona.
