Hi guys,

This time Dörte will present herself, Barcelona and Hamburg ….

Hola chic@s,

I’m Dörte from Germany, more precisely from Hamburg and I’m working as a work placement trainee at Camino since the beginning of January.

I’m very comfortable in Barcelona already. I think it’s easy for me to feel at home because there are many things which are quiet similar between Hamburg and Barcelona:

Both cities have almost two million inhabitants, both are the second largest city of their countries (only the capitals, Berlin and Madrid, are bigger) and both are situated in the north. Moreover, both Hamburg and Barcelona are cool and multicultural ports with all kinds of shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, theatres and other (more…)

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…)

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…)
