Camino Barcelona Blog

Hello everyone!

This time I want to talk to you about the activity that was very successful last week: Barceloneta and the ICEBAR.

On Thursday 7th April we went for a walk through the Barceloneta neighbourhood, an old neighbourhood of fishers, which was La Ribera neighbourhood situated in Cuidadela but which was moved to Barceloneta when Felipe V decided to build the fortress in the form of a star that now accommodates the Ciutadella Park.

Barceloneta is a neighbourhood that has changed a lot and now, enjoys a sea view and the neighbourhood is very modern because we can find lots of other bars and restaurants, for example: The ICEBAR

This bar, which can also be found in other big cities throughout the world, is made completely out of ice. It has a temperature of -10°C, so it is best to come to the bar well prepared, with a coat and thick gloves.

Finaly, once inside the bar, enjoy a cocktail in an ice glass. It is an original experience and fun but above all, remember that the temperature outside of the bar, in Barcelona on that day, was more than 20°C.

Cheers,

Marta

Hi everyone,

This is my first blog here and I would like to introduce myself: my name is Marta, and I have been a teacher here at Camino since July 2007. As I used to work in the Tourist Industry as a Tourist Guide, I would like to tell you a little bit about the cultural activities we offer here at Camino.

The activities we offer aim to help our students get to know each other a little better at the same time as visiting and exploring some of the fascinating places which the fantastic city of Barcelona has to offer. We try to choose activities which have a good balance between the rich cultural life of Barcelona whilst being fun at the same time.

In today’s blog I am going to talk to you about an activity I have always wanted to do with Camino students: a language exchange. (more…)
