Hi everyone!

I hope you all are fine and are enjoying these spring days in Barcelona!

I’m Genta, 23 years old and Albanian. I’ve started working here in Camino Barcelona two weeks ago. I’m enjoying this new experience very much. I Like a lot the atmosphere here in the school and I’m learning new things on my work every day.

Hi! I’m Alex and the ”new one” working at the reception As it’s just my second week I can’t give so many hot tips where to go out, eat, etc. but as you may have already noticed, I’m presenting you the daily activities, and tomorrow we have a special one, because it is St. Jordi’s Day! (more…)

Hello everybody!!

How are you all doing??

Today is a very nice day here in Barcelona! I’m also very happy because I am going to Italy for some days to visit my family and friends there!!! But even if I will be on holidays, I would first like to give you some tips for these days…

Today I’m going to talk to you about three novels, which action is set here in Barcelona, had a huge success internationally and I highly recommend to everybody!

As you probably know, I really love books and I hope one day I could have my own publishing house!

These 3 books I am going to talk to you about are not part of my academic studies, as I read them during my free time, but I definetly loved them! The books are:

“La Sombra del Viento” (”The shadow of the wind”) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón; “Nada” (”Nothing”) by Carmen Laforet and “La Catedral del Mar” ( “The Cathedral of the sea”) by Ildefons Falcones.

All these 3 writers are from Barcelona and they give very accurate descriptions of the city in 3 different historical periods. (more…)

Hello everybody!!!

Here I’m back again with some news about places, where to go, what to do and “Where-can-I-learn salsa” in Barcelona!

In this very last period, salsa seems to be very “popular” here and lots of students at school also ask us about “salsotecas” an places where they can take some classes!

After having talked with some of them, the most popular ones are: (more…)

Hello everybody,

Today is such a wonderful day! The sun is shining and the birds are singing! I’m in a good mood because we’ll have St. Valentin tomorrow! I hope spring will come soon to Barcelona! What do you do on such nice days like today? (apart from coming to Camino Barcelona, I mean)

Now I would like to tell you something about a very special event that took place at the end of January this year. The Spanish film world went wild because the best Spanish actors, producers and directors were awarded with the most popular film prizes: Los Premios Goya! (more…)

Hola a todos!

Today I am going to talk to you about something that’s not so amazing, but very useful for all the students studying in Barcelona.

Based on my personal experience as a university student here in Barcelona, I can tell you that there are so many libraries where you can study, consult books, borrow music or read specific magazines!

Basically, I used to spend most of my time at the Univeristy libraries but I discovered that you can easily get a card in any of the public city libraries instantly! With this card you can check on internet the books you want and reserve them to borrwo, surf the web on the wi-fi area, read magazines in the confortable ‘reading area’ …

As Daniel has already told you, this week on Thursday 31st January, we will go to the Barcelona Football Club Stadium - ‘Nou Camp’ to watch the football match for the “Spanish Cup” quarter finals between Barça and Villareal!!!

As many of you probably know, it seems that Barça is not going to win the Liga (Spanish Premier League) this year. Some people say it is because of their irregular game and all the physical problems that some of its players, like Ronaldinho or Deco, had. And as the Champions League is also “travelling” to other countries Barça should better think about winning at least the Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup)!!! (more…)
