Camino Barcelona Blog

Hi everyone!

How are you all spending these autumn days in Barcelona? It’s still warm although we are in the middle of November… the winter does not want to come

I have some great news for all football fanatics … Tonight you have the chance to experience BARÇA and Camp Nou for only 10 euros and if you invite a friend the ticket costs only 5 euros!!! The match is between Barcelona and Benidorm for “La Copa del Rey” (the Spanish Cup) at 21:00. You can buy tickets here. (more…)

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a great time during “La Mercé”, I enjoyed so much the street concerts!

Today I would like to share with you my impressions on the last Woody Allen’s movie; “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”.

An obvious reason to tell you about this movie is that… it was recorded in Barcelona! and of course, it’s a must see!!! You will see all the places that you have actually visited here in Barcelona (or you should have ;-)  ).

The film is a love comedy about two American girls, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), who decide to spend their summer in Barcelona. The girls are two very different characters in search of adventure in Spain. Vicky is a very sensible and romantic girl, who loves the sound of Spanish guitar and believes in love forever and marriage. Cristina is the total opposite of her friend, very spontaneous, unsecure about what she wants to do in life… but she does for sure know what she does not want ! (more…)

Hello guys!! As you know in Barcelona there is always something going on. Today I want to tell you about one of the most popular festivals in Europe, the SONAR festival.

Sonar is an electronic music festival and this year it will be on the 19th, 20th and 21st of June. It takes place in three different stages in the city centre: ‘Centro de Cultura Contemporanea’ (CCCB), ‘Centro Macba’, and ‘Gran via 2′. Why in so many different places?? Because the festival is during the day and the night and it is not only music. It’s much more than that! To see location click here. (more…)

Hi everyone! Here I am again and this time with my own Blog profile

Hope you all are doing great and enjoying these sunny days in Barcelona. Talking about nice weather, here I have a really cool alternative to pass the last days of May and spring: Primavera Sound Festival

The festival runs from the 29th to the 31st of May and as I’ve heard it is now known as the “first party of the summer”. It’s like welcoming summer… Well, we all know the reputation of Spanish people… ‘fiesta, fiesta toda la noche’ . I really believe that it has nothing to do with the seasons of the year. It seems more to me as a kind of “excuse” to party. (more…)

Hola people! Barcelona calling

How are you all doing?

Probably many of you have heard that next week, between 20th and 24th of May the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Belgrade, Serbia.

I’m a big fan of this song competition, not so much of the songs, but much of the idea of having a European Festival. It’s funny to see how countries that had conflicts in the past end up voting for each other

The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the longest running television shows in the world. It first started on the 24th of May 1956 and was based upon the Italian Festival di San (more…)

Hi everybody!

Have you already planned what you will be doing the next few weekends? Me I am preparing myself for the Festival Season: Barcelona this year is so full of music festivals you can’t imagine!

Let me tell you a bit of what is coming in the next couple of months so that you can start buying your tickets:

First we have Primavera Sound. This is a very good festival for people who like International alternative pop and rock music. (more…)

Hi everybody!

Had a nice weekend?!

Last night it was a very important footbal match in Barcelona. Barcelona vs. Celtic!! I am sure some of you are the lucky owners of a ticket! It was such an exciting game. When they played in Glasgow, FC Barcelona won!! Of course and so they did yesterday! The matchs were really stretching, but in the end Barcelona beated Celtic.

The English and Scottish footbal is known for its Hooligans. So there were thousands of Celtic Glasgow supporters in the centre of Barcelona! There was even an ‘amusement’ area just for them!

This Sunday FC Barcelona plays here in Barcelona against Villareal!
