Camino Barcelona Blog

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!

Hey everyone,

It is really a great pleasure for me to introduce this new entry!

As most of you probably know, Annie and Marie-Soleil (our two very friendly students from Montréal ) both work in Cavalia, the magic horse show that is currently taking place in the Forum. I first thought I would write about their show and then Marie-Soleil kindly suggested to give us her own presentation about the show:

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…)

Hello people!

Hello everybody!   

Every year it is the same old story: You want to make changes in your life, you have new resolutions in mind, you may even have a set list of your top 10 decisions! I don’t know, something like:

This year for sure, I will:

- Go more to the cinema,
- Travel more,
- Spend less money,
- Eat healthier,
- Read more,
- Exercise more,
- Study more,
- Wake up earlier every morning and take a better advantage of my day,
- Go to all the great concerts of the city even though it is raining and cold,

And finally, and that’s an ABSOLUTE resolution:

-  I will go to all the interesting exhibitions in the city.

Sooo… if going to an interesting exhibition is part of your set-list, here is a suggestion that (to my noble opinion!!!) should not be missed… (more…)

Hi everyone and Happy New Year from all of us!

I hope you have started the year the best way possible. Today I am going to tell you about something happening in Barcelona this Saturday that you can’t miss: The Three Kings Parade!

As other countries in the world have Father Christmas or Santa Claus bringing presents to children and adults, in Spain we have the Three Magic Kings, also known as the Three Wise Men. Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar will be arriving in Barcelona this Saturday to bring presents for everyone! (more…)
