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!
Do you want to know what is on this week in Barcelona?
From tomorrow and until Friday 18th January, Barcelona opens its doors to the fashion industry with a big event called “Bread and Butter: King Size”, which takes place in the Feria de Barcelona (metro stop “Plaza de España”, L3, green line).
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…)
Hello guys!
I’m in an especially good mood today as I have just booked my flights for a holiday to Germany. And to top it off, the total journey costs me 42.50 euros, all taxes included! That’s really cheap!
I am travelling with Easyjet which used to be one of hundreds of these cheap airlines in Europe. They are offering hundreds of new routes to places (some exotic!) all over the world. Did you know that there are a lot of websites like this one, which compare flight prices for you? This is very helpful to keep track of these flights. (more…)
If you like going to the circus, this information is for you:
The Raluy Circus will be in the old port from the 16th of December to the 6th of January 2008 and his show is called this year: “La Belle Epoque”.
It might no be the biggest, the most innovative or the best circus that comes to Barcelona but still… its small format will give you an idea of what the circus might have looked like years ago.
His show this year is a tribute to the romantic “Belle Epoque”, a time when the TV, DVD, video games had not yet been invented and the Opera, the ballet and the circus were therefore a very popular entertainment.
Here is the link to the website to check their availabilities and buy your ticket.

Hi all,
There’s something happening this week that makes Spanish people go crazy… ‘El Gordo de Navidad’ (literally ‘Christmas Fat Guy’)! On 22nd December, this Saturday, there will be millions of Spaniards watching TV (1st channel) like hypnotised from 8 am because the Christmas Lottery Draw is on! This draw is called ‘El Gordo’ because it is the most money played in Spain in the whole year.
Spanish people play the ‘Gordo’ as an old Christmas tradition more than a game. Everybody gets at least one lottery ticket as the one in the picture (’decimo’) to share with their friends, family or work colleagues. They cost 20 euros each, and these can be divided into ‘participaciones’ (tickets with the same number, playing a certain amount of money on that number). For example, if you buy a ‘decimo’, you can share 20 ‘participaciones’ of 1 euro with your friends, family…etc (more…)
¡Hola!
¡Vuelvo a hablaros de música! Hace un tiempo os hablé de los festivales de música en Barcelona este verano. Bien, ¡pues la semana que viene llega ya el PRIMAVERA SOUND! Desde el 1 de Junio podréis ver en Barcelona muchos grupos internacionales en el Fórum durante todo el fin de semana.
Y dentro de poco, el festival dance más importante de toda Barcelona, ¡el SÓNAR! Y en un mesecito, pues ¡el SUMMERCASE! ¡No puedo esperar, no puedo esperar!
Pero claro, el centro del mundo no es Barcelona, (aunque los que vivamos aquí lo pensemos…), así que hay muchos más festivales en toda España que merecen la pena visitar. Si estáis en Barcelona durante los meses de verano, y queréis salir algún fin de semana a otro sitio, l¡a mejor excusa es un festival como los que os voy a explicar!
- MONEGROS DESERT FESTIVAL - Es el 7 de Julio, y aunque es tan sólo durante un día, la verdad es que es bastante intenso. Es principalmente un festival de música dance y hip hop, organizado por una de las discotecas más impresionantes de España, la Florida 135 (¡visita obligada!). El festival tiene lugar en el desierto de los Monegros, en Huesca, provincia de Aragón. (A 2 horas en coche de Barcelona). Podréis ver a grupos como Asian Dub Foundation, Underworld o Snoop Dogg.
This last week we had the choice to see the best tennis players playing in Barcelona. As every year the ‘Conde de Godó’ tournament sees many top 10 players, as Nikolay Davydenko, David Nalbandian and, of course, Rafael Nadal, the winner!
Esta semana pasada tuvimos la oportunidad de ver a los mejores jugadores de tenis in Barcelona. Como cada año, el trofeo “Conde de Godó” trae a muchos jugadores del “top 10″, como Nikolay Davydenko, David Nalbandian o, por supuesto, Rafael Nadal, ¡el campeón!
Rafa Nadal is the number 2 on the ATP list but definitely the number 1 when it comes to clay courts, as it is his 12th consecutive clay court tournament and his 72 consecutive win on clay, a historical record!
Rafa Nadal es el número 2 de la ATP pero sin lugar a dudas el número 1 en tierra batida, ya que es su título número 12 que consigue de forma consecutiva y su victoria número 72, también de forma consecutiva en tierra batida, ¡un record histórico!
This ‘Conde de Godó’ tournament takes place at the ‘Real Club de Tenis Barcelona 1899′, the oldest Tennis club in Barcelona, with more than 100 years of history!
El trofeo Conde de Godó se celebra en el Real Club de tenis de Barcelona 1899, el club de tenis más antiguo de Barcelona, con más de 100 años de historia. (more…)
