Hi everyone!
I thought it would be nice to write a “farewell letter” before I leave at the end of this week! 
In three weeks I will have to go back to Germany to finish my studies. I can´t say that I´m really happy about it - leaving Barcelona will be quite hard. I was working for Camino Barcelona for six months and during this time I made some great friends here and I certainly will miss them. (more…)
Hi everyone!
I guess this is my last blog post as next week I will be back home! I had a great time here and I certainly will miss the school, especially the staff of Camino Barcelona!
Nevertheless, next week we have another complete programme of activities for you - another chance to get to know the Spanish culture better and to practise your Spanish after school! Continue reading for more information…

How are you doing in Barcelona? I´m great, tomorrow we are plaining to go to the beach to get a nice tan (and finally lose this German look! 
).
As usual there are many interesting things to do in the school, get ready to learn more about the local life and culture! There will always be at least one teacher going to the activities with you, so it is also a great chance to improve your language skills aside from lessons!

Hi everyone!
How is everything going? Today I will tell you about my favourite monument in Barcelona: ‘La Sagrada Familia’ - The Sacred Family. When I was 12 years old I visited it for the first time and when I came back this year I went straight away to see what changes had been made. I know people say that there are a lot of building works, well, there are some but that doesn’t change the beauty of this church, which is really worth a visit!!
Let´s start with some pracitcal information. The Sagrada Familia has its own subway station, so you can´t miss it. With a student card the entrance shouldn’t be that expensive, at least it wasn´t when I went the last time. Once you are there you can lend audio guides or you can go on a guided tour, which I prefer, as you can ask as many questions as you want! (more…)

Finally summer has arrived in Barcelona and we´ve got the opportunity to go on some trips around the city, visiting beaches and villages. I´d like to tell you about Tossa de Mar, a small town on the Costa Brava.
Finalmente el verano ha llegado a Barcelona y ahora tenemos la oportunidad de hacer algún viajecito cerca de la ciudad, para visitar pueblos o playas. Hoy me gustaría hablaros de Tossa de Mar, un pequeño pueblo en la Costa Brava.

Es muy fácil llegar hasta ahí, tan sólo tienes que coger el autocar que sale de la estación de autobuses de Barcelona Nord. El viaje dura alrededor de una hora y hay un autobús al menos cada 2 horas.
Tossa de Mar is a beautiful little town where you can have a swim in the Mediterranean sea, stroll in the small streets or visit the monuments, which are the most important sightseeing events of the whole area.
Tossa de Mar es un pueblecito precioso donde puedes darte un baño en el mar Mediterráneo, pasear por sus pequeñas calles or visitar sus monumentos, que son de los más importantes de toda la zona. (more…)
