July 17th - Barcelona and Futbol Go Hand in Hand!

With the recent success of the Barcelona Futbol team it was very exciting for the students to be able to go to their actual stadium and museum today for class! They were able to look out over the perfectly manicured field and check out all the enormous trophies that the team has won as well as read about the history of the team. After seeing the stadium and museum the students had some free time to enjoy Barcelona, get some laundry done and relax. They then took a break for seafood and paella and enjoyed some good old yummy pizza! Enjoy the photos from today!

July 16 - A day full of classes!

Today was a pretty normal day for the students. They started off with morning Spanish classes. One class went to a coffee shop to practice ordering and to sit and carry on normal conversation in that setting! After a break for lunch the students participated in their elective classes. The photography class went to Placa Espanya to learn how to compose an interesting photo. This evening was cooking class and on the menu was a Spinach and Pine Nut Salad that was to die for and monk fish! It was delicious!

Relaxation and some down time was very much needed and the students got it! Today the students were able to shop, soak up the sun at the beach, catch up on sleep and enjoy each others company. In the evening we traveled over to the Gottic area of Barcelona and students received a stipend to go out and find a restaurant and enjoy dinner. Some students ventured into some really amazing restaurants and said they ordered completely in spanish and ate the best paella of their lives!

July 14th - Salvador Dali Museum, La Rosa and Mont Juic Music Festival!

Today was an exciting day for the Barcelona students! We traveled to Figueres to tour and enjoy the museum of Spanish artist Salvador Dali. The students participated in a guided tour that showed them everything from his famous tear drop jewelry to his interesting ceiling mural. They were able to get inside details behind his paintings and secrets that the normal eye may not have noticed.

We then headed over to the beach town La Rosa to enjoy the sun, the views and lunch. This evening we ate a fantastic dinner at a restaurant that is on the roof of the old Bull Fighting Stadium in Paca Espanya. The students enjoyed typical Spanish food, amazing views and each other. After dinner we attended the music festival and Mont Juic. The students were able to see a variety of different spanish bands and music genres while sitting in the Olympic stadium and Placa Espanya!

Here are some photos from the day!
