Is there a better way of enjoying the last summer nights of Barcelona than doing this at the fabulous city festival? We´re sure there isn´t!! Next week´s starting the Fiesta de la Mercé, the patron saint of Barcelona. Traditionally this festival started 1902 as a religious one and over the years it has become a popular celebration all over Cataluña. During the Civil War and the Franco era celebrations of traditions were forbidden, it is for this reason that it has become the most...
På kvällen lyser det från Tibidabo, att beskåda hela vägen ner till las Ramlas, och dess kyrka ser ut som ett magiskt sagoslott hämtat från en gammal film. Längs en promenad upp Av. Tibidabo’s serpentinvägar är det svårt att inte låta fantasin konstruera bilder om hur livet fortlöpte här för 100 år sedan. Husen är stora och många liknar mer små slott med dess tinnar och torn… Med Barcelonas tusentals besökare och ständiga festligheter som drar upp stadens pulskan...
The city of Barcelona used to be confined until the 19th century to the outer walls of what we call the Old Town or the “Barrio Gótico”. Several towns and villages were situated at a short distance from the big town but were -proudly- independent. Today in the 21st century, all these places have been gobbled up by Barcelona and relegated to the status of neighbourhood. One such area in particular still resists the notion that it is no longer independent and this area is called...

A little bit of French on our Spanish course website. C'est la folie, we know. For the third time in history, Barcelona will welcome the crazy Tour de France circus. The caravan will arrive on Thursday 9th of July around 15:00 and the cyclists (heroes or performance enhancing drug addicts?) are expected round 17:00. The caravan will pass very close to our Spanish school in Barcelona so we may all quickly pop out to have a look. Barcelona always tries to do something special and this time,...
Ingredients: one set of parents, yours truly and 2 kids. Mix in sunny Saturday and a desire to see as much of Barcelona as possible. Shake well (don’t stir) and what you’re left with is a Barcelona sightseeing trip by bus! Queues at Plaza Catalunya for the bus There are two companies providing double decker tours through the city (both claim to be “official” which of course is, eh, nonsense) but the one that has been going for the longest time is “Barcelona Bus...
