Hi Everybody,
My name is Nikola. I am from Prague, Czech Republic. I am currently studying in my last year at University specialising in International Relations.
Why I have chosen to take a work placement in Camino Barcelona?
At Camino Barcelona we are a large international team so you are always learning new things and getting to know new cultures and languages. In addition to this, the location of our languages school is perfect, right in the centre of Barcelona and the school has a really student friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
I chose Camino Barcelona for my internship in order to gain a new work experience opportunity abroad and also the opportunity to improve my languages skills. For me this work placement is such a valuable experience and a great thing to do while you are young. Such an experience broadens your horizons and makes you feel more independent. I would recommend it to everybody as a great preparation for your future professional life and most importantly for your life in general.
Right now it’s the 16st of December, outside it’s a pleasant 15 C with the occasional sunny outbursts and the Christmas spirit is already building. I am from Prague and am used to cold weather and spending Christmas with chilly snowy days when the temperature is usually below 0 C: So it’s a quite pleasant change for me to be in Barcelona and to be enjoying these sunny moments during the winter.
This is my first Christmas in Spain and I hope it will be a good one! Christmas in Barcelona offers a large variety of special typical Catalan feasts which include a variety of Catalan delicacies and traditions .The Christmas market which takes place at the famous park in front of the Sagrada Familia will impress you as much as it impressed me I hope. On the plaza Sagrada Familia over 118 stalls present a wide arrange of Christmas accessories, for example gifts, nativity scene figures, Christmas lights, trees etc… There are many stalls with tasty Christmas food and Catalan specialities too. You can feel a real Christmas spirit here, and a magic which is often forgotten in adult life.
Why Barcelona?
I chose this city for its diversity that you will not find anywhere else in Spain.
It is a very multicultural city which offers many different possibilities of how to have a nice time in Barcelona. The city has loads to see and to discover. From all the monuments and museums to its bustling nightlife especially in the streets of famous Raval where the people don’t sleep, there are many bars and tapas restaurants where you can try good wine along with a Spanish typical cuisine. I have also seen some great live music and concerts which usually take place in the heart of ‘el Raval’. Besides fantastic museums and architecture, Barcelona is also full of galleries, concerts and theatres, there is always something going on!
The City centre of Barcelona is also famous for its Gaudí Architecture which follows you while you are walking and shopping around Passeo de Gracia. You will be fascinated by the beautiful streets and the beautiful balconies and terraces.
At the weekend, the city centre invites you to discover all it’s mysterious and small streets lined with lovely coffee shops and other shops of all kinds. If you are a fan of tapas then you might want to enjoy some of the tapas in the bars in el Born. It’s definitely worth visiting and there are great places to go and meet the locals and enjoy a Spanish atmosphere.
In conclusion Barcelona has everything you could hope for and the weather is very pleasant, even in winter months, there are so many sunny days which is something that keeps you happy and smiley!
Nikola
