Summer

Now we are in the summer.... let's see what can we do... If you want just write some lines...

I live on the edge on Gavà and Viladecans both have beaches...

About Viladecans beaches

it's 2,7 km long and with and extension of 290.000 m2, from the stream mouth of Remolar to the Murtra lake. A pine forest, pine shed trees , planted to fix the dunes, separetes the beach from the rest of the space.

It's a natural beach next very close to ecological ecosystems, and it keeps the dune area in its natural state it is almost a virginal place, with no houses or buildings due to the airport neighbourhood.

While about Gavà:

A fine sandy beach with excellent services and communications

Gavà beach, some 3,551 m long and covering an area of 200,704 m2, not only provides visitors with perfect sand and sea, but also all the facilities and services necessary for the ideal holiday.

And here there all kind of place to stay, eat, drink....

See you soon

Hi everybody... in Barcelona we have finished the school year. Yesterday was the last class and next Thursday we will have a party at school.
We can posted several recipes in our magazine and posted several new post in our blog. We are looking forward you posts.
I would like to ask you two things:
1. why are there so many Polish surnames ending with ki?
2. What's the meaning of that l (letter L) with a strip on it? some kind of stress? a new letter? a different kind of l?

My students may keep in touch using the blogs next weeks.

Thank you and see you soon... We enjoy chatting with you.

A trip to Mallorca

Hello.. One of Sant Boi students has added an inetresting photo article in the e-zine. It's about Majorca, an island near Barcelona. It's another interesting way to show articles. I invite you all to visit the e-zine.
And there's a new forum open to all your comments.

I suggest you to check the facts and write any comments about your own place and things that you think they are wrong. You can also ask more questions to your partners.

Palau de la Música Catalana

A hundred years ago was the first choral concert in this theatre. It's name means Catalonia's music palace. It was built with a public subscription and the architecture was a famous Modernist one. There are many ornaments with references to many composers and music goodness. There's a lovely stain glass work. At the beginning there were only choral concerts, made by volunteers but now choral singers are professional and many other singers use the place to give concerts.

SAGRADA FAMLIA

These are some photos from Sagrada Familia

It's a Modernist building designed by Antoni Gaudi

e-guide

Hi, in Sant Boi, Barcelona, we are preparing some useful information for those who would like to visit the town and the area.
We are going to work on different items. To start with we are going to talk about public transport, and private transport in case one would like to hire a car.

Our nearest airport is at El Prat de Llobregat which is only few kilometres from Barcelona centre (19 km) and Sant Boi, you could visit the website AIRPORT. There are many companies flying, some of them are low cost, if you would like to have a look click on the link LOWCOST. But there are other ways to arrive like bus, car....... I hope we could exchange ideas...

New Year's Eve

As we could check from the pool half of our students stay home with the family or friends on December 31st and half went out. I hope everybody enjoyed that night.

Caganer. A new character.

In Catalonia, as well as in other southern Europe countries the traditional Christmas decoration is a Nativity Scene but trying to show the entire town of Bethlehem rather than just the typical Nativity cave, showing not only Maria, Joseph and Christ but also shepards, the three wise men, farmers, black smith…The Catalans have added an extra character known as the Caganer is often tucked away in some corner of the model, typically nowhere near the manger scene, where he is not easily noticed, there’s a clear reason, Caganer can be translated as Pooper, and that is exactly what this little statue is doing — defecating. The Caganer represents the equality of all people: regardless of status, race, gender everyone defecates. Caganers are easy to find before Christmas in markets. Traditionaly it was wearing a traditional shepard dress with tha Barretina hat but nowadays there Caganers that represent many famous people, from politicians, fotball players, singer, actors or kings and Popes. Children always try to find where the cagaber is in every “Presepio” they found. Here you can see a traditional one, on representing a painter Salvador Dalí and one from the Pope.

New year's eve poll

Hello,
