Work Experience in Barcelona!
You know the saying: “What a small world?” It might be a bit of a cliché but it does occasionally prove itself to be true! I have been in Barcelona for approximately five weeks now and two days ago I met a guy, who, as it turns out, lives in the same city in Germany as I do!
He is doing a very similar work experience to the one I am doing here in Barcelona.
The only difference is he is going home in a few weeks whereas I will be able to see the city out-of-season, as I will stay here until the end of the year! I haven’t really started doing the ‘touristy’ things yet, but when my various friends and acquaintances do come here to visit (it is interesting to see how many people suddenly have time to visit if you offer them a free stay in a “cool” city), I might just make a start so that at least I have pictures of myself in and around the city’s many sights.
I will then proceed to send him (my new friend) as well as all my friends who haven’t visited me yet, the many, sunny, blue-skied pictures with messages like: “Jealous yet?”. Not that I don’t like my hometown, it is quite alright but honestly, it does lack a few of Barcelona’s features. The seaside, Olympic area and famous architecture just being the first that come to mind.
The first port of call on my list will be the Gaudi Parc ‘Parc Güell’ – which is actually just round the corner from my house! I might make the most of my time and sign up for some of the school’s activities while I’m at it.
I like the sound of the tapas tour!!

I totally share your opinion about the ´What a small world theory´!
I live in Barcelona for about 4 weeks now and I have already met at least 5 friends of mine with whom I studied last year in Spain. From all of them I had no idea they would be in Barcelona!
Some of them are studying spanish in Barcelona and others are here for a work placement.
So no worries of being bored in Barcelona!
Ciao
