School trip to Spain!

 

My trip to Barcelona was very interesting and great. We saw a lot of beautiful  gothic artichectural  monuments such as the Sagrada Familia which      was built by the architect Antonio Gaudi and will be finished in 2026.The cathedral is very high and the towers are graceful, it's very nice, I liked it very much.  Gaudi also built the Casas Batlo and Mila , we only saw the facades and their style is between the Gothic and the Baroque with a lot of colors for the casa Batlo.  I liked this house because it looks like  a vegetal wall. I also liked this trip very much because the weather was beautiful and we played football on the beach with the teachers, the weather was very hot and I had sunburns the next day. Next we cooked  a paella and it was very interesting to cook and eat, the dinner was awesome ! Finally I liked this experience very much.

Barcelona is a lovely city, with colorful and eccentric architecture, especially Anthonio Gaudi's. 

We saw the Sagrada familia, probably the highest monument that he designed. This buiding might be finished by 2026 ! We cooked a typical paella withe only rice, peppers, mussels and tomatoes. The cook explained to us, grumpily, that « a weird english man decided to add meat and fish to the paella ». The meal was delicious. Furthermore, we met castellers. In Barcelona, there is the tradition of creating human pyramids. The tallest pyramid ever created was built with nine rows of people ! I enjoyed this trip because it was warm and I learnt a lot of interesting things.

I loved my trip to  Barcelona because I saw a lot of great things.

I saw the Boqueria, the Santa Elena Church, Gaudi's houses, the Amphitheatre in Tarragone and the Dali museum .

The church is amazing, it's very high and big. The Boqueria is a place where people chat and do some shopping, it was  great because I met people.The day I preferred was when we went to the beach, they are beautiful, the weather was so great, we played soccer and volley, it was twenty five degrees!

I was so sad to come back to France.

I loved this trip because everything we did was interesting. Especially the beach because it was very beautiful. we thought we were in summer! The atmosphere was relaxed and all the teachers were nice. The Dali museum is not really that nice because its art was quite abstract ... but in our family they  love Dali and  they went to the same museum as us. This trip was very good and I would love to go back there.​​​​​ !!!

My trip to Barcelona was very interesting and great. We  saw a lot of gothic architecture such as the Sagrada  Familia ,

the “casa battle” and “casa mila” which were built  by Antonio Gaudi. The cathedral was very impressive: there are strong vertical lines and high windows, the arches are pointed, there are a lot of windows. We only saw the facades but it was very beautiful .Gaudi drew his inspiration from nature.

 We went to the beach in Tarragona ,we had fun on the beach and we played football and volleyball. We had a picnic on the beach, in  the sun. The weather was very good   We visited the city , then  we went to a restaurant to cook paella. It was very interesting to do.

 On the last day  we did some  shopping in Figueras, I bought souvenirs for my  family. We ate at Mac Donalds !!!We had a lot of free time during the trip.

 All this was  beautiful, I will remember it for a long time.

 I  liked my trip to  Catalonia a lot  because I  visited a lot of monuments with my friends and we could  and  buy things in the shopping centers and in the typical shops of Catalonia.During my trip I was very happy because we did a lot of things , we  met people and some became friends with us. Now, I’m very happy  about this trip , it was very sunny, I went to the beach and I was allowed  to put my feet into the sea. The other good point about this trip was   my host family, I was lucky and was   in a nice family who spoke with us and with us we could discover the Catalan culture and the typical Catalan food.

It was a great school trip because fortunately it was a beautiful week. We were able to do a lot of activities and we had a lot of  free time in all the city. That allowed us to discover Barcelona, Tarragona and Reus.But for me, the best moment was the beach because we were able to practise football, volley with teachers and all my friends ! Of course a big part of the trip we had to write notes about what we saw. So we had to listen to the guide. We visited the ruins of Tarragona, the Gothic area in Barcelona, the Gaudi and Dali museums. We also cooked a delicious paella.

 

 

 

All these are beautiful memories for me : I will remember this for a long time...

I really liked my trip to Spain because people were nice and my family was welcoming. I enjoyed sightseeing, it was interesting and enriching. I appreciated eating and tasting the Spanish  food. The weather was really nice. So it was very pleasant to go to the beach and have walks. My favourite first moment was when we made the paella together and ate it. My other favourite moment was when we went to the beach , we played some games. We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. Even if my trip was short, it was very enriching and great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a lot of  fun,  we saw magnificent old monuments, it was very warm and we walked a lot, my host family was very friendly and they made very good dinners, the teachers were very kind to us. My favourite day was Tuesday, because we saw some beautiful monuments ( colosseums, walls …) and we went to the beach and it was really great, we ate on the sand and we played football on the sand.

The day I liked the least was on Monday, because we were very tired with the bus trip and it was very hot and I didn’t drink much water and it was the day we walked most so I was really very tired after that day!

It was a very nice trip to Spain because we had a lot of sun and “clima caluroso”(warm weather). There was a nice atmosphere during the trip (because we went to the beach) and everybody was happy. The architectural style was very different from that in France (We saw a lot of baroque style). The only problem was my family because we didn’t have  very yummy food (but we still  ate it), and despite this problem, they were very nice!

 We arrived on Monday morning I was very tired .We visited the most famous market in Europe, the Boqueria

and visited Las Ramblas In the afternoon we walked around the gothic neighbouhood, we saw the special architecture (casa Gaudi :Battlo, Mila) the Sagrada familia, it was impresive, there were a lot of shops we don't often see (luxury brands).We also went to the beach, we had fun there was a good weather, we played football, it was cool. We visited old Tarragone but it was too hot and  I was tired but we cooked a real paella, it was  nice to prepare a local dish.The last day in Figueras we did shopping and bought things for our family.  Of course we ate at Mc Donald’s, we could compare with the French Mc Donald and found it was less expensive.We had a lot of free time and good weather during the trip, it was nice . There were no problems to come back to France, but it was long (15 hours).

Barcelona is an incredible city with a colorful and very interesting architecture, along the Mediterranean coast. You can see Gaudi's artwork (La Pedrera, La Sagrada Familia...), there is  delicious food and you can eat a lot of sea food from the Mediterranean, sold on the Boqueria market. You can also walk along the streets -and the “La Rambla”- to enjoy the sun in summer -or in spring, and do some shopping. 

Tarragon is also a beautiful city with an amazing view of the sea, with  a wall almost all around the city. We also went to the Gaudi  Museum, and to the Dali  Museum on the last day. 

 

We also were in host families in Tarragon, I was with two friends in an old woman's flat. She was really nice and cooked us some delicious sandwiches and good dinners.

I particularly  enjoyed our free time and our activities, especially the Gaudi  Museum because of his strange minds and original artworks.

It was very interesting too to visit the Gaudi museum, the Dali museum and  Tarragona ; Barcelona and Reus were very great and brilliant but the best moment was when we cooked some paella, it was very impressive.

We arrived in Barcelona at 8,30 am on Monday. Barcelona is one of the best places in the world. We saw a lot of architectural styles like Gaudi's  or Gothic... 

 On the second day in Spain, we visited « Tarragona Romana ». There are lot of roman monuments like theatres, amphitheaters and statues. In the evening, we cooked a wonderful paëlla. On the third day, we went to Reus to visit the Gaudi center, I learnt a lot of things about Gaudi and his monuments. In the afternoon, we visited Reus and we made « Castellers » (They’re human pyramids).
