Zayra Reporting from Barcelona, Spain



Hello from Barcelona, everyone!




DELTA Full-time course 2010 at IH Barcelona
July 5—August 27, 2010

Boiling in Barcelona.

It's been sticky, sticky here in BCN. Two showers a day don't seem enough!
I'm staying at Pueblo Sec, a very international "barrio", with ethnic bars and restaurants. There are many Latinos, Bangladeshi, Turks, etc...



My apt- building is from 1910 and has some interesting designs which have been preserved; luckily the apt. I'm in has been renovated.

I'm 1-minute away from Parc Montjuic,



which is home to beautiful gardens, a castle, some of the best museums in the world (Miró and Catalán Art), the Olympic stadium and other facilities used in 1992,



the best being this pool where you swim with the skies.




See Kylie Minogue's video Slow, which was filmed here.

It also has amazing water fountain shows at night next to Plaza Espanha. Well worth the visit and packed with tourists!





Unfortunately, the Catalans love their dogs, but don't obey this sign very often so walking around the neighborhood can become an obstacle course. Yuck!



Plans for today: take the montjuic funicular up to the castle to see the view of the city.








Then.....study, study, study!

That's all for today, folks.
