Hola  Familias!

One more week left  behind  : (  sniff, sniff )

Last week was full of adventure,culture and soccer. The week started with a class of valenciano. Our guest went to the school and taught the kids some useful words in this beautiful language. We even learned a song in valenciano.

We had our last day for sports on Wednesday. It was the last day for soccer, volleyball and other relaxing activities.

On Thursday, we finished our Spanish Film Series at school. We screened the Oscar winner film "Mar Adentro" .

And..... and.... and ....... Friday came with a great excursion to Barcelona. It was a total success!!!We left Valencia around 7am.We visited the famous Sagrada Familia first. Some kids had the chance to see the interior and some others decided to go shopping around the place. It was so beautiful and nice! We had lunch in a famous park called Parc Guell. This was designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. We also walked along Paseo de Gracia and saw  Gaudi´s Casa Mila and Casa Batllo facades. At the end of the visit they had free time to explore Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, the market and the Port. We also had optional activities for students interested in visiting the famous soccer field Camp Nou, Montjuic, and Casa Mila inside. It was simply fantastic! We returned to Valencia on Saturday July 13^th around 9pm. They all told me they will convince you to go to Barcelona to enjoy this beautiful city as family.

On behalf of Valencia team,
