For the second half of my winter break, I'm in Barcelona learning Spanish at the Don Quijote language school. It's been interesting so far; the students in my classes come from different countries so along with Spanish, I've also been learning about German and Brazilian culture. I'm living in a student residence on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes in centre city and my classes at the language school are from 8h - 15h on weekdays. Scroll down to see some photos of my week...

Yesterday evening I went to see the Cabalgata del Reyes with some classmates. It's a parade on the eve of the 'Dia de los Reyes' (the Day of the Kings) which is today. The parade is mostly for families and children, but it was interesting to see what type of innovative floats the city of Barcelona came up with to entertain kids.

| The city supplied parade-goers with ladders for children |

| After the parade, we stopped at a bar called 'Obama' on Gran Via for a late dinner |
