Saturday evening

Yesterday, we all went to the Nou Camp stadium to attend a football match, Barcelona against Almeria. It was an amazing experience which I am sure none of us will forget. We entered the enormous stadium to find a one of a kind scene, with 100,00 seats all surrounding the beautiful green pitch. We arrived just in time for warm up. We were a bit surprised to see so little people in the stands only half an hour before kick off but by the time the game started the stands were almost full. The enormity of the stadium alone and seeing the stadium itself was enough to make us all happy, but to see a live match as well was the cherry on top of a perfect day. The first half of the match saw Barcelona score 5 goals against the opposition who couldn't keep up with Barcelona's fast tactical and agile players. The second half was a bit less dramatic where no goals were scored, but it brought the match to an end and leaving Barcelona a well deserved victory. Afterwards we headed for the metro which was absolutely packed with fans of the game trying to get home. We eventually made it to the train and after a very uncomfortable ride due to the overcrowded train, we made it to the hostel. By then it was 12.15am and we were told to go to our beds where we very glad to get some sleep. The experience was phenomena; and I'm sure no one will forget the incredible night.

This morning at 9 0'clock, we took the bus for about 2 hours to Cava Freixenet winery. Before going into the winery, we watched a 10 minute video about the history and development of Freixenet. Then we took a tour aroud the winery and learnt how the wine was made. It was a really informative trip and everyone enjoyed it. At the end they gave us a lovely gift of a notebook.

This afternoon, after the Freixenet wine factory, we travelled in the bus for a few hours to reach the Salvador Dali art gallery. Dali is one of Spain's most famous surrealist painters. We walked around and looked at all the strange but good paintings by Dali. His work is very unique as he uses ideas from fantasy, dreams and nightmares as well as reality and there were some really interesting pieces.
