FINALLY TRIP

    The week before The Holy Week I stayed in Andalucia. I went with three teachers and my partners. We went in AVE from Tarragona to Córdoba. We arrived in four hours more or less. We stayed in Córdoba for twodays, in Granada only some hours in a day, and the last in Sevilla for two days. Totally five days.

  

    The first day in Córdoba we went shopping. Later we went to te Mezquita's area, where there were a lot of souvenir's shops and good views. Atnightwe had dinner at the hotel (it was delicious) and later we went to a pub. It was really nice but we were so tired.The next day we went to visit the Mezquita and the Alcázar's garden. Both were very very big and beautiful!

     The third day day we went by bus to visit Granada. The trip wasreally tired, two or three hours aprox, I can't remember exactly. When we arrived we went in a touristic bus seeing all the city. We went to Albaizín, a Granada's town and we could see the Alhambra, a very big castle that has centenars of years. We had lunch at 3:00 p.m. in a city's restaurant. Later we catched the bus and we went to Sevilla. It was a lot of hours too.

    We were very tired, and we arrived before the dinner. We were really lost in the city! The next day was my favourite! We visited more or less all the city with the touristic bus. The best places for me were Alcázar and Plaza de España. The last day we woke up at 8:00 a.m. and we went shopping at the day. The bought a lot of things for ours parents and family, also we bought clothes because in Sevilla                                                        there are some shops that in Tarragona there isn't. 

   It was a very good experience for me because it was the last trip with our partners!

Easter holidays

Hey, guys! Nice to see you (write you, read you... However is it!)
Anyway, I'm back! And I'm here to tell my fantasticeaster holidays. They weren't so long, thought they were just a week (well... Better than nothing). They came after our school trip (literally, the next week) so it's like we've been free of school two whole weeks. Yey! The schooltrip was exciting, amazing and....well, new! We went to Andalucía (two nights in Córdoba, a beautifull city, one day in the perfect city called Granada, and the other two nights in the most famous and beautiful city: Sevilla, which is more astonishing in the night: a nocturnal majestic city). I saw so many wonderful things: new culture, new people, fresh new landscapes...)

AAANYWAY! My holy week was, also, magnificient. First days I stayed at home. I mean, home is... Love!! Home, sweet home... But, some days staying home... And I was bored of it. Home, sweet boring home. So, the three-four last days, we went to the town (a little bit far aways from here. Like an hour, more or less). We stayed there. I was all day out, oround the clock (What outsider am I), with some fellows and else. It was... wow, like every few time we met together. They are all from Barcelona, so... We, hardly never, met together. The only way to meet us, all the little squad we are, is in the town. We're always laughing, 2 of  1 hours (except when we are sleeping... Of course, we don't laugh while we sleep, right?...RIGHT?) and... Well, I think the world of them. That's it. We push crazyness to the next level! The worst is that we can see us all we would like, because, like I said before, they are from Barcelona, and, obviously, we can't meet us every day. BUT I didn't write this to upset yours and mine mind, just to tell you, and share with you all, my eastern week! So, in short. This holidays were longer than the others (Schooltrip, I should remember you) and became two weeks instead of one. I went to the town, and stayed with my one & only squad (awwww... Not in a romantic stupid way, you know). And... That's all, I guess!
Write-read-see you soon!

Easter holidays

    Before Easter week, me and many other people from class went on a trip to Andalusia. It started the 14th of March, and we went by AVE to Cordoba. That day we walked around the city by our own, without any guided tour. I saw many beautiful, narrow streets and took many pictures even though I don't like taking them. The next day we had a guide, and we visited the mosque/cathedral. It was very beautiful, and later we went to Cordoba's alcázar.

    On the 16th we went by bus to Granada. There, we walked around the muslim district, called Albaicín. I was kind of disappointed because we didn't visit the Alhambra.  After a 3 hour long bus trip, we arrived to Seville. That first night we had dinner in a restaurant and later we went to a bar in Triana. The next day we had a guided tour around the city, and we first stopped in Spain's square. It was really beautiful and I liked it a lot.

    Later, we walked through small streets until we reached the cathedral. There, we went up the Giralda, which is the cathedral's main tower. We had a beautiful sight of the city from up there. When we went down, we went to Seville's alcázar. Its gardens were very beautiful and big, with lots of fountains and different kinds of trees. It was very funny when we saw a fountain with lots of big, disgusting fishes which fighted for food. Later that day, we had dinner in the same place as the day before and then went to the same Triana bar. That night, we had to pack because the next day we would end our trip. The 18th, our last day, we had free time all morning, so we could do our last shopping and have lunch. At 16:00, the AVE left and we headed back to Tarragona. We arrived at 20:45 more or less, and then we didn't have school until the 29th. I really enjoyed the trip, and my favourite city was Cordoba.

MY CARNIVAL

This year for carnaval, I didn't go out, because I was very ill. But I am going to explain you what I did two years ago.

I went with my friends and my classmates Joan and Bernat to see the different parades that there were. We dressed up as Goku and we went to the Rambla. We stayed there still the parades finished, After we talked a lot with people we knew and stayed there having good time. We said that for us the carnival of 2015 was the best carnival that we have ever seen, all the costumes were very originals. All the people were very pretty and it was a very god experience.

My best carnival

      I am a person who doesn't like very much carnival, but this doesn't mean that I don't have a good memories of one carnival, I had 13 years old (2014), when I went out with Marina, her costume was a chenese woman and my costume was a sheep. I remember that she wore a red lips and a monkey in her head. Her dress was red with a black details. My costume was like a white jumpsuit and a hood with the ears.
     We met in the Pere Martell street and we went to the Rambla, and then we saw Gemma  and Minerva, we were talking when we saw a group of persons dressed like the supernenas and we took a photo with them, it was very funny.
     After it, we didn't know wher Gemma and Minerva went so we continued walking Marina and me.

Carnival... Ajam... Hum... What?

Carnival... Ajam... Hum... What?

 WOW! What colorful and funny carnival my classmates have had!

Jealous? Me? Hum... Of course not!

First af all, no, I didn't see the parades, and I don't regret it.

(What a freak you are...)

Please! I mean... I've seen them... One thousand billion one hundred thousand million and one thousand times! Okay, maybe NOT that much.

(I repeat, What a freak you are...)

Actually, I went to Barcelona, my dear and fantastic city!

(Wow! What a rebel you are! I think you begin be liked by me...)

Oh! Thanks conscience! But I didn't celebrate carnival, anyway.

(What the...hell!! You're disgusting!)

Shut up conscience, let me tell MY carnival!

(...)

Well... I went there with my parents, I've wanted to go there since.... Always! I have some friends there, who I hit it off with. In fact, I went there specially for one of them. He is such my best friend.

(Friends! Friendzone!) 

We went to his house, and chill there, all the day. We did not a big deal. And I had a really good time, more than in any parade I've gone to or that I can remember.

WHAT CAN I SAY? Not everybody likes to watch the same celebration, EVERY YEAR, feel the same pressure (and knucle under it) due to the huge multitude, listen to the same loud and awful noise (also called " carnival music") that ALWAYS sounds through the loudspeakers, and see the same music steps, danced for some bored and exhausted people who just want to stop, lay on the cold and wet road, and just have a nap. I think I prefer to take off my own eyes with a spoon, than see that panorama once again....

My conscience has warned you: I'm such a huge freak!

(I've warned you twice, guys...)

But, I must admit that It's really funny to see the strange and tricky costumes people dress up with, the smiles that hardly everybody has on, and... Well, all the good vibes you can get from the carnival night: HAPINESS WRITTEN IN ALL THE FACES!

(A little spark of normalcy from your part!

So, that's my carnival day, and my point of view about carnival fest. Sort of hoping that You've enjoyed it!

(Oh please, they didn't! You're as boring as a potato!)

Shut your mouth!!!

With love,

Shaila

(And me, her beautiful and funny conscience)

Hi! Two weeks ago it was Carnival. I was in Tarragona and in Tarragona the Carnival is incredible, the floats are so brightless and the costumes have a lot of decorations and details. I saw it from the Rambla it was full of people, allways in Carnival is full of people. There were a lot of floats that impressed me a lot, it was one of avatars, with blue painting and shoes with light, the float of Romeo an Juliet, other with a big unicorn and a girl riding it, etc. Also i saw a lot more costumes from the other people, like people dressed like animals or inspired by movies like Star Wars, Snow White, Superman... But I went early to home because it was so cold outside and then i was watching the TV and after I went to sleep, it was a busy day!
