Day 5 in Barcelona

Today we started with a visit to La Sagrada Familia. This basilica was designed by AntoniGaudi who became involved here in 1883. We had a guided tour in English through this large church.  The church have eight towers going up to 170 meters, and there are ten more to be built. Actually the church will not be finished until 2028 they believe. There are many windows in the church, which make the light come in with different colours at different times of the day.

From La Sagrada Familia we went by the metro, and started our first kite workshop at Escola Massana. Our teacher CecĂ­le Dedieu gave a lesson in the history of kites and the main ways of constructing a kite. Today we started to make sketches of the decoration. We all hope that the final result will be amazing.

    It's so great to see that two cultures are getting close throw art.
    I hope that the Norwegian are enjoying their project here in Barcelona.

  2. We think this project is very interesting and we hope Massana' students and the ones from Norway enjoy it very much and they not only have the oportunity to improve their English, also to learn some Catalan and Norwegian language.
    But we are so jealous because we would like to take part of this project and, of course, to travel to Norway.
