Når våren kommer står vakre Barcelona for tur. Her opplever vi det Barcelona har å by på av kultur, severdigheter, strandliv og shopping. Barcelona er en fantastisk by med trange gater med koselige cafeer og restauranter, yrende liv i hovedgata La Rambla med salgsboder og gateshow, og stranda like ved. Om kvelden når en er ute og rusler kan en plutselig høre lyden av vakker sang og musikk og lyden tar oss til noen begavede talenter som synger utenfor katedralen.
Vanligvis tar vi sykkelen fatt og opplever Barcelona på to hjul, der vi virkelig får sett og opplevd mye av byen. En av de andre dagene besøker vi de kjente stedene Sagrada Familia og Park Guell, og vi spiser en av middagene ute på kjente Hard Rock cafè.
Det som for mange elever er det mest spesielle er når vi går med en tidligere bostedsløs på guidet tur der vi får se byens bakside. Dette er et sterkt møte med mennesker som har hatt store utfordringer, men som har kommet seg på bena.
Dette er en nyttig tur fylt med morsomme, gode og sterke opplevelser!
