THE VISITS

The 5th we visited Parc Güell , participants

spent almost two hours walking along the

beautiful park and then we went to ‘Paseo

de Gracia’ with the coach. We stopped at ‘La

Pedrera’ and some Spanish students were

the guides of the other participants for the

other visits, Casa Milá, Paseo de Gracia and

Rambla Cataluña then we met at school for

the other activities . The 6th and 7th The

Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, The Cathedral

and ‘Sagrada Familia ‘ were visited.

MORE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE

PLACES VISITED:

Parc Guëll:

A Gaudi Wonderland Parc Guëll is a wild and

colorful wonderland of a park located on a

hill in the Gràcia district of Barcelona.

Antoni Gaudi designed this popular

attraction from 1900 through 1914, initially

as a wealthy housing development,

commissioned by his benefactor Count

Eusebi Guëll. With only two homes built, the

project was purchased by the city and

developed into a public park in 1923. What

Gaudi left behind is a truly amazing and

hallucinatory testament to his use of art

nouveau and organic design.

Spectacular Main Staircase - The main

entrance to Parc Guëll at Carrer d'Olot

features a grand, multicolored winding

staircase leading the visitor to the top of this

hillside park. Flanked by a massive stone

wall adorned with colorful medallions and

two fairy tale inspired park buildings, the

entrance entices the visitor into a make

believe realm created by Gaudi. A famous

Gaudi sculpture of a dragon, formed with

broken ceramic tiles rests serenely at the

center of the massive staircase.

The staircase first leads to a hypostyle,

monumental chamber surrounded by 96

Doric inspired columns, originally designed

to serve as a public marketplace for the

planned community. Artist, Josep Maria Jujol

lined the columns and walls with colorful

mosaics and medallions.

Circular Plaza and Serpentine Bench :

The famous circular, serpentine inspired

bench surrounding the main park plaza, sits

on top of the Doric columned chamber. The

massive serpentine shaped bench is adorned

with colorful ceramic tiles in the trencadis

style, that Josep Maria Jujol used throughout

the park design. Visitors can relax on the

curved benches to experience a magnificent

panoramic view of the city below and other

Gaudi masterpieces such as, the Sagrada

Familia.

Gaudi’s House :

Antoni Gaudi and his father lived for a time,

in one of the park houses known as, la Torre

Rosa designed by architect Francesc

Berenguer in 1906. Visitors can tour Gaudi’s

former home, for a fee to view art nouveau

furniture designed by Gaudi and numerous

artifacts from his life there. A lovely garden

surrounds the house available for visitors to

take a stroll, just as Gaudi may have at the

turn of the twentieth century.

CASA MILÀ, COMMONLY KNOWN AS LA

PEDRERA

Casa Milà, commonly known as La Pedrera is

the largest civil building designed by Antoni

Gaudi. The apartment block was constructed

between 1906 and 1910. It was Gaudi's last

work before devoting himself to the

construction of the Sagrada Familia.

Pedro Milà i Camps, a rich businessman was

impressed by the Casa Battló, an

expressionist building designed by Gaudi. He

commissioned Gaudi to construct an

apartment building on a corner site at the

Passeig de Gracia, in the Eixample district

Unconventional:

The result is a less colorful but nevertheless

an even more unconventional building than

the Casa Batlló. It breaks with traditional

architecture by using not a single straight

line. The building does not use load-bearing

walls, but rest on pillars and arches.

Together with the use of steel this allowed

the architect to create completely irregular

floor plans. Even the height of the pillars and

ceilings differ from one to another. In order

to allow light in all the rooms, the

apartments are arranged around two central

courtyards, one circular and the other oval

shaped

La Pedrera:

On the outside, the undulating balconies

look like a series of waves. The iron-wrought

balconies were designed by Josep Maria

Jujol, who improvised on the spot. Some

people see the facade as a cliff-like rock with

caves. During construction, people dubbed it

a quarry, or 'Pedrera'. To date, people still

call the building 'La Pedrera' rather than

'Casa Milà'.

Interior:

The top floor, attic and the extraordinary

roof are open to visitors. The apartment on

the top floor gives an idea of how the

interior must have looked at the beginning

of the 20th century. Just like on the outside,

the interior has virtually no straight lines.

The attractive rooms have a lot of character,

with a mixture of expressionist and Art

Nouveau styles. The attic houses an

exposition of Gaudi's works, with photos

and scale models of his buildings.

Roof Terrace:

The roof is probably the most extraordinary

of the building. It features a number of

surrealistic colorful chimneys. Many of them

look like warriors in a science fiction movie,

others look more frivolous. The roof also

features a bench similar to the one in Park

Guell. From the top of Casa Milà, you have a

nice view over the Eixample district.

Casa Batllo:

The sword of St Georges plunged in his back,

the “Dragon”, la Casa Batllo lays down on

Paseig de Gracia 43 in Eixample district,

heart of Barcelona. Once again, we can

admire the geniality of the Catalan architect,

this house of bone, as some likes to call it, is

also a prestigious piece of the early 20th

century modernism of Barcelona. The

building owned by Josep Batllo I Casanovas,

has been totally remodeled by Antoni Gaudi

between 1904 and 1906. Gaudi expressed its

skills in an organic architecture

characterized by its visceral, skeletal

structure avoiding straight lines like he did

with La Pedrera.

Barri Gotic – Captivating medieval and

Romanesque architecture:

The Barrio Gotic, or Gothic Quarter of

Barcelona, is the city's historic centre,

located within easy reach of Las Ramblas

and stretching as far as the Mediterranean

seafront. Many of its buildings date back to

medieval times, and there are even some

well-preserved Roman walls. The Barri Gotic

is a captivating maze of winding lanes,

opening out onto historic market squares

such as the attractive Placa Sant Jaume,

featuring the old city hall and presidential

palace. On short breaks in Barcelona, you

can explore the area easily on foot and much

of it closed to motorised transport.

Barri Gotic – Explore winding lanes and

market squares:

It is quite easy to lose your bearings along

its twisting cobbled lanes, but this part of its

appeal as there is an abundance of

interesting architecture just waiting to be

discovered during long weekends in

The quarter is a major tourist attraction, and

its most compelling feature is the historic

cathedral which dates back to the 13th

century. It is one of the finest examples of

gothic design in Spain and its central tower

is a fine place to take in breezy views over

the city and coastline

Barri Gotic – A vibrant cafe culture:

The quarter is filled with some lovely

timeless churches such as the Basilica of La

Mercè and the Santa Maria del Pi, boasting a

colourful rose window reputed to be the

largest in the world. On cheap city breaks in

Barcelona, you will discover a hive of

activity in its squares and back streets,

where a myriad of tiny artisan's shops and

market traders rub shoulders with delightful

pavement cafes. Head to the Portal de

L´Angel if trendy designer fashions are your

thing. The Barri Gotic is also one of

Barcelona’s most desirable districts to live in

and has more than its fair share of animated

late night bars and clubs

THE HOTEL:

All guests stayed at Hotel Jet in Caldes D’Estrac. A Hotel managed by the Calvet family. It is a

Hotel, in the centre of Caldetes, a town with hot springs, quiet and close to the sea.

We were the only guest so it as our Waves Hotel.

The Turkish team offered a special dinner the 6th so some of the teachers could taste some of

their typical meals and food

The last night we had a farewell dinner at the hotel and some Spanish students decided to

spend the night with all the participants.

THE COMPANY:

ALELLA VINÍCOLA is the first winery that elaborated sparkling wines in D.O. Alella: it is a

Modernist Factory in Alella, 20 km from Barcelona. For nearly two hours we were told the

history of the company and we were shown how the winery worked including all the

processes for making red and white wines. Many of the people who work in the company come

from other countries. Alella Vinicola has given them the opportunity to find a place to live and

work.

We visited:

- The Marfil Museum.

- The Presses Zone.

- The Lab.

- The Winemaking zone.

- The Bottling.

BARCELONA CITY HALL

We visited the building which dates from 1831 and its façade is in a Classicist style. The Mayor's office stands out, with paintings by Xavier Nogués, as does the Saló de Cróniques, the Escalera de Honor, with images of important historical figures such as Ausías March and Jacinto Verdaguer, and the Saló del Trentenari. Mr Ramón Sanahuja Director of The Immigration Department in Barcelona gave a speech on the situation of those immigrants who come to Barcelona and the help that is offered to them. All what he explained was really relevant for our project because he focused not only on immigration but on the idea of learning to live together. THE PRESENTATION OF OUR SCHOOL PROJECTS

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

The 5th, the film: Students had to opportunity to watch L’Auberge Espagnole

(literally: "the Spanish inn) is a 2002 French film directed and written by Cédric Klapisch. It is about Xavier, an economics graduate student studying for a year in Barcelona, Spain as part of the Erasmus program, where he encounters and learns from a group of students who hail from all over Western Europe.

The film's portrayal is in the first-person perspective of the main character,

Xavier, and is hence mainly narrated in French. Some of the dialogue is in English however, and a significant amount is in Spanish, as well as small amounts in Catalan, Danish, German and Italian.

Watching the film participants were able to understand much better the aim of

our project and saw some of the places that the main character had visited during his stay in Barcelona. The 6th students learnt more about our Twinspace with the help of Laurence Altibelli. The 7th: All posters were shown in the cafeteria, groups walked around listened to

students' explanations and looked at their wonderful posters and at the information

they had prepared from their companies. When we visited the Turkish stand we could

also find a lot information from Elazig we could even taste some food . That was a really

good idea as our next meeting is going to be held there so everybody could have all the

information they wanted about our next journey.

STUCOM has been a Unesco School for more that 10 years. We

have worked in different projects to help those who really need

us.

There are many poor families from different poor. Countries who live close to the school.

Our students and teachers help them to have a better life and to integrate. Again our

project “Waves” is an important tool for all of us.

STUCOM offers the opportunity to work in different companies

to all our students and to those foreign students who visit us .
