Visit to Spain

Hi

I am currently teaching in 6 primary schools in Birmingham. I loosely follow the QCA Scheme of Work and add my own materials. I am going to Spain next Sunday and will visit a school near Barcelona to set up a link. I am looking for a further 2 Spanish schools to set up links so half of my schools will have a direct link to Spain and hopefully visit one day.

Gaudi

Barcelona was born in Reus and spnt many years in Barcelona building La Casa Batllo, La Casa Mila i la Sagrada Familia. The queues to get in to visit are very long but they are well worth a visit inside. The one in this picture ihas a most intricate structure. If you visit make sure to listen to the free taped explanation. Casahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Batll%C3%B3

My home town Barcelona, a magnificent city with medieval quarters and a well designed city centre well worth seeing. Some fantastic original arquitecture from Gaudi which is extremely worth seeing. An excellent night life, art galleries, sea side, mountains and nice people.
