Edgar on Tourism

My favourite place in Barcelona is the Park Güell, because is a little forest inside the city, and have a beautifully architecture.
I went to Sagrada Família 5 months ago.
I think that the city is popular thanks to Gaudi, because he made Park Güell and Sagrada Família.
The majority part of the tourist is from china.
The advantages about the tourists are that’s good for the economy and the disadvantages is that the city is more noisy.
If somebody wants to get to know the city they should go with Bus Turístic.

Carlos on Tourism

Barcelona is a very touristy city. My favourite place in Barcelona is Camp Nou because is the stadium from my favourite football club. The stadium is very big and fits one hundred thousand people. Is the biggest in Europe.
The last time I went to a museum is a long time ago. We have a lot of modernists’ attractions. The most people come from China, Japan, England and Italy.
The advantages are that the people spend a lot of money and the disadvantages are they do the “botellón”.
I would advice that they need to care the attractions.

Victor on Tourism

My favourite place in Barcelona is “Paseig de Gràcia” because there are a lot of shops to buy clothes, ice creams and to walk along it. It’s a good place to go with friends.
I visit monuments in Barcelona frequently, because I move a lot in Barcelona and I don’t visit so museums but the last was the wax museum.
I think that the attractive of Barcelona is the history, because Barcelona has a lot of history and it is so attractive.
I think that the most tourist come from China, Europe and Japan.
Barcelona is a big city and the centre is always full of people, and it’s so easy to steal things from tourists; you can visit a lot of things and there are a lot of tourists. I think that tourist must be careful with them things and follow the guide and if them haven’t got a guide have all planed.

Jacinto On Tourism

My favourite place in Barcelona is passeig de gràcia. I like it because there are lots of famous buildings, for example la
Pedrera, casa batlló… In passeig de gràcia there are a lot of shops and you can buy everything that you want. At the end of passeig de gràcia is plaça Cataluña, there is the corte inglés, plaça Cataluña is the centre of Barcelona always it’s full of tourists. At Christmas all the passeig de gràcia it’s full of lights, its very beautiful

Gerard 0n Tourism

I think that Barcelona is becoming in a big ball of tourist of all kind of cultures around the world.
I think tourists are a plague that the government wouldn’t stop because they win lots of money with strangers, but for me, they are becoming in a society that never stops in Bcn.
For example, if you go to a famous monument or an interesting building there are lots of tourists.
That’s why I hate about they, because they’re in all parts of the city, but they are polite, they always respect you, they make the effort to speak in your language, etc.

Gaietá on Tourism

My favourite place of Barcelona is the Park Güell because is one of the last green place of it.
I visit the Park Güell last month.
The city is popular for his monuments and his museums. I think that the tourist go to Barcelona for his weather, there are public beaches, at Barcelona come a lot of charters with tourist to pass some days.
Most of the tourists that come to Barcelona are from Japan.
One of the advantages of the tourism is that the city is more popular, and wins a lot of money; some of the big brands want to do publicity in it.
There are a lot of disadvantages; one is that there are a lot of people in the street and some tourist make the city dirty.
If tourists want to see the city well they would catch the tourist bus.

Albert on Tourism

My favourite place in Barcelona is Park Güell because since I was very young I go to it to make some school projects, to have a walk and play football with my friends . I like it because it’s the most green place in Barcelona.I visited last year the Barcelona wax museum
I think Barcelona is so popular with tourists because we have a rich culture that other people like.
Most of the tourists come from U.K. France, Italy, and Japan.
For me there are no advantages and a lot of disadvantages. One is that they make a lot of parties and drink a lot of drinks. They are very noisy at night and sometimes I can’t sleep.
I will say to the tourist that it has to visit Sagrada Família, Park Güell and a typical “tapas” bar.

Sofia on Tourism

My favourite place in Barcelona is Pg. de Gràcia because there are a lot of shops and a few places to spend some time with friends.
I think the tourists come to Barcelona because we did an important celebration 15 years ago called: The Olympic games, because all the monuments that Gaudí did like the Sagrada familia, the park Güell, etc. the history, the variety of the food, the fashion and of course because this is a beautiful city.
Most of the tourists that come to Barcelona are from china or Japan, and of course in Barcelona come people from Europe like French people, or English or German people when they are young people, students, they came to visit the city and also for learn Spanish, and when they are more old they specially come for visit the city and learn the history.
There are some advantages of tourism to the city, it makes the economy grow, and makes us to learn other cultures. But also there are disadvantages; all the tourists make a lot of pollution and this is not good for us and for the city. They should behave themselves and don’t be drunk, rude, dirty and noisy.

Monica on Tourism

My favoutite place in Barcelona is the centre, passeig de gracia, the beach (the sea) and of course the neighbourhood of Gracia.
I think that the most tourist who come to Barcelona are from China, Japan, France and England. They come here to see the popular things for example the monuments of Gaudi, the typical and healthy food, the mediterranean weather and for the famous nigth life in the street. But in the city there are a lot of other interesting things to do and visit. I recomend to the tourist who came here to go and visit the famous gaudi’s monuments, some museums of art and urban sculptures and photograph, go to spend some time in musical nigth bars and go to see concerts of the new tecnologyes and the new styles of music in the street of the city. But of course for the lovers of the clasical music go to the Liceu.
Of course all the people who come to visit the city have to behave, it means that they have to respect the people who live here, don’t mess up the street and don’t be dirty and noisy.

Monica's Future

Carlos' future

Gerard

I’ll be short. I don’t want to spend your very precious time, so, let’s talk about me, by parts.
First of all, my name’s Gerard Gonzalez, I’m 15 year old, and I find the English a little interesting, but it doesn’t interest me very much.
Since I was 4 years old, in my school, we were studying like one of the less important subject, the English.
Anyway, this was a very important subject during the years, now, in the high school, the teachers are very strict in this subject.
Talking about other topics of my life, I like playing football, I’m a learner of a drummer and I like spend my time making games of other games. If you don’t understand me, is because you aren’t a good cracker of 3D games.
I like to go skiing and play basketball, as well. I don’t like the people that are a little conceited, this disappoint me.

For the end I have prepared the last firework rocket: I have to cats, and I hate cats.

If I was heavy, If you think that I’m a fool, or other things like that, please, read the other blogs about my friends blogs.
