Visit to Barcelona

The week before Half Term, students from Year 13 and Ms. Cavanillas visited the wonderful city of Barcelona in hopes of learning more about their future Universities and about the city’s culture. Despite having to wake up at 4 a.m., the group felt very awake and excited to start their adventure. The morning consisted of a delicious breakfast in Passeig de Gracia and a visit to the impressive La Pedrera, where they were given a guided tour of the building and its unique architecture. Unfortunately, time flies when you’re having fun, so in no time they had to leave to attend the University Fair. It was an amazing opportunity to talk with representatives of different UK Universities learn about them. Next on their list was another guided tour, but this time of the astounding CRG, a center dedicated to genetic research. They were all absolutely fascinated by the wonders discovered in this lab and even carried out a small experiment. But the time to leave Barcelona was getting close, so they had a quick lunch and left for the airport, where they said goodbye to Barcelona and the incredible day they had experienced.
