Stephen Lai, ESADE Business School, Spain
Day 1
First school-day in Barcelona was amazing, I felt so joyful to visit ESADE Business School which located in Sant Cugat. ESADE was formed by a cluster of Spanish elites and entrepreneurs in 1954. In 2009, a new campus was opened in Sant Cugat. In recent years, ESADE Business School is one of the leading schools in business administration program in Europe and it is one of the reasons why I would like to spend my time in Barcelona. My buddies and teachers are so friendly and they are willing to answer my questions about the campus and the country. All in all, the campus area is really nice.
Day 2
Sagrada Familia is a well-known landmark of Spain. In fact, it is an unfinished Roman Catholic church which is located in Barcelona. This architecture was designed by Antoni Gaudí; his creation was eventually marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I really like its architectural structure and style, it draws the attention of every tourist. In particular, I see a lot of tourists who come from Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. Indeed, this place is undoubtedly worth visiting. Certainly, I would like to visit Sagrada Familia again in 2026, because the construction of the building will be finished at that time.
Day 3
Certainly, I would like to spend most of the time in Camp Nou. It is the home stadium of FC Barcelona, which is one of the greatest football clubs of all time. Camp Nou is full of atmosphere, as its maximum seating capacity is approximately 99,350. I watched a match with my friend, both of us enjoyed the view, ambience and the match. I have never watched a football match with this amount of people, their passions for football really surprise me a lot. In my opinion, the Spaniards are passionate about football and thus they could win the World Cup in 2010.
Day 4
Tibidabo is another place that brings happiness to all human beings, it is one of the largest natural urban parks. Besides, the Tibidabo mountain is part of the Collserola mountain range. In Medieval Times, Tibidabo was called Puig de I’Áliga. The name “Tibidabo” was given by the monks of St Jeronimo’s monastery in the 16th century. The word “Tibidabo” comes from the gospel of St Matthew, it was made up of the Latin words “Tibi” and “Dabo”, which mean “I will give you”. Concerning the final stretch of the road, it was built during the period of the Universal Exhibition. On the other hand, the first solid construction was constructed in 1886, consisting of a small chapel. Undoubtedly, Tibidabo is a significant theme park and you can enjoy the view of Barcelona in the Sky Walk.
Day 5
Art is considered as significant in Barcelona, this city is filled with famous artists like Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Antoni Tápies. As a result, a lot of art museums are built so as to cherish those honorable artists and cultivate their culture. The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is one of the eminent museums in Barcelona, it was announced as a national museum in 1990 due to the Museums Law. Its collections are divided into different themes like Romanesque art, Gothic art, Renaissance art and the Modern art. I am fond of the Romanesque church paintings, they are arranged in stylistic order, thus I am able to understand different tendencies during the Romanesque art period.
