A PERFECT COMBINATION

Barcelona is a gem of a city. Set right on the coast of the Mediterranean, it offers an urban culture, a beach scene, mountains, and all the romance of a Spanish city. Perhaps the best place to go to immerse yourself in Barcelona’s culture is La Boqueria. La Boqueria really is one of the best markets in the world. You can easily spend a day getting lost in all the sights, tastes, and smells here. It is the starting point for many of the city’s Catalan restaurant menus, and you will not be disappointed by all the market has to offer.

After your taste buds have been awakened at La Boqueria, get prepared for the visually astounding architecture of Antoni Gaudi. Many people are aware of his Sagrada Familia church – a part prehistoric, part fantasy, part science fiction building that is a key point of interest to almost every visitor to Barcelona. If this type of architecture is what you’re looking for, you can also visit some of his lesser known (but still amazing) buildings like the Casa Mila and Casa Batllo. A museum is now open in Gaudi’s honor, and showcases more of his work. It is in a former mansion called Palau Guell.

If architecture is not your thing, just head down to the beach. There are accessible beaches all along the coast of Barcelona. You will find people of all ages sunbathing, doing a bit of swimming, and enjoying the idyllic Mediterranean weather.

If you travel during the winter months, you can head to the mountains around Barcelona for some amazing skiing. It’s hard to picture snow so close to the Mediterranean, but the elevations produce some great opportunities to enjoy winter sports. They’re not right in Barcelona – you will need to take a car or train, but it’s worth noting that you can add some skiing to your Barcelona vacation!

A GUIDE TO BARCELONA’S CUISINE

For a relaxing change, considering getting a food tour in Barcelona. You can hire a guide who will drive you to all your destinations, and ensure that you have a chance to enjoy the best in cuisine that Barcelona has to offer. Two well-rated tours are the tapas tour, and the nighttime food lovers tour. Tapas are small snacks, canapes, and food bites that originated in Spain. Traditionally, tapas were included when you went out for a drink in a Spanish town. Now, they have taken on a life of their own, varying from region to region, in style, serving portion, and pricing. What hasn’t changed is that they’re still enjoyed all over Spain with a favorite alcoholic beverage.

You can also enjoy the very common practice of eating along the streets. Many cafes and restaurants in Barcelona have tables on the sidewalks. Be sure to enjoy a true Spanish churro. These fried and sugar covered pastries have become common in many places, but you’ll want to enjoy an authentic one in Barcelona. Perhaps have it with a perfect cup of coffee, or even a cup of chocolate to dip it in. You’ll also want to cool down if you’re visiting Barcelona during the hotter months. Iced fruit drinks and coffees are welcome refreshments, or you could try a local favorite drink – the Horchata.

Friends having fun

Most people would think that studying in a business school means interactive high-tech classes, taxing project works, internships, campus placement stress, etc. But, that’s not all for the Rockhurst students studying in the Helzberg School of Management. A group of students from the business school had a wonderful Christmas break with a Spanish twist. They set out for their 12 day trip to Barcelona, Spain on the 1st of January.

This fun trip was actually a part of their academic curriculum. The MG 3091 course which teaches about Global Issues in Business/Culture requires the students to take up a foreign trip in order to learn about the different culture, heritage and lifestyle that people enjoy. As a part of the program, about 20 to 30 students and a few Rockhurst professors make a Spain trip that enables the students to get to know their scenery, business, life and culture.

WHAT ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S BARCELONA TRIP?

This year, the trip was organized for 12 days and the student group was accompanied by Dr. Pete Bicak, the professor of Communication (also Department Chair of Communications and Fine Art) and Dr. Jeremy O’Connor, the assistant professor of management.

This educational trip comprised of various planned activities that are culture and education focused. One morning, the student group visited a small village that is located at the outskirts of Barcelona to learn about a textile company named Punto Blanco that is situated there.

Upon their arrival, the students were taken around the factory so that they can take a closer look at the complete manufacturing process of the company’s luxury socks starting from yarn to packaging stage.

Besides the informative and educational part of the trip, the students also get to closely watch and understand the beauty of the city and its complex architectural structures developed by one of the world famous architects named Antoni Gaudí.

Among the various activities was also an amazing audio-visual tour of the architectural wonder – La SagradaFamilia and Casa Batllo. Both these beautiful structures in Barcelona are masterpieces by Gaudí.

The best part about this education trip by business students is that in almost each year, it gets overlapped with one of the most celebrated holidays in Spain known as the Día de Los Reyes, or the Three Kings Day. While on their trip, the business students get the opportunity to enjoy the first-hand experience of the festivities. They can attend the city parade that is organized outside the magic fountain, Font Mágica.

The fun yet educational trip that is geared towards the overall developed of the students’ personality is made possible by a Jesuit institution which is situated in Barcelona. The institution’s professors join the Rockhurst students to enjoy the educational activities. They also conduct various business lectures.

WHAT DO THE STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY?

Besides knowing the culture and getting to attend lectures, the students also get to enjoy sports and other entrainment. For Alex Mitchell, the best part of the entire trip was the FC Barcelona game. Those who interest in history and culture had a great time discovering the rich artwork at the Museu Nacional d’Arte de Catalunya and the Picasso Museum.
