Sankt Hans

St. Hans Aften, or Midsummer Night, is celebrated in Denmark on the 23th of June, (the night before Midsummer Day, where st. John the Baptist was born) by sitting around a big bonfire, singing the Midsummer ballad, drinking and eating. In some towns a local known gives a speech. On the bonfire is traditionally placed a figure, which looks like a witch. The witches fly according to tradition to Bloksbjerg (Brocken) in Harzen Midsummer Evening and -Night. Both bonfire and witch is a new tradition, descending from German artisans that visited Kalundborg in the 1860's. Witch burnings have admittedly occurred in Danish history, but they're now associated with the traditional Midsummer rituals. The bonfires purpose was to scare away witches and evil spirits, rather than burning them.

Colònia Güell

Today we went to the Colònia Güell near Cervello, today it's a town but before it was a autosuficient colony owned by Eusebio Güell, a wealthy businessman.












The church of Colònia Güell is unfinished and the crypt is the only part built, they won't start building the rest because they are concentrating there funds at the Sagrada Familia, but the crypt itself is very beautiful with mosiacs and interesting designs like the pillars that look like trees.

Barcelona Port

Today we went to the port in Barcelona, we took a boat through the port taking photos of cruisers and of dry docks,there weren't many cruisers though, they usually come to port mainly around july and august. Then we went under a bridge called the door of Europe.









The port is planning to extend a part of the port to become one of the important commercial ports in Europe, but if it goes ahead, it will destroy most of the biodiversity surrounding the area.

What can you see at the Batlló House?

Today, for the "final school work", we have been in Barcelona, at the Eixample.
We have seen the Batlló House, and we've learned that Batlló's frontal, has a meaning, but it's confusing....
Some people say that it's related to Sant Jordi legend (the multicolored undulating roof represents the skin of the dragon, and it have a big sword nailed on the top) but some people says that it's related to the carnival (the balconys represent the masks and the roof, a funny hat).
What do you think?
