On 12th March we had a dinner with the Swedish students. We met with all of them and with the teachers at 8:30 pm at the restaurant “Tasca i vins”. When we got there we were shown to a dining room only for us, we sat down in different tables and on the tables we could see some drinks such as lemon, orange and cola sodas and water.
Then the waiters started serving the food. As starters they brought nachos, Spanish omelets, croquettes, calamari, and "calçots". “Calçots” is a very typical Catalan dish, they are spring onions that have been grilled and they are served with a special sauce. You have to peel the outer layer of the onion, which is charred, and then dip it into the sauce. Finally the waiters brought an assortment of toasts with whip, cheese, pork loin, tuna and bacon. For desert we had lemon ice-cream.
When we finished the meal the Swedish teachers gave a present to our teachers, Patricia and Jan, it was a traditional Swedish game.
Later on we left the restaurant and we went to a park nearby. When we were there we sang a typical Catalan song, "L'hora dels adeus" and we said goodbye to everybody because that was the last time that we were going to see some of the Swedish students.
