Write something about getting there , about meeting the local students and finding the working place and the place where you stayed.
I went there by plane to Girona then by bus to Barcelona. Sara the local LEO picked me up from the bus station and showed me the way to get to the student flat. She introduced me to the other students and told some practical things about transport and leaving in Barcelona.

I stayed in the flat with 6 other students. They were Hungarian. There was only one bathroom so we vey often had to wait very long time to get there. I shared the room with one Hungarian girl

I worked at the pharmacy. As i don't speak Spanish I was only putting the drugs on the shelves and giving them to the patients. the work was rather boring. Sometimes I was making some drugs.

I visited almost everything what is worth seeing in Barcelona. We organised also some trips outside the city to the mountains or to the Costa Brava. We had to pay for it and arrange it by ourselves.

It is better to choose the country which language you speak. You can benefit more from such an exchange.
