Katalonien-Sverige

Glad sommar – Bon estiu




Very soon it we will be summer;  estiu” in katalanska. In Sweden, summer is really wonderful, and Swedes are using this time, working and working, repairing houses, painting, building. Here we find the typical expression: Swedish summer!

 

In Sweden, the weather usually is around 18º, and the life is to think of enjoying nice bath in some lakes, having a nice barbecue or a  fika. Easy life and having contact with the nature…

 

Using some simple t-shirt and short trousers and comfortable sandals. That’s the best “ suite “.

 

In Catalunya the weather and the life is not the same.  In that area, similar in extension to Västerbotten, we are 7,5 million people living. It’s not so easy to find some lake or place where you can say: I’m alone! The temperature is around 35º or 40º, and high humidity. Always you are wet L.

But, we have a nice coast and beaches. The best places are in Costa Brava –Girona : www.girona.cat/turisme, in the north of Barcelona and there we can find tourists from around the world.

 

People like to wear t-shirts or shorts in order to show off, (like Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger or something like this.) It’s necessary to show to the rest of the people that they are the best L. I can not understand this silly system; I prefer Swedish way, of course…

 

The sun is coming…. !!!, that’s the best.

    It is fantastic how we see things differently! For me summer in Catalonia, that is Torredembarra, our nice little village 90 km south of Barcelona, is not at all as you describe it. It is a lovely warm sea where one can swim for hours, a looooong golden beach where I make walks every morning almost alone, nice small restaurants by the the very beach where one can sit lazily eating tapas with a cold white wine or a ”clara” (beer mixed with lemon soda). In the evening walking by the seaside meeting friends and family dressed in t-shirts & jeans, no fancy dressing. And above all: sun every day!!
