From November 7–9, Dario, Fede and Javi swapped Collège du Léman for Gaudí, guitar, and good vibes in beautiful Barcelona!

After a smooth flight and check-in, they dove right into the city’s magic — exploring La Pedrera, the inspiring Sagrada Familia, and soaking up the energy of a Spanish Guitar and Flamenco show by the beach.

Sunday brought football fever at Camp Nou, where the students got a behind-the-scenes look at Barcelona’s legendary stadium, Camp Nou, before heading home — tired, happy, and full of stories.

It was a weekend bursting with culture, laughter, and memories they’ll never forget.

¡Que vagi bé i ja ens veurem, Barcelona!

What a team!

Some say he’s the GOAT

The boys have been very active again this weekend. Some of the choices today: Cooking, Badminton, Climbing, Art Club and Lake Clean-up. The boys are very happy to take part in their weekend activities and put in the effort to improve in their skills. Efe is making sure to log his REACH hours by helping the community in joining the team of Lake Cleaners. He manage to pick up lots of rubbish and threw it away in the appropriate recyling bin. Thanks Efe!

Tonight, the vibrant and magnificent flavours of Mexico graced the palates of the Conchas boys as we gathered for another memorable International Food Night. The aroma of tender lamb, zesty salsa, and perfectly roasted potatoes filled the air, bringing warmth and excitement to the evening. Every bite carried a touch of home for many—reminding us of a nation celebrated around the world for its bold, colourful, and soulful cuisine. Laughter and conversation flowed as freely as the flavours, making it a night that beautifully blended food, friendship, and cultural pride.

Smiles all around

Today we had the luck of celebrating Alex’s 14th birthday!

Wishing him well, first thing in the morning!

The boys surprising him with cake and a super high pitch scream from Artem!

We are back!

We hope you have had a restful break!

This harvest season, please ensure

You get some sleep, and plenty more

As there is nothing better than lots of rest

To hit the ground running feeling our best

See you in two weeks!

This week’s International Dinner at the Léman cafeteria brought the vibrant flavors of Spain to our tables! This week we saw a Spanish-inspired menu that brought the taste of the Mediterranean to the tables of CDL.

Tapas style, crispy patatas bravas, roasted escalivada vegetables, and a tomato gazpacho — all topped off with a rich, creamy cheesecake for dessert (YUMMMMMM). Spanish music and karaoke (arranged by the wonderful Mr.Ronan and Sam) added to the festive atmosphere, making it a night full of great food, culture, and fun. As always the boys had a great time and soaked up the nights ambience!!!
