Day 8: Barcelona
Our final day in Spain! The day started with SMCC singing! With a rehearsal time of 9:15 at the Petite Palau, we found ourselves warming up before we could even open our eyes. After testing the acoustics of the hall, we were served a sandwich and drink before entering the hall once again to begin our concert.
With foreign dignitaries present, the pressure was on, but our excitement overcame it. We performed about as well as 40 exhausted singers could, and brought joy to the hearts of those watching.
Now that we had no commitment to save our voices, the real fun could begin. We embarked on a bus tour around Barcelona with a British guy name Steve. Steve took us to all of the Gaudi monuments around the city, including the one that makes Barcelona so famous: La Iglesia de Sagra Familia. This enormous church is still a work in progress, and will not be finished for several years. The architecture is breathtaking, and while some may disagree at the appropriateness of this monument, its feats are undeniable.
As the tour concluded and an hour of shopping elapsed, we made our way over to a tapas bar for dinner. The tapas were delicious and the company was great. While the parents sat and relaxed, the rest ran around taking pictures, partying with the waiters, and hugging little boys. We performed for the owner of the restaurant and said our goodbyes to the chaperons. The parents were to get a good night's sleep before a long day of traveling, but the kids were instructed to party their hardest aboard a double-decker party bus.
Few words can describe the intensity and greatness that encompasses the adventure through the streets of Spain. Those words are insane, great, intense, and insane. Did I mention insane? However, all good things come to and end, and our night was no exception. With this tour oer' as well, we all look back with fond memories of an amazing week away from home!
We can't thank Incantato Tours enough for all that they've done. The concerts, the sights, and the people were all impeccable. Thank you Sandra and Mark (Max Kiefer) for building memories that will last a lifetime!
We're coming home!

Day 7: BARCELONA!
We finally made it! After such a restless night, and tiresome morning, it's amazing we're even alive! We arrived in our Valencian hotel rooms last night at around 3 in the morning. And with only 5 hours of sleep, we marched down the 17 flights of stairs where we were met my Javi and Alex with our beautiful bus.
4 hours of driving later we found ourselves in the cultural Mecca that is Barcelona! After grabbing a quick lunch by the Marina, we proceeded to the most famous street in Barcelona, one the way, visiting a gorgeous cathedral, and the very steps on which Columbus told his news of the "New World." When we reached "La Rambla," we were set loose, free to explore all of the shops that awaited us. While shopping consumed some of the agendas, the rest were filled with animal markets, world famous food markets, and of course, jersey hunting. After our allotted time, we all piled around the towering statue of Christopher Columbus awaiting Kiefer's guidance to our dinner location.
There we were re-united with our friend and owner of Incantato Tours, Sandra. With Sandra in our ranks, we enjoyed an amazing meal of seemingly endless tapas, all of which were mouth-wateringly delicious.
After our briefing for tomorrow concluded, we raced back to the hotel so we could watch the second half of "El Classico," the extremely competitive, and extremely intensive game between two rivals, Futbol Club Barcelona and Real Madrid. This rivalry is so strong and so famous that all of Spain stands still for the ninety minutes in which it takes place, not to mention the clashing of the two best players in the world, each trying to prove their dominance over the other. Much to our own joy, Barcelona and their star, Messi crushed Madrid 2-0. As time expired, the city and the hotel rooms exploded with celebration. "Si! Si! Si! Ganamos a Madrid!" Yes! Yes! Yes! We beat Madrid!
With the city full of life and celebration, the San Marino Chamber Singers are left depleted of any energy and full of sand on their eyes. What an exciting end to an even more exciting day in paradise!

Fun Facts of the day:
Javi and Alex are living legends for switching our luggage between 3 different buses, all in one day. The nude beaches were not as close as we were told. Pans sucks. Giant lollipops are very popular in Spanish culture.

Sones corales en el salón de plenos
Hernández Mateo anuncia que los cinco continentes estarán en el próximo Certamen de Habaneras
from http://www.laverdad.es/alicante/v/20100410/torrevieja/sones-corales-salon-plenos-20100410.html
En el salón de plenos del Ayuntamiento de Torrevieja no se oyeron ayer las habituales discusiones entre los concejales. Este espacio del Consistorio se convirtió una prolongación de los escenarios donde tiene lugar el 24 Encuentro Coral Internacional 'Ciudad de Torrevieja'. Allí el alcalde de la ciudad, Pedro Hernández Mateo, acompañado por el edil de Cultura, Eduardo Dolón Sánchez así como por los responsables de la Coral Francisco Vallejos, organizadora del evento, recibió a la totalidad de directores de los cinco coros participantes en esta edición de la importante convocatoria de música vocal, así como a un gran número de los ciento cincuenta coralistas que se dan cita en la ciudad hasta el próximo domingo, cuanto tendrá lugar el concierto de clausura.
El primer edil ofreció una bienvenida a los internacionales coralistas, pronunciando unas palabras en las que incidió en lo que tiene este encuentro de «promoción de un mensaje de amor y amistad desde Torrevieja». El regidor también se refirió a la «joya cultural» de la ciudad, como es el Certamen Internacional de Habaneras y Polifonía, e incluso se atrevió a desvelar que «si las gestiones siguen por el buen camino que llevan, en la próxima edición, la del 55 certamen, tendremos en Torrevieja coros de los cinco continentes».
En concreto, de la habanera, dijo Hernández Mateo, que «es el canto de cuna de los torrevejenses, que la cantan en todos los momentos importantes de su vida». Uno a uno, los directores y responsables de los coros de Madrid, Valencia, Italia, Austria, Suecia y Estados Unidos, dieron muestras de su gratitud por la «gran acogida que hemos tenido en Torrevieja». Algunos incluso se refirieron a la gran labor de intercambio que se produce, como en el caso de Mónica Perales, directora del Coro A Cau d'orella, quien manifestó que gracias a la asistencia a un encuentro coral de Torrevieja en el año 2007, logró viajar a Italia, por medio de la relación de amistad con el director italiano, Fabricio Carchi, quien anoche dirigió al Coro Femenino Eos de Roma en el concierto celebrado en el Teatro Auditorio Municipal.
La recepción convirtió finalmente el salón de plenos en un auditorio improvisado, donde el coro italiano y el coro San Marino Chamber Singers de California, que también intervino en el concierto de anoche, ofrecieron dos interpretaciones. Precisamente el coro americano lo hizo con la preciosa habanera 'A Tu Lado', de Javier Busto, y letra del poeta torrevejense, Matías Antón.
El concierto de anoche lo completó la actuación del grupo Brikcius Ensemble de Madrid.
El programa de hoy de el encuentro, comienza a las once de la mañana en el Palacio de la Música con el noveno Foro Coral. A las seis de la tarde en el Centro Comercial Habaneras se llevará a cabo un concierto a cargo de la coral anfitriona, la Francisco Vallejos de Torrevieja. Por la noche, a partir de las nueve en el Teatro Auditorio Municipal intervendrán coros de Austria, Suecia y Valencia.

San Marino Chamber Choir finale Concert at the Palau de la Música Catalana on April 11 at noon
Incantato Tours proudly presents the San Marino Chamber Choir at the Petit Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona on Sunday, April 11, at noon.
The Palau de la Música Catalana (Palace of Catalan Music) in Barcelona is a concert hall designed in the Catalan modernism style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It was built between 1905 and 1908 for the Orfeó Català, a choral soci
ety. The Palau won the architect an award from the Barcelona City Council in 1909, given to the best building built during the previous year. Between 1982 and 1989, the building underwent extensive restoration, remodeling, and extension. In 1997, the Palau de la Música Catalana was even declared as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, more than half a million people a year attend musical performances in the Palau that range from symphonic and chamber music to jazz and Cançó (Catalan song). Many of the world's best soloists and singers have visited the Palau de la Música Catalana, among them are Lela Tsurtsumia, Alfred Cortot, Albert Schweitzer, Julian Lloyd Webber, Montserrat Caballé and Josep Carreras. Also performing at the Palau have been famous choirs, such as Capella Sistina di Roma, Orfeón Donostiarra, Escolania de Montserrat and the Wiener Sängerknaben.
Opened on the 18th of February 2004, the Petit Palau hall is a new auditorium intended for events that require a smaller seating capacity than the Concert Hall. Its dimensions and acoustics make it particularly suitable for music concerts. It is built at a depth of 11 metres. Fixed stands and retractable orchestra stalls that can be concealed under the stage make this a versatile and unique space.

Day 6: Torrevieja
A standing ovation! What an exhausting day. From the very beginning, we were running, or as our busdriver Javi would say, "siempre corriendo!" After a fulfilling breakfast at the hotel, we got fancy and made our way over to the mayor's office, where we were met by a crew of reporters and television video cameras. As all of the participating choirs from Italy, Austria, Madrid, and Sweden filed in, our Chamber Singers sat in anticipation waiting for the press conference to start. With our fearless leader, Paola speaking on behalf of all the countries, hundreds of sounds, flashes, and laughs filled the room.
The mayor was very hospitable, and welcomed all of us to Torrevieja. He told us to make ourselves at home and to enjoy the rich exchange of cultures.
With the conference over, we went back to the hotel, ate, and packed everything up.
We then spent a few hours catching up on our relaxation time back at the boardwalk. And after we spent some time strolling around with a Burger King crown on made our way over to the concert hall.
We warmed up, and prepared ourselves mentally for the grueling concert ahead of us. Each song we were singing demanded every ounce of our voice, as well as our hearts. Finally the time came when it was our time to perform.
Half-way through, the Barbershop provided a quick break for the singers who were on the verge of collapse from such a demanding repertoire. The Four Chords won the hearts of the Spanish crowd with a stunning performance of "What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor?" Rested, and rejuvenated, the choir finished the concert full of passion and energy. As we all sang the last note, the crowd erupted in applause. Slowly but surely re received that treasured standing ovation.
We currently sit in our little tour bus awaiting our return to Valencia. Here we will sleep for a few hours and then make our way to Barcelona!

The SMCC is the special guest at the 24th Encuentro Coral Internacional Cuidad de Torrevieja on April 9
The San Marino Chamber Singers are surely traveling the longest distance to the 24th Encuentro Coral Internacional Cuidad de Torrevieja, which takes place on April 9. As special guests they are given the prime performance spot on Friday night at 9 PM.The venue in Torrevieja, the Palacio de la Musica, is a gem of architecture in the city center and it is playing home to the Municipal Conservatory and frequent recitals from many different musical acts. In this relatively small auditorium, making the views of the stage quite unique and the acoustics very good, the audience feels like a part of the show.
Day 5: Torreviejo
Oh Happy Day! Unlike the usual day of traveling and exhaustion, SMCC and Friends spent a day full of relaxation and fun by the water. Our late wake-up call and delicious breakfast gave us just enough energy for a few hours of shopping on the boardwalk.
When we got back from the excursion we all jumped into our swim trousers and either made our way to the ice-cold beach or the frozen pool. With our new coat of bronze we all found our rooms and spiffied-up to watch two choir perform in the renowned performance hall of Torreviejo. We were then serenaded by the hispanic double of Hugh Laurie and Mr. Bean and entertained by the wonderful children's choir. Shortly after, Bean's choir returned to finish of the night with a bang!
We have an appointment with the mayor tomorrow, so we are all off to bed... Or facebook. Either way, we are as content as can be after a day full of fun in the sun!
Fun Facts of the day:
"If you really, really, have to go to the bathroom, don't." Kelly-mar-y, or as we know it calimarie. The concert was as long as the cold war. Kiefer took a road trip across the Mediterranean.
