The last time I faced my fear of heights was about 3 years ago when I was driven up along the Costa Brava by a friend to take part in what I was lead to believe was a fun initiation class into Scuba Diving!
Dressed in flip flops and a summer dress I had mentally prepared myself to meet with the deep sea world for the first time. I was a little anxious and tried a few times to back out en route but after driving 1.5 hours and on arrival at our destination my fears and anxiety quadrupled when I discovered that my friend had played an awful trick on me and I was actually booked to do a SKYDIVE…………..!!!
What would make a group of guys decide to fly to Barcelona and jump off a bridge?? It does not spring to mind immediately as you write your list of top ten things to do in Barcelona does it? Well for James Goldstone and his group, thats exactly what they did last week. Accompanied by 4 of our staff who decided that anything the guys could do, they could do as well. It was a fun day out for all and we had a real pleasure working with James and his group, they were a really nice charming bunch of guys!!!

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to see a very interesting and mind boggling spectacle. The spectacle I elude to was one of hundreds upon hundreds of motorbikes (mainly Harleys), cruising down the streets of Barcelona. It transpired that by far the world´s most famous “motorcycle” (I apologise to all you Harley enthusiasts for swearing), had just finished celebrating it´s 105th anniversary. Read the rest…
With the Formula 1 season well under way, we decided to go and test out some of the driving experiences that we offer at the famous Circuito De Catalunya. About 30 minutes from the centre of Barcelona, you will find the impressive, renowned, track. It is arguably one of the best tracks on the F1 circuit.
If you are a driving enthusiast and really love speed then this is without a doubt the experience for you. Pick your choice between the F1 Real deal drive and the F1 twin seater experience. Read the rest…
Every year on the 23rd of June, neighbourhoods in Barcelona organize celebrations with bonfires and firework displays. This celebration started as a pagan festival for summer solstice which is the shortest night/ longest day of the year and each year the whole city gets involved and goes crazy. Read the rest…

Last weekend, the whole office was invited to try out a new way of touring the city. We were quite all quite intrigued at first, having toured the city by foot, bicyle, scooter, trike, helicopter, Harley Davidson and Ferraris, we thought it would be difficult to impress us with something new!!! But we were thouroughly impressed and had some real fun. GO CARS are an unsual hybrid between a scooter and a 3 wheeler car. They boast a tiny 49cc engine which is just right for getting around the city in style (too fast and no one can see you!) Read the rest…

Funny huh! Just yesterday we were walking around in Mont Juic looking at the Olympic Stadium wondering why it has never been put to good use since the Olympics in 1992. Then this morning I got this email through…

The Meeting in the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc will be the most important athletic event in Barcelona in 2008.

The Meeting will start at 19:30 (provisional) and it will be made up of 18 competitions, 9 for men and 9 for women, besides of some other promotional events reserved for local athletes.
There will be two different ticket categories. The prices will be:
Field Events:
A - Pole vault
B - Long jump / Triple jump
C - Discus
