The tour was excellent. It was really well organised. Matches, hospitality, excursions, food
and accommodation were brilliant!
Stephen McDowell | Portadown College | Barcelona Tour
Barcelona rivals any destination in
this brochure for a youth tour.
Nowhere else in Europe can you
enjoy the sights, the beach, the
sport, the food, the weather & great
night options from the UK.
Throw
in
a
thriving
Rugby
community & it is up there with
Parma and Cardiff in our Top 5 in
2021.
A technicality has prevented Spain
playing the opening match of
RWC2019 against Japan. For those
who follow European Rugby closely,
the rise of the Spanish side has been
mesmeric. Famously beating Samoa
to compete in the Sevens at the
Brazil Olympics, the success of the
national side has much to do with
the depth of the game at grass-roots
in cities like Barcelona.
In recent seasons, we9ve sent some
strong youth teams to the region,
many of whom come home surprised
and impressed.
Whether it be a session at the
awesome BUC Rugby or a oxture at
Sant Cugat, one of the regions
leading clubs, the rugby experience
is strong.
Away from this, you9ll have time on
the beach, see the city on a bike &
If your tour were to coincide with
an FC Barcelona home match at
the Camp Nou, getting tickets is
relatively easy.
A short walk from the Hostel will
take you down
Passeig de Gracia, a main
thoroughfare into the heart of the
city.
The street is lined with news stands
selling papers, magazines, water &
you guessed it, FC Barca Tickets.
Tickets start from around €20.
