Your travel itinerary could look like...
Day 1
You’ve arrived in sunny Spain! Drop your bags at your accommodation, then make the most of the afternoon by going on a half-day guided city tour (on foot or by coach – it’s your choice!). Take in the key sights and locations of Barcelona –the perfect introduction to the city.
If you’re feeling a little tired from your day of travelling, an evening meal at a local restaurant is a must. Relax with some traditional cuisine and look forward to the rest of your stay!
Day 2
Start your morning with an insightful tour of the Stock Exchange, which will highlight the most important concepts of the financial market through engaging talks and activities. It’s a must-visit for business and economics students, and tours can be tailored to the age or knowledge level of your group.
Once you’ve talked all things money, head off to the Torres Winery for the afternoon. On this unique visit, your group will take a look into the history of the family company, wander through the Mas La Plana Vineyard, and get to know the various stages of wine production.
After wine, it’s time to dine! Sample some delicious local tapas, then enjoy an evening Flamenco show full of music, audience engagement and lots of dancing. Bravo!
Day 3
It’s another fun-filled day in Barcelona! Kick it off with a visit to the Port of Barcelona, one of Europe’s busiest commercial ports. Your group will get a feel for the complexities of running such a huge operation, as well exploring some of the more touristy spots.
Grab some lunch, then head to the Danone Factory for a glimpse behind the scenes of the yoghurt production process. Again, your students will gain an invaluable understanding of the activities involved in running a business of this scale.
After culturing yourself on yoghurt-making, explore the city a little more. Familiarise yourself with the local streets, landmarks and markets of Barcelona, such as Las Ramblas, La Boqueria, Maremagnum Shopping Centre, the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, the Venetian Towers, Ciutadella Park and Cascada Monumental.
Day 4
Savour your last day in Barcelona with some activities that your group will cherish the most. Why not take a tour of the FC Barcelona Museum and observe Camp Nou from the second stand? You’ll enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the entire stadium!
Alternatively, opt for a guided walking tour of the other-worldly Park Güell. You’ll learn all about its history, connections to nature and of course, Gaudí's architecture – it’s what makes this place so special!
There ’s plenty more to see in the city – simply walking around the streets and dipping into the many shops is a worthwhile activity in itself! After you’ve picked up the mandatory magnets and postcards, it’s time to say goodbye to the Catalonian capital.
