First-rate indoor training facilities in the area, with AENA (All England Netball Association) qualified coaches to oversee your team’s development.

Excursions

Port Aventura
One of Europe’s most exciting theme parks, Port Aventura captures the culture and atmosphere of regions around the world, with themed areas based on the Mediterranean, Polynesia, China, Mexico and the Wild West. A fun and relaxing excursion one hour outside of Barcelona, we know students recharge during a day spent here, readying them for more sights back in the city.

Camp Nou Experience
Immerse your students in the atmosphere of the phenomenal Camp Nou football stadium – home of Barcelona Football Club since its construction in 1957. With a capacity of 98,787, making it the largest stadium in Europe, we’ve seen school groups amazed by both its size and energy.

AquaDiver Waterpark
A huge open-air complex with everything from racing waterslides to daring kamikazes, AquaDiver Waterpark offers the perfect excursion to cool off in the Spanish summer heat. We know your students will love a day to let loose here.

La Pedrera - Casa Mila
One of the most photographed buildings in Barcelona, Casa Mila was the final private residential building to be designed by Antoni Gaudi and is regarded as one of his most iconic works of civic architecture. We think this building is a true work of art – every student should be given the opportunity to see this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site.

Olympic Stadium
Stand amid the colossal size of the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on this excursion, where Olympic greats once competed in the Summer Olympics of 1992. Now a site for European football matches and large music concerts, the stadium remains a key part of Barcelona’s culture, and offers a nice quick stop for students on any journey around Montjuïc.

Waterworld Lloret de Mar
One of the best water parks in Western Europe, Water World is a sprawling leisure complex of pools which include wave machines, waterslides and chutes – perfect for cooling off in the Spanish summer heat. With several restaurants and pancake houses to re-energise, we know your students will love a day to let loose here.

La Sagrada Familia
The symbol of Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia is a must-visit when staying in this Catalan city. Arguably one of the most spectacular basilicas in the world, Gaudi’s original design is still unfinished to this day. Though breathtaking from the outside, the inside of the church doesn’t disappoint either – we’ve seen students gaze in awe at the colourful stained glass windows and towering columns.

Las Ramblas
One of the best-known features of Barcelona, this magnificent mile-long boulevard was originally a mountain stream that ran alongside the 13th century second wall of the city. Now, flower stalls and street art line the pavement, between dozens of shops, restaurants and human statues that we know your students will love exploring.
