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…
…Tickets for the International Athletics Meeting Ciutat de Barcelona which will take place on Saturday, 19th July can already be reserved. The Meeting in the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc will be the most important athletic event in Barcelona in 2008. Over 250 top athletes will participate, some of them could be the medalists in the upcoming Olympic Games of Beijing in a couple of weeks.
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
D - Javelin
E - High jump
Tickets will not be numbered, so that all fans can move moving freely around the different stadium zones. This way people keen on this sport will be able to have a closer look at the field events or races they are interested in, from the best places; as far as there are free seats.
Children under 12 will have free entrance
Tickets can be bought at the Stadium ticket office. However they can be reserved in the following ways (it is advisable to do it like this):…
So if you are going to be in Barcelona on the 19th July take a trip to Mont Juic and experience the energy of the Barcelona City Athletics Meeting.
In a previous post I detailed some of the summer music festivals taking place in Barcelona in the forthcoming months. Well! Here are two more, which whilst not as famous as the others might be worth the time to check out. Read the rest…
I have recently stumbled accross a new thing to do in Barcelona and I am gutted that I didnt find it earlier. A few friends from my local bar in Borne all play for football teams in the BIFL, thats Barcelona International Football League to the rest of us, and for the majority of the season they have been trying to get me to go along and watch. The only problem is that their games clashed with fixtures like Manchester United v Arsenal or Chelsea v Spurs so I always politely declined the offer and decided to stay in the pub, until the day came that Dynamo were playing against the Celtic Cross in the BIFL Cup semi-final. These 2 teams contain the majority of my friends who play in the league so I couldnt not go! Read the rest…
A few months ago Lifestyle Barcelona helped a very well known Multi-national events company with the organizing and staffing of a huge corporate event in Barcelona. That event went so well that the next time they were in town they called upon our services to help with the staffing of another massive event, this time at the well known Hotel Arts, a fantastic 5* hotel located right on the beach at Port Olimpic. The clients were a very large law firm with offices all over the world and to coincide with this the agency involved invented a very unique team-building game that involved the clients ‘circumventing the world, completing challenges that were directly linked to each continent as they went’. The group obviously didn’t go round the world, as the financial and time constraints would make it impossible, and they didnt actually have to leave the room to play One World! Read the rest…
