If you’re thinking about going on a trip to Spain with your company to do teambuilding activities, then these 7 ideas will get your creative juices flowing.
Discover Barcelona using your company’s values
‘Value hunting’ is an activity based in Barcelona which consists of winning “trophies” which represent your company’s values. These prizes are distributed across various interesting city-centre sites, and to win them, you will have to be proactive, answer questions, devise strategies and, above all, work as a team.
Put your 5 senses to the test
This 5 senses workshop is an ideal fun ice-breaking activity and lets you discover local cuisine. We suggest dividing the group up into teams of 5 or 6 people to take on a series of challenges based on smell, sight, touch, sound and most of all, taste.
Flamenco, toros and tapas in Madrid
Three of the most traditional Spanish customs brought together in one private tour of Madrid. Ideal for discovering the local culture at first-hand. Enjoy sampling homegrown, local products from paella to Iberian ham, cheese and olive oil.
Culinary workshop in Barcelona
A culinary workshop with a professional chef will get participants crying with laughter. Whether they are culinary aficionados or not, it’s a great opportunity to learn how to make the most famous local dishes. At the end the chef will choose the winning team and then it’s time to tuck in!
Escape from Barcelona with puzzles and mysteries
Surely, you’ve heard of escape rooms. You’re locked in a room and can only escape by solving a set of clues. Well World Experience has reinvented this idea and turned it into an escape from Barcelona. Through clues you’ll find in places like the Boqueria market, the Santa Maria del Pi bell tower or the Born Cultural Centre, you’ll reach the finale in Montjuïc castle.
Visit Madrid on e-bike
Another leisure activity in Madrid involves touring the city by e-bike. A guide will keep you all company along the way, explaining the significance of the monuments, buildings and streets you see, as well as their history and plenty of fun facts.
Join a ‘castellera’ in Barcelona
The human towers, known as ‘castells’, are one of Catalonia’s best-kept traditions. This is an activity in which cooperation, the ability to overcome your fears and communication are essential in order to build a human tower. Our expert ‘castellers’ will help participants do this in the safest way possible.
