OTHER ACTIVITIES
This is a very interactive experience designed
to stimulate creativity, cooperation and
communication. Although Picasso was born in
Malaga, Spain, he spent many years living in
Barcelona as a struggling artist learning his
trade. Famed for developing the style of
painting known as cubism, his creative
footprints are evident throughout the city. In
this experience you will create a collage based
on a famous piece of Picasso artwork.
Firstly you will be split into groups and taken on a 30 minute Picasso tour of the city centre. The
tour is an extremely informative historical look at the life of Picasso. Along the walk, your team
must stay alert and be observant, as you will have to pick up various materials and objects, which
represent the ‘spirit of Picasso’. Attention! The idea is to be as creative as possible.
The second part of this experience takes place back at the
workshop. There will be a quiz consisting of 10 questions based
on the tour. For each correct question, the team receives a
bonus in the form of a required ‘tool’ for the collage. You will be
given 45 minutes to 1 hour to create your Picasso masterpiece.
Each team then elects a spokesperson to give a 30 second
explanation of the ideas behind their creations. The winning
team will be judged by our art experts.
Lunch/dinner is also an option
Would you like to be Gaudí for
one day and create a colourful
and original work of art?
You will have the opportunity
to try the same artistic
techniques that Gaudí utilized
in his buildings using the real
materials he used such as
ceramics, wood and glue.
Artistic Workshop:

Pintxos Workshop
The gastronomic relevance of the pintxo, also
known as miniature cuisine, is due in great
part to the Basque Country and its traditions.
In the early 20th Century small taverns
appeared in the Basque Country, places to
share the country’s best ciders and wines
together with traditional foods in an informal
and popular atmosphere. Following the
example of the cider-makers, bite-sized
toothpick foods known as pintxos were served
to counter the excesses caused by drinking.
Cider houses and taverns are and have always been a cultural legacy in theBasque Country. A legacy that this activity wishes to conserve and convertinto a meeting place of the past with the present, where culture and relationscan come together.
For groups interested in this appetizing gastronomic art, this teambuildingactivity offers the chance to participate in its pintxos workshop. Anentertaining activity that forms part of our country’s culture, designed to teachand be enjoyed at the same time.

Human Towers – Castellers is based on one of
the most important Catalan traditions: Castells.
This word, translated into English, means castle,
and consists of the construction of
humantowers. A lot of people is needed to
attain this objective, and it is very important that
all of them communicate, cooperate and work
together in to get the final success.
The event will start by a demonstration of a group of castellers so that participants
can get familiar with what they are going to do. After this first introduction, it will be
the time to get into action. We will divide participants into teams in order to carry out
a practice period, where they will be able to learn the main techniques, structures,
etc. And once they control the basics, will be the moment for the final performance.
All teams together will collaborate in the building of one castle.
