Maybe when you think of Bar(they)lona, you only think of vacationing on the beach, but Barcelona adventure travel opportunities are available via land, sky, and sea! Get your gear out for some of the most fun you’ll ever experience. Popular types of adventure programs for trips to Barcelona include...

Water activities. If you’re the type who wishes they could live in water, Barcelona will fit you like a fin. You could sea kayak, kite surf, jet ski, wind surf, wake board, and surf your heart out. With three miles of coastline and seven beaches, you’re bound to find the perfect spot for you. Make sure you check the weather beforehand for the wind and tides, and for the best advice, talk to the locals and ask what locations they recommend for your chosen activity. 

Outdoorsy adventures. From cycling to hiking to backpacking to rock climbing to skydiving and more, you’ll be able to experience sensational thrills in the area. Barcelona’s many natural parks, mountains, peaks, and plains provides participants with many choices outside of the city. You can even find local adventure parks to climb trees and fly branch from branch. Some programs will teach you the art of these activities and some will require participants to be more experienced. 

Sports. Goooooooooal! From touring stadiums to training sessions, sign up for a soccer camp in Barcelona; you’ll be joining the camaraderie of a team and learn some Spanish on the side. Programs offer short-term and long-term soccer camps for boys and girls from youth to college level. These programs are a great way to improve technical skills with effective exercises and specialized training for all types of player positions from experienced coaches.  

The best time of year for Barcelona adventure travel activities is in the spring to enjoy pleasant weather and avoid the large crowds during the summer.

Litteral Best Summer of My Life

December 05, 2024by: Samantha Duffy - United StatesProgram: TFT for Older Teens: Ultimate Europe (30 Days)
10

Before I went on the 30-day Europe trip with TFT I was really nervous. I couldn't help but worry about if I was going to be homesick, make friends, etc. I can genuinely say that this was the best experience of my life. On this trip you get to participate in so much of what Europe has to offer from the art to the food to the scenery. Even though it's been months since I still think about all the inside jokes and friends I made. Everyone was so incredibly nice. Some highlights were the chocolate making class, the private sunset boat tour in cinque terre, paragliding (if you're nervous still do it, it was SO worth it!!!) and seeing taylor swift in concert. I think there was a perfect amount of support from the counselors and independence.
