Barcelona

The IT Services football team joined the Euro Fives tournament last weekend in Barcelona, following up when we previously entered their tournament in Prague last year.
These tournaments are extremely well run and we had 2 teams entered on this occasion and we all had a blast.
18 of us headed to Barca on Friday, and after checking in at our downtown hostel, we headed off to have a look around the city & try some local Paella & Sangria.
The tournament on Saturday went well with both teams have mixed fortunes and the Reds (my team) winning the plate trophy. It was great fun & with the temperature in the 20s and the thought of snow back in Prague we had a brilliant day.
The tapas on Saturday night was excellent at the Trip-advisor acclaimed Ciutat Comtal and then onto Marmalada to meet up with the rest of the teams for drinks & pool.
Sunday was spent down at the harbour & then onto the Nou Camp to see Barca Vs Getafe (1-1).
The flight back included 18 subdued boys & a million noisy Spanish school kids - Gracias!
