1) ESSENTIAL BARCELONA 2006
Citiskate instructors have been skating Barcelona for years and are now offering the skating public two full weekends
in Europe's year round skating city. September temperatures hover around the mid-twenties mark making this a great month to visit. The weekend also includes a Gaudi skate tour as well as a guided tour around Sitges on Sunday.
27 Oct - 2 Sep - A joint Anglo-Dutch-German weekend, with English speaking tour guides
Our trip is from Wednesday to Monday night. You can request additional nights, drop us a line. All flights must be booked by you. EasyJet and British Airways are just two carriers flying direct to Barcelona airport. Warning - prices are going up.
The trip includes the largest two Barcelona night skates; the advanced Thursday night skate and Rollerstroll-esque Barcelona FNS.
