Barcelona Weekend: sea, Gaudí, and Catalan fiesta

This trip starts in Barcelona. On the first day, we’ll meet at 15:00.

Your Group Leader will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
 It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have.

This trip ends in Barcelona. The trip officially ends at 14:00 on the last day, so we recommend planning your return transfers accordingly. For example:

• if you need to book a flight, consider the time needed to reach the airport and complete check-in procedures;

• if you need to book a train or continue your journey independently, consider the time required to reach the station or your next destination.

 If you have any doubts, you can contact the coordinator assigned to your departure for advice.

For this itinerary, you can choose the type of luggage you prefer – we always recommend a backpack, but you can also travel with a duffel bag, a holdall, or (it breaks our heart to say it) a cabin trolley case or a checked suitcase, as long as it’s moderate in size. Our Group Leader will suggest the ideal luggage before departure in the WhatsApp group!

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

You cannot switch to sold-out trips. For “On request” departures, we will check availability. For “Last spots” departures, availability in rooms of your same gender may not be guaranteed.
If there is a price adjustment: if the new trip costs less, we will refund the difference; if it costs more, you will need to pay the difference.

In some cases – for example when a departure is not yet confirmed and it is your first unconfirmed booking – you can book without paying the €/£/$100 deposit upfront.

This means that you can secure your spot at zero cost: nothing will be charged until the departure is confirmed. Once the departure is confirmed, the €/£/$100 deposit will be automatically charged within 48 hours according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.

Yes, but fees are non-refundable. If your plans change, you can modify your trip free of charge up to 31 days before departure.

Yes! We might not know the flights for everyone else in the group, but there are ways to find out which flights your fellow WeRoaders will be taking.

2. Alternatively you can join our Facebook group: Solo Travellers | WeRoad Community – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963298767843213 ) Look for a post about the trip you’re interested in or ask the group admin for help in getting in touch with your future travel companions!

3. If the Group Leader has already been assigned to the trip you’re keen for, you can easily find their Facebook post on the website. 

If a departure is “Open to book”, it means that the trip is not yet confirmed and we are waiting for a few more bookings… maybe yours!

The good news? If it’s your first booking on an unconfirmed departure, you can book without paying anything! Just. leave your credit card details as a guarantee: no immediate charge, €/£/$0 deposit.
In the meantime, wait for the departure to be confirmed before purchasing your round-trip flights!

Generally, our groups have an average of 11 people. Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to travelers between 18 and 49 years old. The indicated age is meant to give you an idea of the type of group, but it's not a strict limit: it's possible to participate even with a few years more or less, as long as you can keep up with the pace and energy of the group you're traveling with.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Group Leaders, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700. 

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

The WeRoad Travel Group Leader is an experienced and skilled traveler who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Group Leader will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Group Leader assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here. 

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travelers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to stay in a mixed-gender room. If needed, only travelers who have opted in to this option may share a room with travel companions of a different gender.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travelers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email hello@weroad.com if you have a preference on this.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Spain – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

• Other residents: refer to your government or local consulate's travel advice.

Spain mainly operates on Central European Time (CET), which is UTC+1. During daylight saving time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, it switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.

If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 1pm in Spain during CET and 2pm during CEST.

Keep in mind that the Canary Islands follow Western European Time (WET), which is UTC+0, and Western European Summer Time (WEST), which is UTC+1 during daylight saving time.

Spain uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but as a rough guide:

• 1 GBP is about 1.15 EUR
• 1 USD is about 0.95 EUR
• 1 EUR is roughly 1 EUR

You can exchange currency at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels. It's also convenient to withdraw Euros directly from ATMs using your debit or credit card.

In Spain you can pay using cash, credit cards, or debit cards. Most places accept major credit cards like Visa and Mastercard. It's a good idea to have some cash on hand for smaller businesses, markets, or in rural areas where card payments might not be accepted. 

ATMs are widely available for withdrawing cash if needed. Keep in mind that American Express may not be accepted everywhere, so it's better to have an alternative card as a backup.

Tipping in Spain is not mandatory, but it is appreciated for good service.

• In restaurants, it is common to leave a small tip of around 5 to 10 percent of the bill.
• In cafes and bars, you can leave some small change.
• For taxis, rounding up to the nearest euro is a nice gesture.
• Hotel staff, like bellhops and housekeepers, also appreciate a small tip for their services.

Remember, tipping is not expected but always welcomed.

In Spain, the internet is generally reliable and Wi-Fi is widely available in most urban areas, hotels, cafes, and restaurants. If you're traveling from Europe or the Schengen area, you can use roaming services, which means you won't need to buy a local SIM card for data use. However, if you're coming from outside Europe and want to ensure a stable connection, consider buying a local SIM or an e-SIM data plan. Popular providers include:

• Movistar
• Vodafone
• Orange

Wi-Fi is usually free in public places, but speeds can vary, so having mobile data as a backup is a good idea.

In Spain, the primary language spoken is Spanish, also known as Castilian. However, you might also encounter regional languages like Catalan, Galician, and Basque. Here are some useful Spanish expressions you might hear or use:

• Hello - Hola
• Thank you - Gracias
• Please - Por favor
• Excuse me - Perdón
• How much is it? - ¿Cuánto cuesta?

Being familiar with these can make your interactions smoother and more enjoyable.

In Spain, you'll find Type C and Type F plugs. The voltage is 230V and the frequency is 50Hz. If you're coming from a country that uses different plug types, like the UK or the USA, it's a good idea to bring a universal adapter to ensure your devices can be charged without any issues.

The main religion in Spain is Roman Catholicism. Catholic traditions play a significant role in Spanish culture, and many public holidays are religious, such as Easter and Christmas. Major celebrations like Semana Santa (Holy Week) feature processions and events throughout the country. While the majority identify as Catholic, Spain is quite secular, and other religions are practiced as well. Dress is generally casual, but if visiting religious sites, it's respectful to cover shoulders and knees.

Spain offers a diverse climate, so packing wisely will ensure you're prepared for any adventure. 
Here's what you should include in your backpack for Spain:

• Clothing
  Lightweight shirts and shorts for hot days
  Long pants and a light jacket for cooler evenings
  Swimwear for the beaches
  A scarf or shawl for visiting religious sites
• Shoes
  Comfortable walking shoes for city exploration
  Sandals or flip-flops for the beach
  Dress shoes if you plan on dining out
• Accessories and Technology
  Sunglasses and a hat to protect from the sun
  A reusable water bottle
  A power bank and smartphone
  A universal adapter for charging electronics
• Toiletries and Medication
  - Sunscreen and lip balm
  - Basic toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant
  - Common travel medication like ibuprofen, antihistamines, and motion sickness tablets

Spain's weather can vary greatly depending on the region, so here's a quick breakdown:

• Northern Spain: Expect cooler, wetter weather, especially in regions like Galicia and the Basque Country. Summers are mild, with temperatures around 20-25°C.
• Central Spain: In cities like Madrid, summers are hot and dry, often reaching 30-40°C. Winters can be chilly with temperatures around 5-10°C.
• Southern Spain: Areas like Andalusia enjoy hot summers, with temperatures often above 30°C. Winters are mild, around 10-15°C.
