Why choose Cooltourspain for a team building while in Barcelona?

We are passionate about what we do. We quit our office jobs years ago, in order to dedicate our daily life to treat with international visitors, in both a street art and food context. Our team building in Barcelona ensures that participants are not only having fun, but also learning about the significance of the activities with which they will discover the city in an alternative way.

Our experiences are fully customizable, and we count with a large number of professionals, so don’t worry about the event’s size.

Authentic and creative experiences

Unlike any other typical team building in Barcelona that could often feel formulaic or disconnected from what participants expect, Cooltourspain specializes in offering alternative and off the beaten experiences that connect teams to the local culture. A group of professionals integrate art, history, and innovation into their corporate events, creating ideas that are both engaging and fun.

From graffiti workshops to street art tours, each experience is designed to help teams tap into their creativity, foster collaboration, and develop problem-solving skills.

Please note that the majority of the activities usually take about two hours to be developed, although they could last as much as your needs require. They are tailor-made and quotes are offered within the next 24 hours, after receiving your request. You can contact us via whatsapp/phone call at +34638399784, or via email to info@cooltourspain.com

Local experts and engaging guides for the team building in Barcelona

When you book a teambuilding in Barcelona, your expectations will be according to what you have paid. With us, you’ll be guided by passionate, local experts who know the city inside and out. These guides are not only knowledgeable about the history of street art, the city’s cultural significance, and its urban development, but they also bring enthusiasm and energy to the activities.

With a deep understanding of Barcelona’s art scene, they ensure that the experience is not only enjoyable but also insightful. Similarly, workshop leaders know how making a person that has never touched a spray can in his/her life, fully commited to what the activity demands. From the very begining, to the end.

Focus on collaboration and communication

Each of our team buildings in Barcelona emphasizes teamwork, communicative skills, and collaboration between team members. Whether you’re working together to create a group mural or navigating the streets of Barcelona while solving challenges, the activities enhance interpersonal skills, foster creativity, and improve problem-solving abilities—crucial traits for a high-performing team.

We know that each team has its own needs and goals. Along the years, we’ve worked with small teams looking for a creative outlet, and large corporate groups seeking to improve communication and trust. While working with the latter options, we offer several activities so that participants may sign up to the ones that they like the most. The activities are flexible and can be tailored to fit the size of the team, desired outcome, and overall corporate culture.

What are the different options available for a team building in Barcelona?

Our pioneering project offers diverse ideas for teambuilding activities in Barcelona, each focused on creativity, collaboration, and cultural immersion. Below, we dive deeper into some of the most popular options available for companies and event agencies seeking a fun, innovative, and impactful experience.

For your information, the largest event we have hosted so far was for 240 participants at the same time. It was a challenge, and the overall outcome was very positive. Reviews from both the agency and the final customer created an impact in our way of producing events. In this sense, more than 8 professionals were involved in the leading tasks, as well as the coordinating part.

You should take into consideration that we work with a rate of 1 guide per every 20 participants who join a guided visit, while we reduce the rate for guests at workshops, to a number of 1 workshop leader for every 12-15 guests.

1-. Graffiti workshop: create a mural together

Since the very first moment when we opened up the business in Catalonia, this has been one of Cooltourspain’s most popular team building in Barcelona. Why? It was mainly because we targeted the right keywords, and if your searched online, it received great visibility.

This activity is perfect for companies looking to foster creativity, collaboration, and communication while diving into the world of urban art. Teams work together to create a large mural using spray paint, learning about graffiti techniques and the history behind street art.

Key Benefits:

• Creativity Boost: Teams get the chance to express their ideas, values, and company culture through artwork. It’s true that we could provide a design before hand, but we always encourage the team to create their own sketch.
• Collaboration: Creating a mural together encourages people to talk, requiring teams to work in unison to design and execute a cohesive piece of art. FYI, an instructor will always be present to act as the activities’ director
• Inspiration: Graffiti workshops in Barcelona are not only about painting but also about drawing inspiration from the city’s vibrant street art culture, making the activity both educational and fun. Why don’t you add images or figures that you have seen during the street art tour?

Expert graffiti artists will guide teams through the creative process. Participants will learn about stencils, freehand spray painting, layering techniques, and the importance of color and composition. At the end of the session, teams walk away with a tangible, collaborative piece of art that symbolizes their teamwork.

Ideal For:

• Small and large teams from banking, tech commpanies, and other industries.
• Creative companies or those wanting to boost innovation in their daily tasks.
• Businesses looking for an activity that combines fun and purpose

2-. Adding a street art tour will allow participants, who join your team building in Barcelona, discover the city in a different way

For teams who enjoy exploring the city while learning about its culture, the street art tour is a unique idea for a team building in Barcelona. Neighborhoods, such as El Raval or Poble Nou, are known for their colorful street art murals, vibrant graffiti, and unique stencils. At the same time, visitors don’t frequently go there on their own, so we will show them areas of the city that won’t be discovered otherwise.

The alternative guided visit provides teams with the opportunity to not only see but also understand the significance of urban art in the city, in a sustainable and a socially responsible way.

Key Benefits:

• Cultural exploration: Teams will learn about the history of street art in Barcelona and its evolution from underground culture to mainstream art.
• Inspiration and reflection: As teams explore different legal urban art murals and illegal graffiti, they can reflect on the themes and messages in the artwork, drawing inspiration for their own projects.
• Communication: The activity encourages open discussion and engagement as participants share their thoughts and observations about the art they encounter. This is not a one direction speech. On the other hand, we ask many questions.

The street art tour is perfect for teams that want to explore Barcelona in a unique way. Your guide will share fascinating insider stories about the artists behind the murals and their messages, allowing your team to gain new insights into the city’s artistic scene.

Ideal For

• Teams seeking an activity that combines walking, learning, and discussing
• Yound adults (visitors) looking for an experience, rather than just a guided visit in Barcelona
• Companies interested in sharing the cultural and social aspects in Catalonia

3-. Tapas and urban art challenge around Gotic and Born districts

Companies interested in adding an element of competition to a team building in Barcelona, street art and food might be an excellent option. In this challenge, also known as a scavenger hunt, teams are given a series of creative tasks related to the graffiti community, such as designing stencils at a graffiti store, or solving gastronomy puzzles at local food markets.

The goal is to complete all the tasks in the most creative and efficient way possible, and the team who does it faster and more efficiently, will receive a prize.

Key Benefits:

• Problem solving: Teams must collaborate and think outside the box to solve the challenges, encouraging creativity and problem-solving skills. You will receive a colored 7 pages booklet with questions, and directions. Each team will count with a leader from our side to help answering questions on this scavenger hunt.
• Team engagement: The challenge aspect encourages everyone to contribute, ensuring that all team members are actively involved.
• Fun and competitive: This is a high-energy activity that adds excitement to the day, with the opportunity for teams to compete and win.

During the artistic challenge, there will be time to unwind and refuel with a tapas and drinks through Barcelona’s alternative culinary hotspots. This part of the experience provides a chance to relax, socialize, and enjoy some of Spain’s most beloved dishes. We typically stop at Mercat Santa Caterina, which represents the completely opposite idea of La Boqueria market.

• Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with spicy sauce)
• Jamón ibérico
• Tortilla española
• Pimientos de Padrón
• Pa amb tomàquet

4-. Ebike Tour for a panoramic view of the city

If your team enjoys outdoor activities and exploring the city in a more active way, the ebike tour might be a fantastic idea for a team building in Barcelona. The guided visit will take teams through some of Barcelona’s most iconic and off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods to explore its incredible street art scene.

Meeting point is located by the entrance of FNAC store in Plaça Catalunya.

Key Benefits:

• Active and engaging: This is an excellent way for teams to get some exercise while exploring more areas than just a walking tour.
• Cultural immersion: As teams cycle through neighborhoods, they’ll not only enjoy the street art but also learn about Barcelona’s history, architecture, and culture. We plan on making several stops on the way, including Jardin Tres Chimeneis or Plaça Terenci Moix.
• Tailor made activity: The city council restricts biking in the city center, with groups. Limit of 10 participants per guide.
