Press Release Summary = Stags and hens from the UK and Ireland enter the European
continent and Barcelona, Spain in particular. Searching for an unforgettable last
time as a bachelor they want to party among best friends doing several different
activities.

Press Release Body = Barcelona already offers a lot to the most different tourists.
Whether they are interested in arts, sports or simply want to spend their time
shopping or enjoying the sun. However, there is also an increasing group of visitors
called stags and hens (UK and Ireland) or bucks (Australia), who spend their "last
night of freedom" in the city. This new way of celebrating his/her farewell to the
unmarried society and announcing his/her status as being promised to someone is
getting highly popular. Especially the English people seem to travel a lot in order
to enjoy this last opportunity and to have a hilarious, unforgettable time among
their friends.


Groups of 4-15 people are now searching for new adventures and Barcelona is the
right place to be. Known as one of the hippest places in Europe and worldwide, the
Catalan city stands for a unique town charakter with its arts and arquitecture, its
modern lifestyle, the sunny beaches and a neverending nightlife; perfect conditions
to stay on short-term in order to enjoy an unbelievable time with the best friends.
Staying together in an apartment instead of searching for some hotel rooms which are
close to each other is probably the best solution for these groups. Therefore,
services like e.g. www.oh-barcelona.com could be used in place. They offer a wide
range of either luxury studios, high-class apartments or satisfying basic
accommodation in different districts. Thus, offering you to start your activities
from the ideal initial point. Of course, this starting point depends on the groups\'
activities as they search for very different opportunities among them paintballing,
karting, golf, sightseeing, nightlife and much more. In particular, paintballing is
highly popular where groups spend a day in an especially-constructed park chasing
each other with paintball-shooting guns . After this exhausting but hilarious
battle, several restaurants in the city-center invite to taste the Catalan cuisine
or a traditional Spanish paella, have a glass of the regional wine and launch the
terrific nightlife in one of the various clubs of Barcelona. Having had a night-out,
stags and hens can go to the spa the next morning in order to relax and recover for
another exciting day in the city. They could use the opportunity to be in Barcelona
and visit some of the most important attractions like the Parc Guell, the Sagrada
Familia or the Cathedral. After some sightseeing, it is worth watching a match of
the famous FC Barcelona in an amazing atmosphere at the Camp Nou. Nearly 100.000
fans will be cheering the match with some of the most technical players in the world
like Ronaldinho, Eto\'o or Deco. Celebrating this unique experience, it is time again
to enter the clubs in the different districts of Barcelona. However, visitors should
remember that the Spanish nightlife starts later and clubs like the Razzmatazz are
opened until 8 o\'clock in the morning. Bachelors who tend to prefer a more tranquil
stay in Barcelona are highly recommended to extend their cultural visits to museums
such as the MACBA or the Mueso Picasso. Furthermore, they should visit the Tibidabo
and enjoy the tremendous panoramic view of the whole city. However, these visits
should avoid the high-season in summer because temperatures will rise up to 40° C.
Therefore, planning a trip in June, July or August suggests going to the beach and
enjoying the nights and festivals such as the Sonar Festival in June, 15th to 17th.


Even if this way of celebrating the bachelor\'s life maybe new and strange to some
people, it offers the possibility to have an unforgettable, melancholic and funny
time. Bachelors can organize their weekend however and wherever they want to and it
can be seen as an alternative to having a night-out in a familiar surrounding.
Still, they should be aware that they focus on partying with their friends and that
they resist the manifold temptations as honeymoon will be soon afterwards.
