My friends are basically scattered in different places and often I get to catch up with them whenever I’m traveling for a writing assignment. I just came from a dinner and coffee with former college dorm mates and we talked more about travel specifically the new trends. One of them is pub crawling.
What is pub crawling?
Well, it is like bar hopping. Spending the night, drinking in one pub to another. It is common in Europe. I did a little bit of research and I found out that it is in fact a tradition in Europe. Nice to know that it is more than just drinking and spending time in a city’s top bars and pub. In Europe, it is a practice to welcome visiting tourists and new expats. What other way to welcome new people that drinks right?
Pub crawling in the travel industry..
If you are with the travel industry or a frequent traveler, you may have been familiarized with different kinds of tours – food tours, walking tours, wellness tours, etc. Do you know that public crawling is a new “trend” in travel? Now, you can experience pub crawling as part of a tour group.
While digging for more information about pub crawling, I found out where pub crawling is offered as a travel activity. One of them is Barcelona, one of the cities that I want to visit.
It doesn’t surprise me anymore if pub crawl barcelona is happening right now. This tradition has been prevalent in Spain that started solely for men and then extended to women. To be honest, I would sign up right away for this kind of tour!
I saw one provider of a pub crawl barcelona and the tour is quite affordable. You get to drink top Spanish drinks like Sangria as well as tapas – truly still in tune to Spanish experience. These tours also give you easy access to Barcelona’s top bars and pubs.
Lastly, joining these tours is great if you are concern of your safety. Meeting new people or just the thought of pub crawling in a new city while traveling demands some courage I guess; but with these tours, I think I’ll be on safe hands!
Isn’t it amazing how travel keeps on evolving? I love the idea of pub crawling, I think it is brilliant and a fun way to meet new people, enjoying nightlife and dining scene while you travel.
