Hola Readers!

In this blog you will experience the sights and sounds of the Spanish culture (and soccer, of course!) from multiple members of the Garnet women's soccer team. We plan to post daily, so check often!  On August 7, the Swarthmore College women's soccer team will embark on an 11-day trip to Spain for preseason training with extended stays in both Barcelona and Madrid.

In addition to training sessions and friendly competition, we will tour the beautiful city of Barcelona - Sagrada Familia Church, Gaudi Mosaic Guell Park (pictured below) and the FC Barcelona Camp Nou are among the main attractions. A day trip to the resort town of Sitges for shopping and beach time will conclude the first half of the journey.



Once in Madrid, the team will enjoy a tour of the Real Madrid Estadio Bernabeu followed by sightseeing throughout the city and a visit to Toledo (pictured below), a city located southwest of Madrid.


We hope you enjoy living vicariously through our adventure in Spain!
