Never been before so any recommendations?

On match day as Duffmqn says head for Le Grande Cafe de la Poste by the Castilet.
It's impossible to miss.

The walk from there to the ground is about 20 minutes along one straight road, after the game stay at the ground if you can because the club generally have after match BBQ and drinks available ( but not always) if they do stay back because players from both clubs join in.

I for one hope wire players don't get festive and are straight back on a plane to Blighty.

Thanks Duffman and Fatbelly.

According to Google maps Le Grande Cafe de la Poste is a 270m walk from our apartment on Rue Jean Payra, takes 4 mins, so may have to stop for a pint on the way.

Getting the Catalans Tour bus in on matchday, can't wait!!!!

Us too, Dave, see you there! Returning after a 2 year absence, cannot wait.

Not been since 2008 but I'm hopeful that next year will be the return I've been waiting for!

Re: Catalans : Wed Jul 23, 2014 6:22 pm  

are the wolves running any same day returns by coach ?
i do apologise for my humour guys but i can never resist the urge when you go over there to play them, one of your fans actually inquired a few seasons ago if this was an option

Can't wait.....

Fly out Friday morning into Barca. Straight to the castle bar and then onto the match.
No need to walk, if you speak to Dave Foti of Catalan Sports Tours he will book you a seat on a coach which turn up outside the castle bar. Think it is €6.
Fly back Sunday back into Manchester with a slightly sore head. See you all over there.

Those travel arrangements sound familiar
