So in<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">2011-2012 I was doing my 3rd year of STAPS Sports Management on the campus of the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF CATALONIA (INEFC).<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Not easy to quickly become familiar with Catalan (and Spanish por supuesto), especially in Sports Law for example \ud83d\ude42 but what an accomplishment to live an intense year, rich in encounters and discoveries&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Discovery of Spanish Sport, a country where the practice of sport is in my opinion much more democratized than in France, rooted in the life of the Spaniards and this from an early age.<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">For example, a school child begins at age 3 to play sports at school in the form of sessions on motor skills courses. These workshops therefore allow him very quickly<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">to apprehend his body and to develop rapidly in order to explore the world around him.<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">It is also very common in Spain for a child to practice two different sports&#8230; like Rafael Nadal (himself) who until he was 10 years old was as good a tennis player as&#8230; a footballer,<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">imagine!<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">This philosophy of sport, of the cult of sport, of the passion for sport therefore makes Spain a land of sporting practice of reference in Europe.<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">It was there that I discovered Rink Hockey (hockey patinas) which is an incredible sport, ultra fast which is played with a wooden stick, a hard ball and quad skates on the<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">feet &#8230; a little the meeting of inline hockey, ice hockey and field hockey. Enormous !<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">But I also and above all discovered a great sport there, which I immediately tried &#8230; a compromise between tennis and squash, which is played with 4 players, most of the time outdoors in<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Spain. This sport attracts crowds on the grounds: <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>padel!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">So you understand here why I decided from the creation of La Toupie Bleue to become the first European Tour Operator \/ Receptive to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latoupiebleue.com\/en\/thematique\/padel-moments\/\">trips around Padel.<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Sport highly developed in South America and Spain, this young sport attracts new followers, new families, new groups of friends year after year!<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">This sport has an Olympic dream and it is not the growing number of its practitioners at the international level that could prevent it. France &amp; Belgium are following in the footsteps of Italy, Portugal and<\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Sweden, which have identified all the challenges of the rise of this sport: fun, easily accessible but above all terribly addictive!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The Barcelona of 2011 is no longer the Barcelona of 2021, mass tourism having been widely criticized and singled out over the past three years (cruises, too many motorists, overcrowding of accommodation, etc.).<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But believe me, I will continue (in small groups) to introduce you to the city I fell in love with and which has given me so much: two great friends, a new language in my bow, a multiplied joie de vivre<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">and a desire focused on discovery and experimentation!<\/span><\/strong><\/span> <span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">The COVID has been there, but I will soon make you enjoy an authentic Barcelona, with a different vision than the one you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">So, when are we going to Barna?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"col-xs-offset-top-1\">Remi &#x1f609;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s been 10 years since I discovered BARCELONA for the first time , an exceptional Olympic city that was going to welcome me as part of the ERASMUS programme.
