O.T. Catalans - 5th September : Mon Feb 23, 2009 5:46 pm  

If this has been asked before - apologies - I couldn't find any info.

We (Numpty and me) are hoping to spend a few days in Spain/France in September and take in the Catalans match. The Catalans tours people who advertise on here are only doing a two night trip (go Friday teatime, home Sunday lunch) which doesn't give us any time for a bit of a holiday so isn't really what we are after.
Just wondered if anyone knows of other organisers or trips? Is there one run/organised by the club?
Cheers!

Try www.cstspain.co.uk Do trips based in Callella and all transfers including taking you up to Perpignan for the game. Went last Easter with them staying in Lloret. Well organised and reasonably priced although Lloret not my "cup of tea". Don't know about Callella. red white and blue knows them very well and I'm sure she can give you some info

Don't know about Callella. red white and blue knows them very well and I'm sure she can give you some info Calella is much nicer than Lloret Sandal Cat Cstspain allow you to go for whatever length of time you wish - I always go for 8 or 9 days, whilst some just do 2 or 3 nights. You book the flights you want and they will organise accommodation, airport transfers and transfers to match. I can recommend them 100% - they are completely reliable. There were 80 or 90 Wildcats fans went with them in 2007, and the same number in 2008. If you ring and have a chat with Ian McCorquodale, who is a well known ex-player, on 0161 6275011, he will fill you in on anything you want to know (tell him Judith told you to ring). If you want to ask anything else just PM me.

Same reason as most people book package holidays when holidaying in Spain

And not too easy to get back to Spain after an 8.00 kick off in Perpignan unless you want the hassle of driving yourself, which would also work out much more costly!!

Thanks for the advice - I'm booking a few days in Calella or Lloret with CSTSpain and got flights with Ryanair from Donny to Girona.
Looking forward to a few days in the sun and a Wakey win overseas!
