Gullivers representatives at the Spanish Grand Prix

    I would say one of the best Grands Prix I’ve attended since being at Gullivers. Barcelona is a beautiful city with plenty of tapas restaurants, beaches and great weather.

    Our first evening was a chance to meet some of our fellow travellers at our drinks function, discuss the season so far and answer any questions about the local areas.

    With the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya only 30 minutes away, our group had a short 30-minute transfer from their hotels into the circuit. The hotels we offered for this weekend ranged from the 3* options in the city to the Hilton Diagonal Mar near the beach where Alonzo was spotted at a function on the Saturday evening.

    Following a relaxing evening, we were up and ready to go on Saturday morning for qualifying day.

    After a gripping qualifying battle between Mercedes and Ferarri, we transferred back to the hotel on Saturday evening safe in the knowledge that Lewis Hamilton would start on Pole the following day. With two Mercedes on one side of the track and two Ferraris on the other, we were excited for what Sunday would bring.

    Waking up on Sunday morning there was a distinct buzz in the air when we were transferring our clients to the circuit. After parking a short walk from the circuit, we made our way through the bustling crowd up to the entrance. It’s safe to say Alonso fans were ready for an exciting race.

    Having taken our seats in the beautiful sun shine, we saw Lewis lose advantage of pole position by the first corner as Vettel took the inside. Following a change to soft tyres, Lewis managed to take pole position and win the race, much to the delight of the Gullivers staff!

    After what can only be described as a brilliant and exciting day, we made our way back to the coaches with our clients and heading to the hotels for a well-deserved rest. Sunday evening consisted of a huge amount of tapas enjoyed by all of the Gullivers staff with some chat about the day's events.
