Youth Hostel Network of Catalonia XANASCAT

If you are young and you like travel around the world, maybe you have heart about this different kind of accommodation called Youth Hostel.

I want to share my personal experience to let you know why I think that is better to stay in a hostel than staying at a hotel or another kind of accommodation, because a youth hostel is more than just a kind of accommodation:
My first experience in a Youth hostel was several years ago, (better a lot of years ago!!), actually I can't remember it clearly, because it was when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old and it was with school. We went to Canyamars a little town in Catalonia which has a beautiful old contryside building not a long trip from my hometown where the school was. I can remember that we spent three great days there, two nights and it was really fantastic. We discover nature, we knew a little bit more our classmates, we learn to play different games, we learn from nature and for nature.

My second experience was in my "scout time", when I was maybe around 14 o 15. We went to El Masnou Youth hostel, we spend there just a weekend and we share our time, we play...

And I have had several experiences more in different Catalan Youth hostels, sharing with friends, workmates etc.

With all this I would like to say that if you choose Youth hostels, you have opportunities that you will never have in another kind of accommodation, for example: You can share your room with other people from different countries, meet new people, share information with them and you can even make friends!

For all this reasons I would like to recommend you Youth Hostel Network that I know the most which is: CATALONIA YOUTH HOSTEL NETWORK: XANASCAT.
