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.
The Youth Hostel Network of Catalonia (XANASCAT) offers you 46 hostels distributed around coastal and inland areas, on mountains and plains, in places of natural and cultural interest.
Furthermore, XANASCAT Youth Hostel Network of Catalonia has its own social mission and they host all kind of activities programs special for young people, schoolchildren, non-profit organizations and families; such us:
Activities Programmes:
A set of programmes aimed to encourage practice of sports, the discovery of the natural and cultural environment of the country and learning with other young people.
Goal is to discover a country through Sports, nature and sharing time with people.
So, summarizing:
Let’s make sport!
Let’s discover the nature!
Let’s learn a little bit more!
Let's XANASCAT! =)
