The experience will take place in the town of Teruel because it is located halfway between Madrid and Barcelona, and will be inspired by professional footballers’ routines before a major match. Participants will share a face-to-face talk with the two former players, enjoy balanced meals, take part in a light training session and have time to recover, as well as stay for two nights in rural accommodation.
Travelers will reach the town by bus, as professional teams do, be welcomed in person by Jordi Alba and Guti, and receive VIP tickets to attend the Madrid-Barcelona match taking place in the Catalan capital on October 25. The proposal is designed for two travelers, who will each be able to invite four companions, and will be completely free of charge, including activities, meals, two nights of shared accommodation in Puertomingalvo and round-trip bus transportation from Madrid or Barcelona.

The stay will also allow participants to discover Puertomingalvo and its surroundings. The program includes a guided tour of the historic center, a stop at the village bar and visits to local businesses, such as the bakery and several artisan workshops. The experience will conclude with a hiking route, with the possibility of picking mushrooms if luck allows, a deeply rooted autumn tradition in the region.
THE HOSTS' WORDS
"The days leading up to El Clásico are different from any other time of the season. They are days to focus, prepare and spend time with your teammates before one of the most important matches of the year. I am very excited to bring this side of football closer to fans and experience it alongside them as they discover such a special place as Puertomingalvo," Jordi Alba said.
"El Clásico is played with enormous rivalry, but also with deep respect and the passion we share for football. This experience will bring fans of both teams together to relive some of the match's most unforgettable moments, share stories and enjoy everything that happens before kickoff in a different way," Guti said of an event for which booking requests can be submitted starting October 13 at 2:00 p.m., with places assigned in the order requests are received.
