Hola all,
I'm from Melbourne in Australia, and am staying in Barcelona for 6 weeks before I spend the rest of 2009 travelling around some of Europe, and then Central and South America. I am taking Spanish classes while I am in Barcelona, and have the afternoons and evenings free... I play a lot of European handball back at home, and I really miss it! I would love to find a female handball club to train with for the 5 more weeks that I am in Barcelona for, but am having trouble finding much information on the internet... does anyone know any intermediate level clubs I could possibly train (or even play a few games) with?! I'm 24, and have been playing handball at a reasonable level in Australia for 6 years.
Thanks so much!
Kate

Hola,
Handball is called Handbol in Catalan, which is the organising body.
This is their website, in Catalan:
And this is the contact information for a club in BCN:
ADRIANENC, HANDBOL
Adreça: AV. RAMON DE PENYAFORT, S/N
Localitat: SANT ADRIA DE BESOS
CP: 08930
Telèfon contacte : 629546982
Lloc web : http://www.santmartiadrianenc.com
Fax: 933057813
Adreça electrònica [email protected]
I have chosen that one at random as it was the first one that was in BCN, they can hopefully help you.
Failing that, type "handbol" into a google.cat search engine and click on the Federació site.
If you still have trouble, drop another note.
Cheers,
Oreneta

Thanks so much for your quick response! I will try them - it's helpful to know handball is handbol in Catalan... I had been searching using balonmano. Gracias! Kate
