Mostly on time, all the planes and trains departed from 30 different locations towards Seville. It was quite exciting, so many different departures, but everyone landed safely and on time in Spain! Once arrived at Seville airport, depending on their arrival time, a transfer to the hotel was ready for everyone. For this anniversary trip, the luxury chosen was Eurostars Torre Sevilla hotel<\/a>. This 180-metre-high circular tower is the highest skyscraper in Andalusia and offers breathtaking views of the city.<\/p>\n The first evening kicked off with a joint welcome cocktail dinner. The restaurant for this evening features a stunning courtyard where typical Spanish tapas were served. It was a \u2018walking dinner\u2019, making it ideal for getting to know each other (better) in a somewhat more informal setting. The successful evening was continued by some into the early hours in the vibrant Seville nightlife.<\/p>\n After a delicious, hearty breakfast, everyone was expected in the \u2018Alameda\u2019 meeting room on the 19the<\/sup> hotel floor. Several speakers passed by, including Sirous Kavehercy. He was specially flown in to take everyone on a journey through the world of technology, culture and communication in an interesting way, featuring many personal anecdotes. Naturally, interesting statistics and the company's future outlook were also shared. Meanwhile, Nadia and I were on our way to the lunch venue for a final check.<\/p>\n After an interesting morning, it was time for everyone to put on a casual outfit, as a sporty afternoon was on the agenda. Before leaving, the group was brought together to take a group photo. Capturing moments together!<\/em> Subsequently, a group walk was taken to the restaurant RICO Rinconete and Cortadillo<\/a> for a delicious sharing lunch. During lunch, Nadia and I checked whether all the bikes were ready and whether the six guides were bursting with enthusiasm and raring to go. After lunch, a two-hour bike tour was scheduled. Everyone was divided into smaller groups, each with their own guide. In this way, the highlights of the city were admired accompanied by interesting background information, with a refreshing drink together along the way. After the bike tour, there was still a little time to explore the city independently, before the fantastic evening programme got underway.<\/p>\n Guests gathered in the lobby and everyone looked wonderfully dressed for the occasion. Two coaches took the group to the dinner and party venue in about 10 minutes, namely the well-known \u2018Metropol Parasol\u2019. The tables were beautifully laid and the company logo could be seen in various ways. Using a numerical table seating arrangement, people from different departments and various countries were mixed together. After a delicious 3-course dinner, it was time for the spectacular light show. Once back from the light show, it was time for a roaring party accompanied by drinks, snacks and a DJ playing the best hits. The buses made return trips at two different times, with the vast majority choosing the later bus. \ud83d\ude09 A small group continued the evening in the city centre.<\/p>\n Since many different flights and trains had been booked, at various times throughout the day, not everyone was able to participate in the entire travel programme. The morning was therefore dedicated to three different activities, which everyone had been able to sign up for in advance. The first optional activity was \u2018Roofs of the Cathedral\u2019, a unique experience where all the ins and outs of the cathedral's roofs were shown. For instance, a walk was taken across the roofs and, as an extra treat, participants could enjoy the panoramic view over Seville: breathtaking!<\/p>\n The second optional activity was a visit to \u2018The Real Alcazar de Seville\u2019. A wonderful insight into the buildings and gardens, a perfect combination of history, architecture, art and culture.<\/p>\n The final choice activity was a sporty SUP tour. Split into three smaller groups, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the sunny weather on the water. The trick here is to keep your balance well on the paddleboard. With the remaining participants, things were wrapped up with a delicious traditional Spanish tapas lunch in the lively Triana district, by the Guadalquivir river. Here, the menu consisted of Jam\u00f3n Ib\u00e9rico, Salmorejo, tuna tartare and fish croquettes, among other things.<\/p>\n Thus came an end to this unforgettable anniversary trip with a fantastic international group. Both the participants and ourselves thoroughly enjoyed it and look back on this trip with a big smile.
