Frequent flyer program Vueling

There are a lot of frequent flyer programs out there, but not so many for low budget airlines. Vueling thereby has a program called Punto. And like other frequent flyer programs you will receive points which can be exchanged into free flights.

You will receive 1 point by booking and purchasing a flight for every €2 paid. After you collected 500 points you get a one-way ticket for free and a return ticket requires 1000 points. You will also receive points by using a gift voucher, using your Vueling Visa or by booking a car. The points will expire after three years, but if you not added any points within a year they will also expire.

So if you are a frequent flyer in Europe from or to Spain, I would consider joining the program which you can easily subscribe to online. Once you have signed up for Vueling, why not then also book your Barcelona, Rome or Paris accommodation.

Parque de la Ciutadella, in Barcelona

During the weekends families, students, couples and seniors seem to meet in the Parque de la Ciutadella in order to celebrate life. As soon as the sun comes out and it is getting warm, you can see fathers playing football with their sons, little girls running over the playground and old men playing Petanca.

Couples are lying in the grass, students sitting under the streets, presumably studying, and others juggle with pins and balls accompanied by musicians playing their instruments and singing their songs.

In a different place young people learn dancing salsa and right next to them some women gather together exchanging cooking recipes. You can also take a rowing boat enjoying the sun on the water or sit down and have a coffee watching over the events.

If you need a relaxing place in Barcelona where you can be just yourself, the Parque de la Ciutadella is the right spot for you.
