In Bilbao there are not residents, there are txikiteros. Txikiteros are names given to those who drink txikitos, small glasses of wine served in the bars.

Madrid, where everything happens, where everything begins, the capital of Spain and the place that offers you everything you can imagine. And much more.
Imagine being able to do the most fun, interesting and innovative activities you can think of surrounded by your colleagues for two days in Madrid.
OK, off the top of your head, you might think that being surrounded by colleagues for a day or two isn't such a good idea. But after doing these team building activities, even the worst person in the office will become fantastic.
In your workplace the old first names will disappear and nicknames like; the Queen of the Slide, the new Arguiñano, Speedy Gonzalez, George of the Jungle or Rambo will arrive. The reason? Keep reading and discover the best team building activities in Madrid.
The Nature part is Madrid, the Wild part is you. In the Community of Madrid you have incredible places to get lost, not literally, with your companions, doing a hiking route designed specifically for you.
If you prefer something stronger than just walks and fresh air, the solution is a multi-adventure circuit. In Madrid there are several parks where you'll feel like a real Tarzan; zip-lines, tree-climbing rides and other fun things that will make you have a great time.
Although if you have vertigo it may not be the best option, although there are attractions adapted for those who don't want so much adrenaline in their veins.
Going a little further in terms of the desire for adventure, and what they want is to not stop doing things and laughing, there is the possibility of making an obstacle course. There are companies that are dedicated to making inflatable attractions, Yellow Humour style, which will give rise to epic battles and battles within the team. It is a safe bet for fun and teamwork.
Taking advantage of the great outdoors, the last activity we recommend among trees for a full day of team building is paintball. It has grown in popularity and has become a hobby for many.
Paintball is also perfect for team building, coordination, communication and language skills, and for giving someone you don't like a fair shake. Paintball has it all, whichever way you look at it.
If you want to have a good time as a child, then start doing childish things. Although there are activities that are inherited from childhood and we continue them into adulthood. A good example; LEGO.
Lego Serious Play is a technique that develops skills and aptitudes such as teamwork, communication and leadership through one of the best-known games in the world.
You will have to build a specific structure following the instructions given by those in charge of the game. Each activity is personalised and has the characteristic of being half-game, half-serious, which will make you get excited and give your best, but will also make you have a great time.
One of the most popular and widely used activities on team building days are tastings. Depending on the place where they are held, the products and methods will be different.
The most common are wine tastings, cheese tastings and even different types of tapas. Although being in Madrid anything can happen, where the offer is as high as the demand. Can you imagine a tasting with the best squid sandwiches in Madrid? You'd have a great time there.
Bring out the artist in you. Don't leave your creativity only in mind-blowing presentations and incredible Excel skills. Keep developing your talent and team building day will be your springboard.
Some of the activities that are most in demand in recent times are those related to interpreting. And being in Madrid, they could not be missed. There are companies dedicated to the fictional creation of series, advertisements, plays and even choreographies.
It's an activity that involves a lot of coordination, knowing how to work in a team, and also, you have a good laugh both in the creation process and then seeing the results.
Speaking of artists, you have to try Bailaloloco. Imagine being able to walk around Madrid, listening at full volume to some really great tunes while they make you dance, sing and do more tests.
And you may ask, where is the teamwork here? The doubt is offensive, and very much so. Watching a colleague give his all in the middle of the street, listening to music that only he or she can hear, because you're wearing individual helmets with noise-cancelling technology, and then not telling the rest of the team who couldn't make it, is great teamwork.
Escape room challenges are the order of the day and are as entertaining, fun, themed and complex as you like.
A great offer in the world of leisure that has more and more followers and fans every day. It is an activity that requires all your ingenuity and teamwork, just what a company uses as fuel to keep going.
But don't just think that escape rooms exist within four walls, they have evolved to take over the whole city. Madrid is at your feet with some outdoor escape rooms.
These escape rooms mix walking through the streets of Madrid with solving mysteries, puzzles or games related to the city, usually with the use of an electronic device or even your own mobile phone.
Whether you're a fan of cooking or not, you have to recognise that you need a lot of coordination in the kitchen with someone else. If you want the recipe to progress and the dish to come out as it should, you have to understand each other perfectly.
This is what some organisations propose to companies looking for a different activity for their team building day. Cooperating with your partner to create a better dish than your rivals is full of skills that you can then apply to your day-to-day work.
After such a busy day, with so many plans and activities, you need a place to rest. And it's almost as important to get your strength back as it is not to waste time travelling around. You need good facilities and a great location.
Well, the perfect location exists; Latroupe Prado, the best hostel in Madrid. Configure the rooms as you want to create new atmospheres so that the team building day doesn't stop even at night; private or shared rooms.
Unbeatable location, unbeatable atmosphere in its common areas and bar and facilities that will make you feel at home.
