Happy Birthday, Dragon City!

Last Friday we all shared a toast in the office to celebrate Dragon City’s first birthday! All of us, more than 140 socialpointers, gathered around a special cake decorated with Dragon City motifs.
Our CEO Andrés Bou gave an encouraging speech and congratulated all of us for putting so much effort in the game. Thanks to our hard work and dedication, Dragon City has become one of the most important games on Facebook.
Celebrating our hard work and good results while eating a piece of a delicious cake was a nice way to start the weekend.

Busy Wednesday

Yesterday a lot of things happened related to Social Point.
Starting with our Artist Jordi Villaverde who went to the school Milagros Consarnau (Hospitalet de Llobregat) and taught to 50 children how he usually illustrates books. He talked about one of his books “La Cova” and he drew the main characters and one large dragon. Children had a really great time asking questions and watching how he amazingly draws. When he finished the demo, he signed 50 books for them. It was an experience that they won’t forget for a long time!

Socialpointers at Barcelona’s Marathon

Yesterday March 17 was the Marathon of Barcelona. Despite of the rain, 18.000 runners attended the appointment and they made of the marathon a great success. The race was celebrated for the first time in 1978 and originally it was called Marató of Catalunya.
This year the winners are two Ethiopians (2:10:17h and 2:34:39h) and some Socialpointers had the courage to run all the way through until the goal! Even though none of them won the race, they had the chance to spend a lovely morning in the streets of this beautiful city. They are for sure an example of perseverance and inner strength that most of us would like to have. Congratulations!

Calçotada and beyond!

Last Friday we all went to Gavà, a municipality in Barcelona Province, to have lunch and eat the popular Catalan vegetables called calçots. These are a type of scallion or green onions typically grilled and dipped in Romesco Sauce.
We left the office and three buses were waiting for us at the entry. As we drove to the restaurant people started thinking about the great mouth watering delicacy that was awaiting us. Our stomachs began to growl.
Finally we arrived to the place and we got charmed by the beauty of the spectacular landscape with a Mediterranean sea horizon and the mountains of the Garraf coast.
Everything was ready, tons of tables were set and the air was filled with calçots smell. We gathered around the tables and while we were waiting for food, some people were teaching to amateurs about how to peel a calçot. Thank God, the food started to arrive and we devoured it as if we were beasts.
