Rested and keen to get to know Spain and its culture, the second day of the #LigaBBVAExperience kicked off with the fans visiting one of Donostia's most magical spots: Monte Igueldo. Some wonderful photos with incredible panoramic views over the city's bay immortalised the moment.
The fans who travelled from Turkey and various African countries explored the city's heritage in the old quarter, before sampling some traditional pintxos. The nine LaLiga fans got to enjoy the great variety offered by this delicacy, uncovering one of the Basque Country's best kept culinary secrets.

However, if there was one really special moment during the day, it was undoubtedly the tour of Anoeta stadium in the company of the club legend Mejo Kodro. The opportunity to visit the dressing rooms where the Real Sociedad and FC Barcelona players will kit themselves out on Saturday and to discover the different areas which the LaLiga stars will pass through in the moments before the game produced quite the adrenaline rush.
And their pulses really started to race when they discovered that, alongside the txuri urdines shirts, there was another set with their names printed on the back. La Real honoured each of their guests with a screen-printed team shirt, which these Liga BBVA fans will be able to pull on every time they watch the Basque club's games in the future. They will take these gifts back home, providing them with an unforgettable memento.
Accompanying a Barcelona fan club as they sang the Azulgranas anthem gave them a taste of the atmosphere which will immerse them in 24 hours' time, when this matchday's big game kicks off. A dinner with FC Barcelona fans provided the perfect end to a day packed with excitement, with the emotion set to multiply manyfold tomorrow.
