Strengthen team spirit, develop communication skills, increase trust and commitment among colleagues ... all these aspects are increasingly important within companies; Therefore, many decide to organize team building activities in Asturias. This destination is considered as one of the most complete in the Spanish geography for this type of actions.

This "tierrina", as the locals say, has everything: sea, mountains, gastronomy, culture ... And for that reason, the range of possibilities when choosing activities (especially in sports) is very wide.

But first of all ...

What is team building?

In case you´re not yet completely familiar with this concept, team building consists of organizing activities or dynamics with the aim of creating links between the members of a team so that, later on, when working together, they are more coordinated and are more efficient.

Team building activities can vary: from competitive sports, activities related to logic or ingenuity, motivational talks, solidarity actions ... The important thing is for your people to work together (or in teams) and have a common goal.

Which are the main benefits of team building? The main one is that it increases the ability to work as a team and, therefore, enhance productivity; but there are also improvements focused in the communication skills of all members, in the cohesion of the teams, in well-being and motivation of people and in the commitment to the company. Therefore, team building is undoubtedly a most interesting resource for any company or business.

Why organizing team building activities in Asturias?

Although it is not a fundamental requirement, leaving the environment in which the company's activities usually take place helps to disconnect and increases the interest of employees in the team building activity. Therefore, if possible, try to organize the session outside your city. 

If conditions allow it, don´t hesitate: choose Asturias. This corner in the north of the peninsula has a lot to offer and will allow you to organize all kinds of interesting, fun and educational activities.

For example:

Mountain bike racing: Asturias is a wonderful destination for lovers of two wheels. You can organize a mountain bike race by teams, relays ... suitable for all levels.

Crowning a peak: another of the great attractions of Asturias is the amount of hiking and mountain routes that exist. Why don't you aim to crown one of its many peaks, together?

Making cheese: did you know that there are 42 different varieties of cheese in Asturias? Learn their elaboration process and, together, prepare your own Asturian cheese.

Cultural Gymkhana: both Gijón and Oviedo are cities with a great history behind them. You can organize a small Gymkhana by teams that allows you to discover some of these places.
