Land Rovery Party 2010 - Les Comes, Barcelona
Last weekend (2-3/10/10) was the Land Rovery Party 2010 in the Les Comes estate close to Barcelona.
This is the 4th annual event held here and was simply fantastic. Les Comes is now also home to the only Land Rover Experience centre in the Iberian Peninsular and every year seems to bring new and better things.
Here's some photos of the event. Around 40 D3s from the spanish D3 forum attended the event from a total of 1,400 people and some 500+ Land Rovers.
The Les Comes estate covers a HUGE area and is private. This is the main base at the centre together with the kiddies play area (there was also a "high-rope" adventure course and 150m cable slide):

We stopped for a beer and soon make an impromptu D3 parking area all of our own:

Lots of well prepared expedition LRs and some nice mud-pluggers:

A LR Experience 110 was on hand to help drag people when they got stuck:

As is usually the case, you come home with hundreds of photos of everything but your own D3 so whilst waiting for the others to catch up, I decided to get a bit arty with my own D3

Dunc - I'll have a word with the organisers and the other 1399 people and see if they don't mind bringing the event forward a whole six months - I'm sure they won't mind 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Although Les Comes is a private estate (and indeed is the home of LRE here in Spain/Portugal), the Land Rover Party is a public event...
Anyone can attend, but only Land Rovers are allowed on the tracks and so on.....all other vehicles have to park in the sin bin 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
