About

Hi there… we are Davide van Vlijmen and Anna Saxby, owners and directors of SphereMania® Barcelona, an adrenaline activity centre located in the city’s beautiful Parc del Forum. We moved out here from the UK three years ago in order to set up a Sphereing® franchise and a new life in the sun. After two years of blood, sweat and tears – setting up a business in Spain is no walk in the park – we now have two full seasons under our belts and are ready to bring hill rolling to the masses of Catalonia!
