Training Pedralbes
By Michael Mueller
A stand-alone house in the upper part of Barcelona is home to Training Pedralbes, a private swingers club that calls itself a club of friends. Couples and single women are admitted, as is typical; members register at the club. A man coming alone requires an invitation from a member couple, who must accompany him all night; partners must also stay together inside. Admission includes a locker.
Training opens in the afternoon Tuesday through Thursday and on Sundays for Tardeo (afternoon socializing). Friday and Saturday sessions run late into the night. A lingerie day and Ambiente Training feature on the weekly lineup, with seasonal parties including Carnaval and Feria de Abril in February and April, respectively. The club also celebrates Halloween and New Year’s Eve.
The space asks members to be discreet and prohibits sportswear, drugs, drunkenness and racism. Members can sign up separately for its online forum, and the club is a partner of swinger social network SDC.com.
