Trips for adults that will take your breath away
There are adults looking for a vacation full of peace and tranquility. Couples traveling without children, groups of friends or people traveling alone. For them we have chosen 5 destinations where 11Onze Viatges can offer you hotels just for adults.
Palma de Mallorca
Palma is beautiful all year round, not only in summer. It has an impressive historic center, which goes far beyond the famous Cathedral of Mallorca, La Seu. La Lonja, the Almudaina Palace and the Plaza Mayor are also must-see sights. In addition, you will find historical monuments in the fishing harbors, in the pine forests and among palm trees all over the island. You will find secluded coves, beaches and cliffs on the coast, and small towns and villages in the interior surrounded by mountain ranges up to 1,500 meters high, such as the Tramuntana mountain range. The variety of the landscape and culture invites the visitor to explore every corner of Mallorca as well as the unique gastronomy of the island – you will come back loaded with ensaimadas and sobrasadas!
Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech promises unparalleled sensations between tradition and modernity. Strolling through the Jemaa el-Fna square among the souks with their brightly colored goods and oriental scents wafting through the air, offers travelers a complete change of scenery.
In the heart of this ancient city you can enjoy the architectural richness of the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former Islamic capital originating from the 11th century. Visit one of Marrakech’s many small oriental palaces scattered throughout the city. Relax and recharge in the Menara, a sprawling garden with an iconic basin. Marrakech’s most modern area is found in the Gueliz and Invernage districts which offer the most modern infrastructure, luxury stores, international fashion boutiques, and spacious avenues, all of which contribute to Marrakech’s unique offerings.
As an economically growing and bustling city, Marrakech has special festive and cultural venues, such as the Palais des Congrès and the splendid Royal Theater. Enjoy Marrakech at night by discovering the many themed venues, trendy clubs and traditional soirées that reflect the lively side of the city.
Varna, Bulgaria
Varna is a port city and seaside resort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea. It is known because, as we explained in chapter 10 of The Diner, it is the place where mankind began to use gold in jewelry. The Varna Gold was discovered in a necropolis and is exhibited in the Archaeological Museum, along with Greek, Roman and Ottoman antiquities. The Golden Sands and St. Constantine and Helena Resorts regions are known for their pure, fine sand and mineral hot springs. Therefore, it is a perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
In addition, Varna is a cosmopolitan city where you will find art and cultural exhibitions throughout the city all year round with many art galleries and museums. It has plenty of cultural events including folklore, music, ballet, opera and theater, as well as outdoor exhibitions and many art galleries.
Corralejo, Fuerteventura Island
Fuerteventura is the oldest of the Canary Islands, about 22 million years old. It guarantees you a quiet beach vacation in good weather and is a biosphere reserve of the Canary Islands. Fuerteventura is also known for water sports lovers, because there are perfect conditions of wind and waves. So if you are kitesurfing or windsurfing lovers, this is a good destination for you.
Red Sea Riviera, Egypt
Everyone talks about the pyramids, but in Egypt there are also places to relax. In the Red Sea Riviera you will enjoy some of the best waterfront activities in eastern Egypt. It is a long coastal area with beautiful beaches leading to the Red Sea and is close to the Eastern Desert and south of the Sinai. Here you will find dolphins, dugongs (sea cows) and an overwhelming landscape of exotic flora and fauna. You will enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery and the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea.
The Egyptian Red Sea is a perfect destination for scuba diving. With pleasant weather, you can fish, snorkel, hike, visit the world’s largest aquaculture museum or get close to charming fishing villages such as Dahab, Safaga or Marsa Alam.

The campaign for the sale of gold coins as gifts promoted by 11Onze as a present for this holiday season is attracting the interest of specialized international media such as Finextra and UK News Group.
You can read the original articles, from Finextra and UK News Group. Here are some excerpts.
European community fintech urges its members to go for gold this Christmas.
In many communities across Europe, family and friends will be exchanging gifts, money and good news this Christmas; so, in line with its mission to help its community build wealth, community fintech 11Onze is offering gold coins as gifts to members and users.
James Sène, president of 11Onze, explains the reasons for the campaign, “We live in uncertain times. We are facing runaway inflation, the depreciation of the euro and war in Europe. In these times, when there is uncertainty about the future of fiat currencies, we believe that investing in gold is the right decision. As a gift, it will not lose value over time and can be converted into cash quickly, the value of which will only appreciate.”
Since the suspension of the Bretton Woods agreements in 1971, which led to the abandonment of the gold standard, the sum of banknotes and commercial bank credit has multiplied by more than 30 times, which is equivalent to its depreciation of money. Gold, on the other hand, has seen its value multiply by 38. In fact, since December 2015, gold has appreciated by more than 40% against the euro.
Borrowing some of the magic from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 11Onze offers its buyers, along with the coins, a Christmas postcard and a personalized gold ticket certifying the gold purchase.
Toni Mata, 11Onze’s Director of Content and Media, who is leading the campaign, said: “The 11Onze gold ticket connects directly to the fantasy created by Roald Dahl in the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There, children who found the golden ticket inside the chocolate tile were invited to visit the chocolate factory of the wacky Willy Wonka. The 11Onze golden ticket won’t take any children to meet the Oompa Loompa, but it will ensure that they have gold for the future.”
If you want to give a gift for tomorrow, give gold. Here’s how to buy gold coins with 11Onze this holiday season.
Up to now, with Preciosos 11Onze, it has been possible to purchase gold bullion. From now on, we also offer the option of buying Krugerrand and Britannia gold coins. Gift gold, for tomorrow’s future.
If you want to give gold as a gift for tomorrow and you want to have it on a specific date, we list until when you can place the order so that it arrives on time.
The gold coins that 11Onze offers as a gift for tomorrow are becoming one of the star gifts of the holidays. As soon as the customer makes the purchase, everything is prepared and shipped so that it arrives as soon as possible. But there are holidays in between and specific dates when we all want to have the gifts ready. Therefore, we have listed the deadlines for the package to arrive on time.
During the holidays it is tradition to give money to the people we love. But considering the current economic context, if you want to give something that tomorrow will keep its value, the best option is to give gold. For this reason, 11Onze has launched the sale of gold coins, which arrive with a Christmas card and a personalized gold ticket certifying the purchase. You can request more information by filling out this form.

The labor market of the future is the topic of this third episode of 11Onze’s financial education video podcast. From 7pm you can follow your conversation live with David Garrofé on this page.
As usual, the ‘Que no faltin!’ will be available exclusively live on La Plaça, in the player in this article. Users can leave questions in the comments of this news item for David Garrofé to answer them live.
It’s a perfect gift for the holidays and that’s how the 11Onze community has understood it, which in a few days has sold out the stock of the popular South African coin. From now on, new customers will be able to buy Krugerrand 2022.
For tomorrow, gold. That it is much better than giving away bills of a fiat currency like the euro, punished by depreciation and inflation, is obvious to anyone who knows how gold reacts in adverse economic cycles.
For this reason, 11Onze launched the sale of gold coins to give as gifts. We did so on December 1, with the Christmas holidays in mind, accompanying the purchase with a postcard and a gold bill crediting the purchase. As a result, members of the 11Onze community have sold out of the Krugerrand 2020 coin stock in ten days. During this week, buyers will receive the coins at home, ready to give as holiday gifts.
Now 11Onze has a new stock of Krugerrand coins. In this case they are 2022 and cost 222€, so there is an increase of 2€. You can also continue to place orders for the Britannia coin. Requests can be made by filling out this form.
The Krugerrand coin is of South African origin and is one of the coins that attracts more gold investors. If you want to know its history you can do it by reading this article.

Christmas holidays are celebrated all over the world, but customs vary from country to country. In 11Onze we review some of the Christmas traditions in other parts of the world.
Portugal and Italy
Nativity scenes are not only made in Catalonia, they can also be found in Portugal and Italy. Many are true works of art, with months of work, effort and investment. In many cities they are almost a tourist attraction. If you are passionate about nativity scenes, you will have already visited the living nativity scenes and the Catalan nativity scene associations. Perhaps you can visit Portuguese and Italian ones!
Christmas Day
What day is Christmas celebrated? Normally, December 25, but this is not the case everywhere. The Orthodox Church uses the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar. This means that Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas Day on January 7 (or around that date, depending on the church). Therefore, Ukraine and Russia will celebrate Christmas for Epiphany, so to speak. Christmas Day is a holiday and the preceding days are days of reflection and often fasting. But Christmas Day is a real holiday in the company of loved ones.
Exporting the Christmas Party
If in Catalonia we often complain that we import traditions such as Halloween, it must be said that the Christmas party is also being exported to other places. It is a kind of fashion trend, often without any religious sense. This means that in these places there are activities linked to Christmas but December 25 is a working day. In the end, it ends up being just another commercial holiday. For example, in Japan at Christmas the most popular food is fried chicken, something that KFC has capitalized on.
Christmas feast
Escudella and chicken with plums and pine nuts is the classic Catalan cuisine for Christmas Day. But there are many other options. In Eastern Europe, in countries like Poland or Lithuania, people traditionally enjoy 12 different dishes on Christmas Eve. And it is necessary to eat them all to avoid bad luck. If you have a Christmas meal in these countries you will taste beet soup, cabbage with beans, poppy seed cake, and many more typical dishes.
Gifts
In many countries, besides the 25th (or the 7th, of course), a very important day is December 5. It is especially special for children, as this is when Santa Claus brings them presents. There are many versions of the story that it originated in Finland. Most say that he resorts the world to his sleigh and jumps down chimneys to put presents under the Christmas tree. But in some countries, the stories are slightly different. For example, in the Netherlands, the Sinterklaas disembarks from a steamship. Then, all the local church bells ring in celebration and the children receive their long-awaited gifts.
The Christmas holidays are a great time to travel alone or as a family. Doing so by celebrating Christmas in another country is an option to have a different holiday.

With a low birth rate, there will be a shortage of labour. With digitalisation, some jobs will disappear and others will be created.

What do our employers need? What jobs will be most in demand?

Marketingdirecto, the leading online advertising and marketing media, has dedicated an article to 11Onze District, the 11Onze marketing agency led by Gemma Vallet, recognising a job well done since its launch in summer 2022. You can read the article below.
11Onze District, the in-house agency of 11Onze fintech, is born
11Onze, a Southern European fintech community, social network, marketplace and neobank, based in Barcelona launches 11Onze District, an in-house marketing agency. An agency born to also help catapult startups and emerging brands into the local and global market through branded content campaigns, programmatic advertising, social selling and live shopping.
Taking advantage of the knowledge and experience acquired during the launch of the fintech platform 11Onze.cat and the super app EL CANUT, now one of the strategic objectives of 11Onze is also to help especially new companies, startups, in their marketing and communication.
The president of 11Onze, James Sène, points out that “11Onze District has something really unique: a media and social network with a loyal community like 11Onze.cat. We can offer brands a global martech advertising service, through branded content and programmatic advertising that we can activate on 11Onze.cat and other digital media.
11onze.cat, the social network and community of 11Onze District
The 11Onze social network and community, 11onze.cat, has more than 15,000 registered and active members. This is a premium audience. Brands achieve eCommerce conversion rates that can exceed 1%.
“Our advertiser brands are serviced by our team of senior experts in digital marketing, social media, branding, content marketing and global eCommerce performance marketing,” he adds.
11Onze District also offers innovative advertising formats within the 11Onze.cat platform such as social selling and live shopping, supported by a specialised influencer marketing service, a very exclusive and effective service, thanks to the network of 11Onze agents, people certified and trained to provide information on fintech products.
“11Onze District is an in-house agency, although it has been designed to serve other brands. It has been created in record time and puts 11Onze at the forefront of advertising and marketing technology,” explained Gemma Vallet, director and driving force behind 11Onze District.
“I firmly believe that any social network – like the 11Onze community – as well as the giants Meta, TikTok or Google – should have its own agency to service brands. And these agencies have been historically proven to facilitate and help innovate both the creative agencies, media agencies and mainly the brand advertiser,” adds Gemma Vallet.
As a result of 11Onze’s reputation and the personal trajectory of James Sène, in large media groups, and Gemma Vallet, in renowned international consultancies and advertising agencies, 11Onze District has been able to attract strategic partners in programmatic advertising and OTT platform, to activate digital campaigns both locally and internationally with all the guarantees.
Among 11Onze District’s clients is Natulim, a startup with a star product, its vegan and ecological soap strips for washing clothes, which has recently been awarded as the best innovative product in the Spanish market.

11Onze is launching the sale of gold coins as gifts. Buyers will receive the coins, an exclusive Christmas postcard and a gold note as proof of purchase. Gold, for tomorrow’s future.
Christmas holidays are a time to think of others and wish them well. In many Catalan households, this wish translates into an envelope of money for tomorrow’s future. In other words, fathers, mothers, grandfathers or grandmothers are in the habit of giving money as a gift so that it will be helpful to their children or grandchildren in the future. But does this make sense right now? With rampant inflation, a depreciating euro and uncertainty about the future of fiat currencies, money does not seem as valuable or as secure a gift as it did a few years ago.
For this reason, at 11Onze we thought that this role could be played by gold. Gold is the best option if you want to give a gift that will not lose value over time and can be converted into cash quickly. For tomorrow’s future, give gold as a gift.
For tomorrow’s future
Until now, with Preciosos 11Onze you could buy gold bullion for as little as €3,000. We now offer the option of buying gold coins, starting at €220. For 11Onze members with an El Canut account, shipping is free. For all other buyers, it costs €9.99.
How are they delivered?
If you want to buy gold coins as a gift, you have to fill in this form and an agent will contact you. Once everything is ready, you will pay directly by credit card. At home, you will receive a Christmas card and a personalised gold ticket that certifies your gold purchase. We will send it all to you, along with the coins. The campaign runs from 1 December to 6 January, but we recommend ordering as early as possible to ensure delivery of the coins during the festive season. In the event that the stock of coins runs out, the gold banknote will be sent first, followed by the coins.
The magic of Christmas
The 11Onze gold banknote connects directly with the fantasy created by Roald Dahl in the novel ‘Charlie and the chocolate factory‘. There, children who found the golden ticket inside the chocolate bar were invited to visit the chocolate factory of the bizarre Willy Wonka. The 11Onze gold ticket will not be used to take any children to meet the Oompa Loompa, but it will have a function that we believe is very valuable: it will ensure that they have gold for tomorrow’s future.
If you want to discover the best option to protect your savings, enter Preciosos 11Onze. We will help you buy at the best price the safe-haven asset par excellence: physical gold.
