The aim of the campaign was to encourage people to visit the North of Spain, in particular the lesser visited cities, such as\u00a0Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia and Basque country. We chose eight wonderful content creators and gave each pair of influencers a city to explore over a weekend. Throughout the weekend, each influencer was tasked with creating a comprehensive 48hr travel guide to the city they explored, as well as a specific gastronomy focused content piece to show how incredible Spanish food is!<\/p>\n<p>You can check out all the influencers and the content that has been created for this campaign over on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/projects\/northern-spain-campaign-ingreenspain\/\">website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>NOVEMBER<\/h2>\n<div class=\"btx-item btx-image btx-center-position\"><div class=\"btx-image-container\"><div class=\"btx-media-wrapper modal-image\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><a class=\"btx-media-wrapper-inner\" href=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n-512x341.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.traverse-events.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/45710527_1910236335738262_8273913745923637248_n-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Traverse Mingle<\/h3>\n<p>Date: 02.11.18<br \/>\nLocation: Royal Star, London, UK<\/p>\n<p><em>#TraverseMingle<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Traverse Mingle is always one of our biggest and best nights of the year!
