As well as taking part in snow-related activities such as night skiing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, the bloggers visited towns including Puigcerdà, Llívia, Camprodon and Olot. Their activities generated 15,823,196 shares on social networks in just one week. Participants included Doris Casares, a blogger and journalist who writes for digital media such as 3viajesand founder of Spain's most influential community of travel bloggers, Travel Inspirers; British bloggers Iain Mallory, author of the Mallory on travel blog and Andy Higgs of Grown-up travel; video blogger Diego Pons of Viajando con Diego, and Mariana Calleja, writer for the Traveldudes and TravelThirst blogs.
