Can you help me show the good parts of Sheffield to three lovely Spanish senoritas?!

Hi guys.

 

I'm (rather shamefully) in need of some advice.

 

My Spanish Lodger, Lara, has a couple of friends over from Spain. They arrive today and are leaving on Monday. She has asked me what they could do locally to fill their days. They don't have access to a car, so they will be reliant on public transport - we're just on the tram route, so this shouldn't be a problem. The issue is, despite having lived in this city for five years now, I am clueless when it comes to dealing with tourists! Most of the people that come and visit me are my peers, so it's just nights out down the pub for us!!

 

I need a few decent suggestions for them, be they cultural, rural, whatever.

 

Help?!

 

NB - I'll be sending her a link to this thread, so if you're Spanish and more comfortable writing in Spanish - go for it!

El museo industrial de Kelham Island y después las tabernas en la cerca

 

Waheyy - a response.

 

Come on Sheffield, tell these foreign visitors what's so great about this city!!

depends what they are into? theres plenty of galleries about if they have an interest in art, take them swimming if they like to do that, a nice meal somwhere, trip out into the sticks to show how nice our countryside is (easily done by bus) take them to pitsmoor to show the the "hood" , maybe a gig one night? plenty of stuff to do mate.

Meadowhall ... ??

 

Maybe take em to Endcliffe park or down Eccy rd / Hunters bar for a cuppa? Its quite a nice walk.

Intento que consigue un tren a Leeds. ¡Es un lugar mucho más interesante, más moderno y agradable ser que Sheffield! ¡Y cualquier persona que discrepa es un hijo de un burro!

Now now Basil- don't be nasty. Macca's looking for help not sarcasm.

Personally I think I'd stick them on a bus out into the Peak District for one of the days, and have a look to see if there's something you can take them to at one of the theatres in town, which you can combine with an afternoon of galleries and the like for another day. Weston Park museum would be another one on my list too.

bus to Hathersage,? Bishops house( bit of history,cheap and on a bus route),galleries and the revamped museum,....im always stuck when we have visitors, usually end up in Strines having a pint ..

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

 

I should point out - I'm working tomorrow day so not around for them, and I'm going to Liverpool for the match on Saturday, so I'm only around for them on Sunday.

 

Keep those ideas coming though
