Rugby Tour Spain

The question we get asked most is what the standard will be like, and it's a fair thing to worry about. Nobody wants to fly a squad two thousand miles for a hiding, and multiple easy wins teach your players nothing either.

So we match every fixture by age and ability before you travel. We know the clubs here, we know roughly where a visiting side will sit once you've told us about them, and the draw gets put together with that in mind.

If your squad is stronger or weaker than the age group suggests, tell us. It's far more useful to us than a polite answer, and it's the difference between a good day and a long one.

We've been doing this from the Costa del Sol since 2010, and we arrange every fixture ourselves.

Mid-April on the Catalan coast, and the Junior Sitges Cup brings U10s, U11s and U12s together on Saturday 17th April 2027, with clubs from Spain, the UK and Ireland.

It's one day of rugby, and that age is about the sweet spot for a first tour. Old enough to remember it properly, young enough that the whole thing still feels like an adventure.

Sitges is a gentle base for a group that size, and Barcelona is thirty minutes away by train when somebody wants a change of scene.

Boys and girls both play. Flights come into Barcelona or Reus, and everything from the airport onwards is arranged.

Junior dates are the ones parents book around, so an early conversation helps.

There's a chapel in the grounds at BlueBay Banús, which gives you some idea of the scale of the place. Twenty-eight thousand square metres of subtropical gardens, ponds, a playground, and three pools with one of them kept for the little ones.

It's in Puerto Banús, about ten minutes' walk from the beach, with restaurants inside the complex and a bar down on the sand.

There's room to breathe here. Squad in one part of the gardens, families in another, and nobody living on top of anybody else for four days.

If Marbella is on your list, this is one to look at.

Thinking about touring abroad? Spain is a favourite destination for UK, Irish and European teams looking to get away from the winter doldrums.

We run tours in southern Spain, on the Costa del Sol, and in Catalonia, on the Costa Barcelona. Sitges is where most of our Catalonia touring is based, a vibrant coastal town with some stunning four-star hotels.

It's small enough to walk from one end to the other, so your players, your coaching staff and any families travelling with you are all in the same place with everything in reach. The seafront runs for a couple of kilometres with the old quarter behind it, and there's a seventeenth-century church out on the rocks at the far end.

And when somebody wants a change of scene, Barcelona is just thirty minutes away, with trains every twenty minutes.

The beginning of April in Sitges, on the Catalan coast near Barcelona, is a wonderful time of the year. It's not too hot, not too cold, about the perfect weather for rugby. The clocks will have just gone ahead the week before, so the days will be longer, allowing for more exploration by daylight.

The Dofins Cup runs on Saturday, April 3rd, 2027, for U8s and U10s, boys and girls, and we expect some well matched competition from the teams visiting from the UK, Ireland and their Spanish hosts.

After the rugby, Sitges awaits, and for those who want something a little more cosmopolitan, Barcelona is just a thirty minute train ride away.

Benalmádena is only twenty minutes from Málaga airport, which makes it incredibly convenient when busing a coachload of tired children in from an early flight.

Holiday World is three four-star hotels on one resort, and the facilities are the reason we keep going back. Nine pools between them, with slides and splash areas for the younger ones, plus a bowling alley, minigolf, a cinema and a kids' club for three to twelve year olds.

Mealtimes are easy too. There's a buffet and a good spread of themed restaurants across the resort, so nobody is eating the same thing four nights running.

Rooms take three or four players with their own bathrooms, and there are singles for your staff.

We've been putting groups into hotels along this coast since 2010. Get in touch with your numbers and we'll sort the rest.

The Meliá Costa del Sol sits right on the beach at Torremolinos, and every room has a terrace looking out to sea.

Rooms take three or four players, all ensuite, with singles for staff. There are three outdoor pools and a buffet running at breakfast and dinner.

Shops and cafés are within walking distance.

It's a four-star that suits pretty much any group, minis through to vets.

Send us your dates and squad numbers and we'll build it around you.

The Andalucía Cup is a full day of U14 rugby at San Roque Rugby Club on Sunday 28th March 2027, with clubs from Spain, the UK and Ireland.

The club is in Sotogrande, near spectacular beaches, entertainment and dining options, and Gibraltar is only 20 minutes away if you fancy adding a day on the Rock.

Late March here usually sits around 20 degrees with seven or eight hours of sun a day.

Four-star hotel, half board, three or four nights, and we'll sort the transport.

Get in touch and we'll build the tour around your club.

The tercer tiempo is the third half, and it's a big part of touring here in Spain.

After the final whistle both teams sit down together at the club. The coaches get talking, the players mix, and shirts get swapped before anyone heads off.

It's what your squad brings up when you ask them about the tour months later.

The clubs we work with in Andalucía and Catalonia have been welcoming touring teams for years, and they're good at making a group feel at home.

Ask us about a tour and we'll talk you through how it all works.

The Sol Cup is in Marbella on Saturday 20th March 2027, U8s through to U12s, boys and girls together, with clubs coming from Spain, the UK and Ireland.

For most of the children it's their first tour, and it shows. They arrive at the airport in club kit at six in the morning having barely slept, and go home having played a Spanish side and swapped a shirt with a lad whose name they couldn't pronounce.

The rugby is one day, games matched by age and ability, everyone in the same hotel. By March you're usually playing in shirtsleeves.

It's a good one for clubs travelling with families. The seafront is a few minutes away and Marbella old town is walkable from most of the hotels we use, so the parents do well out of it too.

Get in touch and we'll talk you through how a minis tour works.
