British sports tourists are no strangers to Catalunya, thousands flocking to the seaside resort towns north and south of Barcelona each year. But what they may not know is that the palm-lined beaches hide top-notch junior boys and girls football, hockey and rugby teams willing to test their mettle against British youngsters.

Football is particularly strong in the area and excellent synthetic facilities mean players from both sides are able to play to the best of their ability. It’s no secret Spanish football is strong and with Barcelona’s Nou Camp within easy reach for a day trip, junior players can expect the tour of a lifetime.

Between fixtures there’s also the chance to sit by the beach or visit Salou’s Port Aventura theme park, home to Europe’s biggest and best rollercoasters. There won’t be a dull moment on tour to Catalunya!

If you’re looking to cater for a school/college group, you’d be crazy not to consider the ***Spanish Masterclass***. The biggest and best multi-sport festival in Spain takes place every Easter and Autumn holiday.
