Rugby Tours for Youth Groups to Spain
Spain is a great option if you’re looking to combine a competitive sports tour with extraordinary coastlines and beautiful cities. Rugby is a popular sport across the country, and especially so in the buzzing region of the Costa Brava.
We base our groups in Calella, near to the city of Barcelona. There are a number of top clubs here, including FC Barcelona Rugby and Santboiana. Barcelona also offers some of the most spectacular architecture in the world, including La Sagrada Familia. Salou is another popular destination with fantastic sporting facilities at Futbol Salou Sports Complex.

We can tailor your tour to suit your requirements. The usual tour length is 3 nights (Mon-Thur), or 4 nights (Mon-Fri).
If you are looking to maximise fixtures or excursions, we would recommend a 4-night tour as you would have plenty of time to fit in 2 fixtures and 2 excursions during your stay.
Our standard method of travel is by coach with Dover/Calais ferry crossing, however if you’d prefer to travel Hull/Rotterdam, or fly to Netherlands, we can also arrange this for you. Please let us know.
Well organized, they all enjoyed the rugby side, playing teams and bonding together.
