FITNESS LEVEL

The first day we will train at the centenary Club with views to the historic Monserrat Mountains. Our first day at the courts coaches will do the personal evaluations on court with every player so we can gather all the possible feedback to address from the beginning the week objectives for each one of them.

After a nice outdoor lunch at the club we will head for a unique tour of the famous Baix Penedes Region. We will first take you to the core of cava-making, D.O. Penedès. Beautifully crafted sparkling wines and local food await in Ca n’Estella cava winery to captivate your senses while you learn about the region and the fascinating history of the family who runs the cellar. A beautiful 18th century masia (the traditional Catalan country house) presides the estate of this small winery, where they are indeed proud to be small.

After our intense morning training session we will head to our touristic visits. Our first stop will be at Park Güell designed by iconic architect Gaudi. Park Güell is an entire park full of Gaudí’s fanciful imagination. From the forest of languid stone columns, to the famous Serpent Bench which winds along the perimeter, this Modernist masterpiece is basically a Gaudí theme park. Our next stop will be the historic La Sagrada Familia, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Antoni Gaudi’s magnum opus. It is undoubtedly the most iconic structure in Barcelona (and the most popular, with nearly 3 million visitors per year). Construction has been ongoing for more than 135 years, and the surreal structure, with its rainbow-hued stained glass windows, is slated for completion in 2026. Even in its unfinished state, it remains an absolute must-see for every visitor to the Catalan capital. From there we will head explore Casa Batlló, With a wavy animalistic facade and brilliant colors, and thought-provoking whimsical features everywhere this another Antoni Gaudi’s architectural masterpiece.

Being at the heart of Barcelona and after a long day of training and walking we will end the day having a traditional Spanish dinner in the center of Plaza Espanya with views of the wonderful building that from this city.

The idea of this off day is to recoup from the first few days of training. We will spend a full day in one of the most beautiful stretches in all Europe- the Costa Brava. From stunning sights of rocky cliffs, mysterious coves, historic sites and golden beaches we will have an exciting touristic day.

Early in the morning we will head to the emblematic village of Tossa de Mar, considered “the pearl of Costa Brava” because in this small area we can find all those landscape and historic elements which have given it such well-deserved fame. Its spectacular sceneries, from its shores, beaches, caves in the cliffs to its lush vegetation, turn it into one of the locations that has better preserved its natural environment in perfect harmony with the tourism industry. Before heading to our second destination we will have a true traditional Mediterranean lunch enjoying the amazing views of the coast.

After refueling we will head to the beautiful and historic medieval village of Rupit; where you can wander along the picturesque cobblestone streets and admire charming houses that date back to the 16th century. Lastly, after walking all day we will indulge on a traditional Catalan meal before we head back to the residence.

In our AM training session we will continue to refine the proper strokes and technique, but also to develop the proper strategic skills necessary so that our players know how to compete in a match in different scenarios.

After practice we will head La Boqueria. This covered public market in Barcelona originally dates back to the 1200’s. Labeled as one of the top food markets in the world, La Boqueria is not exactly an off the beaten path food destination in Barcelona. We will enjoy the variety of true Spanish food.

Our next stop will be the iconic Barri Gotic. This picturesque neighborhood is the very heart of Barcelona. It blends historic artifacts from its days under Roman dominion up through the Spanish Civil War with a vibrant modern-day culture of artisan shops and authentic culinary experiences. Avid explorers will be thrilled to discover quaint terraces and plazas brought to life by the many small bars and local musicians lasting late into the night.

We will end the night at the beautiful Plaça Espanya. Beyond the extravagant and colorful fountains guiding your way up the boulevard, stands the impressive and towering structure of the Palau Nacional, the national museum. We will enjoy, the Magic Fountain, one of the greatest shows in town. A beautiful display of water, lights and music.

Our last day of the week we will head to the coast of Barcelona to train in another magnificent site. In today’s training will bring some top local players to play matches with us so we can see you in compete and get a closer look at your game. The last hour of practice will be a fun one. We will introduce you to the game of Padel, which will help tremendously your game by working on reaction, volleys and coordination.

After a hard training session we will go for a nice lunch at the Castelldefels in one of the main beaches’ terraces. The afternoon will be to recover, and optional for the group to do anything they want.

But Friday is the day to visit the city when the sun goes down. We will hit some of the best chill out clubs and enjoying a unique summer vibe atmosphere.

Our last day after a super fun Friday will be our evaluation day at the courts. Will have our one on one private session where will go over main parts of your game and will analyze them so we can create a roadmap for you to continue to work. Also we will give the off court evaluation where will cover the mental aspects of your game as it’s always heavily linked to the development of your game. It’s a day for you to request anything you might want to work on and feel all your questions and internal thoughts are answered.

And to finalize this intense and busy week we will all go to enjoy a real household Paella to enjoy each’s other company on our last day together and chat about our amazing week of hard work and fun.
