Rugby Tours to Spain

Our rugby tours to Spain offer a variety of locations. Bespoke to your fit, each trip incorporates exploring the culture, playing competitively in local tournaments/fixtures or utilising the region for a pre-season training camp.

With the opening of our European HQ in the Basque Country, Bilbao and San Sebastian are extremely popular for our rugby players. Perfect for the summer months to take a trip abroad and attend pre-season fixtures and practise training, relaxing on the sunny beach and embracing the Spanish culture. A further opportunity is available to extend the trip and step over the French border to Bayonne and Biarritz for a full Basque region benefit en route home.

The Costa Brava’s beach resorts present an affordable beach-front option that features a day trip to Perpignan, France as standard to incorporate a twin­-country tour. Mallorca will bowl you over for beauty and tradition whilst Valencia is gaining a reputation as a city hosting an exciting array of rugby talent through its club scene. Regional flights from across the UK make this an affordable and simplistic option for your forthcoming rugby tour.

Our Recommendations  

 

“The Basque Country has proved ideal as a pre season destination, meeting all our requirements and exceeding expectations.  As well as being a fantastic part of the world with glorious beaches it is a region that lives and breathes rugby. Having Stuart and MSG Tours on the ground has allowed us to take a flexible approach to our itinerary, adapting to the variety of uncontrollable factors that seem crop up on overseas tours.  An all-round amazing experience.”

 

Chris Morgan, Director of Sport at Tonbridge School
Biarritz Pre-Season Rugby Tour, August 2017

“Suffice to say the trip that was laid on was excellent with exactly the right balance between free time, activities and rugby. All transport was excellent and on time; the Koisi was ideally situated for our group and perfect for the numbers and age of the boys, and the boys will all remember their pelota experience.”
