Costa Brava landscape near Tossa de Mar (Girona, Spain)

Costa Brava : Spain

Spain is the perfect choice for a Sports tour - if you’re looking for terrific weather, great excursions and first class sports arrangements then this is the destination for you! Costa Brava is one of our best selling locations offering an excellent base for Sport.
We have two terrific resorts to choose from Platja d'Aro - always a popular choice with our groups and its sister resort of Calella which is ideally situated for visiting the exciting City of Barcelona.

Calella
Calella is just 50km from Barcelona making it an ideal choice for groups who want to combine a beach location with a visit to the city. This well established coastal resort has clean sandy beaches, excellent beachfront facilities and is very child friendly. The old town of Calella has a traditional atmosphere with its old buildings, narrow streets and tapas bars. Hockey and rugby groups are particularly well catered for here with easy access to Barcelona and its sporting clubs and facilities.
Recommended for Hockey & Rugby

Platja d'Aro
As the longest and most established school operator using Platja d'Aro we have formed excellent relationships with local hotels, sports clubs and attractions. STS Pavilion Tours is extremely well known in this resort and all of our groups receive a warm welcome from the hoteliers and local staff. We can arrange a wide variety of fixtures for different sports against local teams.
Recommended for Football & Netball

Both these tour destinations include visits to the Nou Camp Stadium, home of the magnificent Barcelona Football Club. The Stadium truly is one of the world’s greatest sporting venues, during the visit groups experience a full 'behind the scenes' tour which includes the press box, changing rooms and museum.
