Charlie, who runs the trips, is very friendly and organised and, having lived in Seville for 5 years, he has an in-depth knowledge of the city. The hotel is very comfortable and right in the heart of the old town, a minute’s walk from the Cathedral. Each morning we were taken by taxi to the padel club around 15-20 minutes away. The club has indoor and outdoor courts and friendly coaches who all speak good English. It also has a gym and a pleasant bar serving food and drink. It’s a very well organised place, but it’s friendly, and not remotely corporate in its feel.
In the afternoon you can either play more padel or wander round Seville, as you can in the evening when the old town is buzzing and very convivial. It must be one of the best cites in Europe. The whole trip is a perfect mix of sport and culture, and the Friday night tapas tour is a particular highlight. I can’t recommend it enough.
