Under The Spanish Sun - for Runners!
Train at the seaside in every season
Winter training base on the Mediterranean Sea
If you're looking for a place where you can train without compromise – sun, flat terrain, views and great infrastructure – Santa Pola is the perfect choice.
Our holiday home is located 50 meters from the start of the trails, which allow you to focus solely on running from the very first minute.
Why Santa Pola?
- Mild winter climate (ideal for building an aerobic base)
- Flat, fast routes along the sea
- Natural surfaces in nature reserves
- Little car traffic outside the center
- Great fitness facilities for complementary training
This is a place where many runners train for marathons, half marathons and ultramarathons – without snow or layers of clothing.
