A weekend of padel in Valencia with your friends.

A weekend of padel with your friends under the Spanish sun, enjoying tapas and the vibrant vibe of a lively city — sounds great, right? In this blog, Jo shares his experience and why he’d do this trip again in a heartbeat.

Who are you?

We’re a group of friends from Belgian Limburg who started playing padel a few years ago. What began as a fun hobby quickly turned into a shared passion. Before long, the idea came up to go on a padel training trip together: a few days of intensive training, combined with enjoying a beautiful destination to the fullest.

Why Valencia?

We were looking for the perfect mix: a city where we could sharpen our padel skills but also relax and unwind. Valencia quickly turned out to be the ideal choice—sunny, vibrant, and a place where padel is truly alive.

What did you expect from the trip?

No stress or packed schedule. Just learning a few new things on the court, enjoying the city, eating tapas, maybe a bike ride… A good mix of sport and relaxation.

Did the trip live up to your expectations?

We learned a lot during the training sessions, especially about technique and positioning. The coaches were laid-back and made sure it stayed fun. And that match against the locals? Amazing — relaxed but still challenging.

Besides that, we really got to explore Valencia. The bike tour we took was fantastic, especially thanks to our guide Peggy. She also gave us the best tip of the trip: try an Agua de Valencia at Café de las Horas. Definitely do it!

A very successful padel trip. Everything was well organized, no worries, so we could fully enjoy it! Definitely a must!

Your top 3 highlights of the trip?

1. The padel training – both educational and fun
2. The bike tour – a great way to see the city

Would you choose Valencia again?

Definitely! It was an amazing weekend. The city is beautiful and laid-back, and everything is super easy to get around by bike. Perfect for an active yet relaxing trip with friends.
