We have always enjoyed touring immensely as players, coaches and teachers and we bring this knowledge and understanding to your tour experience, together with lots of fun and enthusiasm to ensure you have lasting memories.
Our knowledge of the local Clubs and Schools in the area together with our experience of touring, enables us to create tours that have a genuine personal touch. We are always on hand to ensure your tour runs as smoothly as possible.
Rugby Tour Spain are now organising specific rugby tournaments and festivals including Veterans, Beach Rugby & Age Group competitions in a variety of locations in Southern Spain.
We have linked up with Northampton Saints to run Community Rugby Camps in Andalucia starting in February 2024 in Jerez de la Frontera.
All Rugby Clubs in Andalucia from Seville to Malaga love hosting touring teams from all over Europe so finding the right fixture at the right club is something we can guarantee and pride ourselves on.
We also appreciate the importance of the off-pitch part of touring and have some great options for you to fully enjoy your trip to with us.
Guy Leleu
Guy Leleu has had 20 years playing and coaching experience in the UK and has continued playing and coaching in Spain.
His associations in Spain are with El Puerto de Santa Maria enjoying promotion to the national league and at Marbella where many of the players have gone to represent Andalucía and some to the Spanish national team.
During the past 5 years Guy has become increasingly involved in creating and running sports tours for clubs and schools to Southern Spain. He has welcomed teams playing rugby, football, netball, hockey and basketball.
The improvement and interest in rugby in Spain particularly in this area has meant that touring Spain is now an excellent option for clubs. The creation, with his business partner Adrian Parsons, of Los Pirates – an invitational team of the best players in Andalucía – has meant that touring here is now even more attractive and competitive.
