Tennis Holidays: Out & About

In addition to playing lots of great tennis many of our guests like to get out and about during their holiday. We provide all our guests with a detailed information pack, which among other things includes details of the local beaches, great places to eat and drink and things to see and do. With this in mind, we thought it would be good idea to showcase some of the featured material here on the tennis holiday blog.

A Great Day Out: Guadamar Del Segura

Guadamar Del Segura is a wonderful seaside town just a 20 minute drive from our guest accommodation. This is one of our favourite family day out destinations because just a couple of minutes walk from the fabulous beach is a large adventure play area and nature reserve. This is where we usually start off before strolling down to the beach for a bite to eat. The following pictures were taken during our latest day out to Guadamar on Sunday.

Padel Tennis

Tennis Holidays in The Sun



Padel Tennis, more commonly referred to as just Padel is a brilliant game that is incredibly popular in Spain and throughout Latin America and it's proving very popular with our tennis guests.

Our latest guest tennis venue at the Montepiedra Sports Centre is the leading Padel centre in the region. In addition to the excellent all weather artificial grass tennis courts, the centre also has 6 state of the art Padel courts. The centre is home to some of the top Padel tennis players in Spain.

Head tennis coach Gareth Pritchard runs social tennis sessions throughout the week at the centre, but if any of our guests also fancy a go at Padel during their stay, Gareth would be more than willing to show them the ropes.

Top Guest Recommended Restaurants: Mesón del Lago

One of the things we intend to include on the Affordable Tennis Holiday Blog are details of places to eat and drink that have been recommended by our tennis guests, the first of which is The Restaurante Mesón del Lago.

Situated inside the grounds of El Castillo del Conesa (The Castle of San Miguel de Salinas), The Restaurante Mesón del Lago is ideal for anybody looking for something typically Spanish.

Only a 10 to 15 minute drive away from our guest accommodation this must visit and surprisingly inexpensive restaurant is proving to be a firm favourite with many of our guests. As with most places in Spain The Restaurante Mesón del Lago is very child friendly and even has a large play area for children.
