Experience a top flight European football development tour to Malaga CF, with training sessions conducted by professional club coaches on the two natural grass pitches at the resort complex. Additionally some sessions will be held on the 3rd generation artificial pitches at the official Málaga CF satellite training venues close to the main stadium in the city centre.

On top of world class training, groups also get the opportunity to watch first team and youth team training sessions (subject to match and training schedules) and receive a behind the scenes tour of the La Rosaleda stadium. An opportunity to watch Malaga in action in a La Liga match will be another tour highlight.
