Facilities at and around our training center.

Kitchen

Catalans take food very seriously and they still have their town markets where you can buy all the local produce from the region. Catalans live their lives around their food, even taking three hours off work in the middle of the day to enjoy their huge lunches. It is therefore no surprise that Catalonia is now world-renowned for its food and the worlds number one rated restaurant is located here. We have a sports chef providing the catering in our fully equipped professional catering kitchen on the premises. Breakfasts are very important and a range of foods are available, to specifically suit the needs of our athletic cliental. Special diets can also be catered for. So please inform us of any special requests, as only with good nutrition comes your ability to train to your maximum.

Sports Facilities

For open water swim training there is the crystal clear Banyoles Lake, which is only 5km from the masia. It is approximately 2km long and 0.5km wide. It is an incredible location with the Volcanoes of the Garrotxa region rising from its western edge. There is a 25m swimming pool located right at the training center, 2 more in Banyoles, and 20km away in Girona, swim training in a 50m competition pool can also be arranged.

For cycling you will enjoy beautiful scenery, while riding on quiet, well maintained roads. The weather is fantastically warm and sunny and you have the Pyrenees, the Garrotxa Volcanic National Park and the Mediterranean all within cycling distance (this is the training ground of a 7-time Tour de France winner). Also cycling is a national sport in Spain, so the other road users appreciate cyclists and will not try and run you off the road.

For running, there are a myriad of gorgeous off-road trails, that commence directly from the training center's door. There are beautiful routes in the area from the beautiful off-road trail around the Banyoles lake, to a lovely forested 10km trail that goes right over the top of two volcanoes, one of which has an idyllic church situated right inside its crater. Catalonia has done an amazing job at preserving all of its old pack-horse trails, so that people can enjoy these routes for generations to come.

Gymnasium

At the training center we have a gym equipped with free weights, swiss balls and turbo trainers.
