This club-exclusive journey explores the heart of Southern Spain, with visits to Seville, Málaga, Granada, and Ronda. The itinerary blends organized pickleball play with rich cultural immersion, including visits to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic neighborhoods, and iconic Spanish landmarks.
Pickleball is played on most days, typically in the mornings, with certified local instructors and opportunities to play alongside local Spanish players. Select days are reserved for full-day excursions, allowing members to experience the region more deeply beyond the courts. We can also include a day of Padel if travelers are interested in learning/playing padel too.
Every element of the trip is handcrafted and hand-picked, from centrally located premium hotels in historic city centers to guided cultural experiences, gourmet meals, and comfortable private transportation. The pace is intentionally balanced, combining active play, meaningful local interaction, and time to relax and enjoy Southern Spain together as a club.
Non-pickleball-playing spouses, partners, friends, and family members are welcome and regularly join our trips, enjoying the same immersive cultural experiences alongside the group.
About the Program
We pioneered organized pickleball travel in Europe in 2014, launching the first dedicated pickleball trips in European countries. Tours are directed by our founder, a North American originally from California who has lived in Europe for over 30 years and played a key role in introducing pickleball throughout Europe, including founding the Spanish Pickleball Association. See over 60 testimonial videos from our past travelers talking about their experience at: https://micklepickleballtrips.com/testimonials/
Trips are delivered by our established local team, developed and refined over many years. One of our dedicated team leaders is on-site for the entire trip, welcoming travelers on arrival and managing every detail throughout the journey — both on and off the court.
