Riga, the capital of Latvia is a city full of opportunities.  Explore the old medieval town and its historic buildings, take a cruise along the Riga City Canal, or perhaps try your hand at some of the sporting activities available including (but not limited to); paint balling, a round of golf, visit Northern Europe’s largest water park, try your hand at curling or perhaps you fancy your chances at the Sigulda World Championships Bobsleigh run (yes, you can even do this with no snow!).  The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down… In old Riga in particular there are countless restaurants, bars and nightclubs featuring entertainment to satisfy all tastes.  During the summer months Old Riga is bursting at the seams with open air cafes and beer gardens.

This is a country which has a proud sporting tradition, the hockey crazed city of Terrassa just outside Barcelona is home to some of the regions best clubs and the excellent facilities are a legacy from the hugely successful Summer Olympics in 1992. The coastal resorts of Castelldefels and Calella are used as touring bases due to their close proximity to this city which, unlike most major cities, also has a beach! An essential part of any sports tour is a trip to the famous Camp Nou Stadium.
