Running Holidays


	Running Holidays in Spain [Full Image]

At Rio Frio Holidays, we offer running holidays & training camps for every standard of road, trail and fell runner - and plenty to do for other family members. We are perfectly positioned in the historic, beautiful and lively town of Antequera - right in the heart of Andalucia. Within easy reach of the fabulous cities of Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla, and just 45 minutes from Malaga and all that the best resorts of the Costa Del Sol have to offer (if that's your bag!).

We normally run around Antequera, and around the "Spanish Lake District" of El Chorro and the stunning natural park of El Torcal. We have trail running and road running routes to suit most tastes - so long as those tastes include some hills! We also have access to a brand new running track in Loja, just 35 minutes drive away.

Itinerary & Highlights

Our running programmes are all tailored to your requirements - whether you want to jog or run on your own, run with a guide, train with a personal trainer, or as part of a group, or want to take part in one of the local races. Whatever you choose, the routes will be on quiet roads and remote trails through some of the most stunning scenery in Europe. Routes may start and/or finish on our doorstep, or we may drive to the start and/or back from the finish. Every day will be organised to suit you.

If you are recovering from injury, on a taper before your big event, or just want a change of scenery, Rio Frio Holidays - with practical training and nutritional advice and on-site sports massage therapy - is the place to be.

Racing in Andalucia

You are welcome to join us for any of our "local" running events, including the Torremolinos, Malaga & Granada Half Marathons & the Seville Marathon. We will sort out your entry and provide your accommodation and transport to and from the event. Taking part in a race abroad just doesn't get any easier!

Cross Training

There is so much more to a running holiday or training camp with Rio Frio Holidays than just running. Between runs, why not do a spot of cross training? You can hire one of our quality mountain bikes, or make use of the hotel's state of the art fitness centre, indoor swimming pool and exercise classes - all for free! Or let us organise a horse ride, a round of golf, a game of tennis (including pro coaching), quad biking, archery, a microlight flight or a day of skiing.

Accommodation & Centre Details

Rio Frio Holidays offer a number of accommodation options

Antequera is one of the most fascinating, historic, safe and attractive towns in Andalucia. Guests of Rio Frio Holidays may be accommodated in the beautifully luxurious hotel "La Finca Eslava" situated on the edge of town, but within 15 minutes walk of the town centre; or in one of our traditional, luxurious town houses, which are perfectly located in a peaceful area in the "monumental zone" - on the very edge of the old town and within 5 minutes walk (but out of earshot!) of the heart of this lively pueblo.

4-Star Hotel Accommodation

La Finca Eslava has all of the facilities that you would expect from a 4-star hotel. It is one of those attractive charming places where the romanticism of Andalucia radiates from the colour of its courtyards and from the scent of its jasmine, night jasmine and myrtle trees.

With its 30 exclusive rooms, La Finca Eslava is set in a stately 18th century Andalucian country estate in a quiet, rural environment, but only a short distance from the centre of Antequera. The rooms are all fully equipped with Internet-ADSL access, satellite TV and independent air conditioning.

Finca Eslava is also equipped with a state-of-the-art sports centre, with a 25-metre indoor swimming pool and a fully-equipped gym, to which our guests have free access. The gym offers a regular programme of fitness classes, all of which are also included in the prices of our holidays.

Most of our guests at the hotel Finca Eslava enjoy half-board accommodation. Please ask about other options.

Luxurious Town houses

Our town houses are traditional Spanish living at its very best. Both are situated within 2 minutes walk of each other, in a tranquil location in walkable cobble-stoned streets near the 13th Century Arabic Castle with the Torcal Mountains as background. Well-designed & recently re-built in a Mediterranean style, with handmade Moorish tiles and full air conditioning & heating.

Both town houses are furnished as homes, with good sound & temperature insulation, natural products and original art. They are well-lit & fully-equipped, including kitchen appliances. The private roof terrace for each town house allows for year-round dining al fresco.

The location of the town houses is an unusual combination of tranquillity and accessibility. They lie in old cobble-stoned streets near the medieval castle, 5 minutes walk from the centre of Antequera, with nice neighbours, ample private parking on a wide, level panoramic road and a good daily bus service.

There is good mobile coverage, Internet ADSL, TV/DVD players, a good selection of guidebooks/novels/DVDs in English, French & Spanish, and the owners are on hand to lend advice and assistance whenever required.

In the sunny cathedral plaza, which is less than a 1 minute walk away, are the 13th Century Giant´s Gate, the Medieval Museum and the Arabic Watchtower & Castle with its gardens. This main plaza is reserved for pedestrians, festivals of blues, jazz, baroque & modern pop music, ballet, theatre and flamenco performances etc. It has a panoramic view of plains & mountains, overlooks the stream bed & the old Roman Spa Baths, and features an excellent reasonably priced pub/restaurant with European favourites & vegetarian selections. Also within 3 minutes are playgrounds, a pharmacy, a doctor, a bakery, food shops and one wonderful view after another - a photographer´s paradise.

Most of our programmes at the townhouses include bed & breakfast accommodation. Please ask about other options.
