Friday/Saturday/Sunday 6-8 July 2007



Follows the Eurotour, stay an extra day on the Costa del Sol and take part.

Once again in Spain but this time in the north, nice part of the country and not sweltering hot as it is in the south this time of year.

Ryanair fly to Santiago de Compostela which is the nearest airport.

Tournament starts at 6.00 pm on Friday 6th July so hopefully you could get morning flights, your return should be scheduled for the Monday as the final will be on Sunday evening, probably late.
