Valencia Region, Spain
The province of Valencia is a sensory-filled destination, and one rooted in the essence of Mediterranean living. It has what feels like an endless coastline, interior towns bursting with charm and natural landscapes. The city of Valencia has so much to offer, it is worth leaving a few days free from golf to explore.
Emilia Romagna,
Italy
The merging together of different yet complementary areas formed the region of Emilia-Romagna. It lies between the waves of the Adriatic Sea and the peaks of the Apennines, with a wonderful variety of history, traditions, landscapes, amazing gastronomy and 23 golf courses.
Sotogrande, Spain
There is something bewitching about the rolling hills of Andalucia. Olive groves stretch for miles and miles as far as the eye can see, gnarled cork oaks and fragrant symmetrical Mediterranean pines line the coastline and golf courses. In this enchanting corner of Spain sits the relatively little know oasis of Sotogrande. Valderrama may have put Sotogrande on the golf map, and will be well known by most golfers, as the jewel in the ‘golf crown’ of Spain, if not the best course in Europe, but within a radius of 5km are four other high-quality prestigious courses. Sotogrande really has become the focus of the very best in Spanish golf.
