02 / Glasgow football, meet Spain
Why Greater Glasgow clubs train inside La Liga.
Scottish youth football is technically demanding and intensely supported by family travel. A Spain tour from Glasgow is the most cost-effective European football experience available to a Scottish club, and the cultural reception in Spain to a Scottish travelling group is unmatched. Glasgow school holidays in October, February and Easter are the windows we run most Scottish groups through.

03 / Three reasons Glasgow teams pick Spain
01
Glasgow direct service to Barcelona, Alicante and Madrid means the tour starts on day one with a training session, not a layover.
02
Spanish coaching method and Scottish development pathways have more overlap than either country usually credits. The exchange is real.
03
Scottish school holidays land in the quieter La Liga training calendar, giving Odisea access to better facilities at lower vendor rates.
