After a lot of thought I made a bold decision to join Pat's padel trip to Barcelona. I'm not an experienced player and was worried I would hold everyone back. I couldn't have been more wrong! The UK and Spanish players were brilliant and the coaching was a real accelerator for my own skills. I would not hesitate to recommend to those with little experience to join. And of course the rest of the trip was awesome too! Fun, sun, food and lovely people. Go for it.

Barcelona... what can I say... it was utterly awesome! Such amazing attention to detail... from the boutique hotel to the ease of access to padel courts... to the fantastic coaching... amazing food & wine... there is too much to mention! The best value for money with a fantastic group of people who I now call friends x this trip is a MUST for ANY padel enthusiast! X ❤️

What a smashing padel trip to Sevilla......sport, sunshine, sightseeing, socialising, special suppers & sparkling wines! This trip was sensational. Thanks so much to Pat for making it incredibly special. Her amazing organisation and enthusiasm, beginning with arranging a pre-tour group padel game, daily trip itineraries, arranging transport to the courts, great local coaching and matches with local players and ending with delicious dinners every evening was brilliant. Pat thinks of everything and her planning is meticulous, add to that her fabulous people skills ensuring everyone’s needs are met and the result is the most enjoyable, stress free and fun experience.
I loved the coaching skill sessions with local instructors – we did 4 sessions per day in small groups, which really gives you the chance to practice shots and learn new skills. That sounds intense (and it was) but everyone managed it, whatever playing level or age. After a relaxing well-earned lunch laid on at the clubs, we played matches against local Spanish players which was a real learning experience (boy does the ball bounce high when it’s not soggy and soaking underfoot) Everyone was so friendly, the matches a high standard and my game improved in leaps and bounds.
Off court, we got the chance to explore the beautiful city or sit and relax in the sun and we enjoyed a well-earned glass of wine or two in the evening, followed by delicious dinners organised by Pat, to give us a real taste of tapas and Spanish cuisine.
Whether you’re new to padel or looking to go pro, in a couple or travelling by yourself (I was), a Padel Roots trip with Pat is perfect and so much fun. Can’t wait for the next one. Muchas gracias Pat.

I joined a Padel Roots trip to Costa Brava and will be going again next week, this time to Barcelona. Everything was meticulously planned by Pat and resulted in great quality padel, accommodation and dining experiences. Would recommend to anyone who wants a stress-free padel experience

I have been fortunate to go on two padel roots trips; Barcelona and Tenerife. Both were amazing!! Filled with everything you would want out of a short break. Great padel, great food, great locations and most importantly, great fun! Pat has a natural skill with people and making sure everyone has a wonderful time and does such a fantastic job of mixing the right people together. For someone like me, that likes to keep busy, it's a great way to get away and learn more about padel. The combination of playing with coaches and locals is a really great touch as the Spanish are obviously the best padel players. To top it off, the experiences outside of padel make the down time so interesting. Whether it's learning more about the culture and exploring the local area, or just finding a good bar before heading to a specially selected restaurant to have a delicious dining experience.
All in all, I couldn't recommend Pat and her trips enough, and I can't wait to go on the next one!! 😎🥳🤩

We had a fantastic long weekend in Barcelona improving and playing Padel with Padel Roots Events.
The 3 day trip was organised by Pat with lots of attention to detail, 2 detailed coaching sessions and 3 game sessions against local Spanish players. The evenings were spent in fabulous restaurants hand-picked by Pat. We had a fantastic group of fellow “improvers” and throughout felt the whole weekend was really well organised, and lots of fun!!! Throughly recommended !!

I have attended 3 Padel Roots Tours in Barcelona, the Costa Brava and Tenerife.
The hotel accommodation was well chosen as were the restaurants and additional activities.
Playing Padel with friends, local Spanish club players and receiving top instruction really helped on my improvement quest and I would highly recommend Pat and her extended coaching team. Enjoy.

A weekend of top quality Padel coaching, with plenty of Padel practice and fun matches. Add sun and fabulous food, all set in stunning Spanish locations…what could be more perfect?
Hubby and I visited the Costa Brava on one of Pats specialist Padel weekends.
She was determined that everyone got the most from their time there, and curated some truly special places to eat and visit in our downtime. …and how much would I recommend these weekends? Well, hubby and I are off for another in Sevilla in a few weeks.

I was lucky enough to attend the Padel Roots trip to the Costa Brava last year.
As a relatively inexperienced player I was slightly apprehensive before attending but had a really enjoyable trip, with many hours of Padel (great coaching and playing matches) balanced with some downtime and fabulous group meals organised by Pat. Her enthusiasm, love and knowledge for all things Padel and all things Spain is truly infectious. I will be attending another trip this year and would definitely recommend!
Andrei Saleviev
I loved our Costa Brava Padel trip in October. The trip was well organised by Pat with the help of Nick, from start to finish! Everything went perfectly smooth. The group, the weather, the location, the programme! It was the right balance of Padel, entertainment and relaxation. One of the best moments was playing against and with the locals. Really enjoyed it and would strongly recommend to others!

I have participated in two overseas trips with Padel Roots Events, one in Madrid and one in Tenerife, and both of them were highly enjoyable, well organised and very educational. Pat Gisbert was an excellent host and looked after every part of the trips,ensuring that everyone had fun. I would highly recommend touring and learning Padel Tennis with Padel Roots UK.
Katie Jenkins
Padel Roots Events.. The Premium padel get away with fabulous hotels and superb padel facilities; every whim in Tenerife was catered for re padel coaching, padel matches, food; excursions and drinks. The coaching was 1st class. It's intense but you can do as much as you can and then stop. Pat is amazing at getting the team dynamics right. I would highly recommend Padel Roots tours 👍
Irfan Janmohamed
I recently went on a padel roots trip to Barcelona with my wife. Although our playing levels were somewhat different, Pat managed to organise us in such a way that it did not matter and so the skills coaching in the morning was very useful and of a high quality. We both found the afternoon matches with locals also very good as we could put into practice the skills we had honed in the morning but at the same time meeting some very nice people. In the evenings, the meals were of a very high quality (restaurants well researched) and Pat did an excellent job in organising is all so that we could just enjoy ourselves.
Overall a great trip and would definitely go again.
Simon & Amanda Brookhouse
We have now done 2 Padel Roots weekends. The first in Barcelona in September 22 and the most recent one Tenerife in January 23.
The format is v special. Professional Group coaching in the morning and matches against local Club players in the afternoon. Both times we played at a variety of amazing clubs. The coaches and the local players were so friendly. Patricia (who is originally from Spain) has put together two incredible itineraries with special dinners and local attractions (all optional..no pressure). It’s clear that she’s very passionate about the sport and also fully committed to ensuring that everyone has a brilliant time.
Both times a cool mix of couples and singles of mixed ages and abilities. Everything was arranged perfectly with no effort required from us.
We’re definitely going on another trip soon.

Padel fun overseas in Barcelona. Small group, learnt so much, fun too. Great coaching & mixed games with the locals. Enjoyed the culture and several amazing restaurants. 🤩😘
Mark Roddick
The 4 day trip to Tenerife proved the perfect way to quickly build up some confidence in padel. As a tennis player my transition to padel was greatly enhanced in the morning coaching sessions. And the afternoon matches against local Spanish players were great fun and taught me a few more lessons!!
The group were great fun, the dinners were fabulous, and the organisation was totally seamless. A top treat. Thx Pat
