If you’re reading this post, you are probably thinking about planning a team training event for your company in the Costa del Sol. And if you’re looking to be convinced, you’re in the right place. The province of Malaga has everything you need to host team building events, which set out to strengthen relationships between colleagues, give motivation a boost and develop your employees’ skills. Does the idea of doing all this in one of the most beautiful destinations in southern Spain appeal to you? Of course it does.
The perfect weather for team building
There are a wide range of team training activities, also known as team building activities, out there. Something that doesn’t tend to be missing from these events is good weather. There’s nothing like a sunny day to put you – and your employees – in a good mood. The Costa del Sol’s namesake is the sun, and with good reason, as the province of Malaga enjoys countless sunny days every year. Team building activities are intended to improve the working climate in your offices, and what could be better than hosting them in a warm and sunny destination?
Unbeatable connections and personalised logistics
A consideration for companies organising training events on a regular basis are connections. Logistics, after all, are important. You don’t need to have any concerns in this regard in the Costa del Sol. Malaga is one of the best-connected cities in Spain, offering connections to the rest of the country and Europe. Malaga-Costa del Sol airport has flights to many European capitals, and the roads and trains make it easy to get here from Madrid or any other city in Spain.
Given that many of the province’s wonders are located outside Malaga city, you will be pleased to hear that the Costa del Sol as a whole promises excellent logistics. Taxis and buses transport passengers within destinations, and there are even private and personalised transport services available – some of them luxury – that will take your team members from one destination to another in safety and comfort.
Nature and beaches where you can unwind
Mountain chains, unique karst landscapes, miles and miles of coastline with all the services you could possibly need and boundless trails calling out to be explored make the province of Malaga a destination in its own league. You can enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities in the Costa del Sol, great news if you’re looking to personalise the training stages of your team, which you can do immersed in the natural world.
There are five stages in this: forming, storming, norming, performing and finalising. So what do you think about, for instance, an afternoon of water sports for the forming stage? Or a paintball session for the storming stage and a bike ride for the norming stage? And then you could go horse riding for the finalising stage. In the province of Malaga, you can embark on these and many more adventures in the great outdoors.
