Even the weekend rain didn´t dampen the spirits, as twenty four teams from the 17 autonomous regions of Spain came to the Orihuela Costa, the Spanish National Beach Volleyball championship was a clear success from day one.
The competition was held on the La Glea beach, which offered an ideal platform to host the five courses, where teams of both men and women battled it out to be crowned number 1.
From dusk until dawn, the competition was endless, as the eager audience watch on from the purpose built seating areas. In fact, on the first day alone, typically the quietest as many would-be spectators might be working, some 300 people still managed to make it and see the action from the 20 games unfold in front of them.
As the event was televised across Spain, it did serve as a showcase to the quality surroundings of Orihuela and the coast, with many of the teams and their entourage visiting for the first time, the Councillor for Tourism had made a concerted effort to try to promote the value of the region to these visitors, with many hopefully returning in the future as this tournament came to a close, leaving a footprint in the sand of another first for the coast, and the benefits of the money spent by these new, just out of season visitors.
