Good generic training spot in Europe?

connundrum

Myself and the brother were thinking of jumping a Ryanair off to somewhere for a few days of dedicated training to kickstart the summer.

Anyone any experience of places of - literally anywhere - in Europe? I'm not sure of anywhere in Ireland?!

Ideally there'd be a good gym we could access, decent bikes we could use, and then decent hiking opportunities/beach.

Cheers!

Sorry I should have specified - nothing specifically

Just looking for a place which facilitates activity.

How about Dingle, Co Kerry.

Gym : West Kerry Fitness is as good a gym as anywhere. Incredible set up. Has everything you could need in lots of space. I've no experience with them but the trainers are supposed to be very good too so could give you some ideas, program etc

Bikes : I know you could rent a bike in the town but not too sure what type of bike they have. You might be looking for top of the range carbon road bikes?
If you can bring your own though you won't need to rent. Loads of good cycles in the area. Conor Pass and Slea Head spring to mind. You could contact dingle cycling club for more info there.

Hikes : loads of options here. Mount Brandon or drive over to Carrrauntoohil are two that I have done. Could visit tourist office for more info.

Better than going to Europe as you would save money and time on the travel. It's actually a holiday I have been planning for years but have only done the hiking part so far. Going to get the bike down this summer.

Kerry is great. But the accent.

It's prob Brown's in Vilamoura he's after. Good spot.

Club La Santa has a good reputation, there are also a lot of places in Portugal that make good training bases.
