Official Hotels
The recommended Hotel is the Hotel H10 Imperial Tarraco. We will soon share a code to get a discounted price.
WABBA SPAIN will NOT provide hotel accomodation to the teams, so all the teams must take care of booking their accomodation directly. Tarragona offers a wide range of different hotels you can book directly online.
Arrival and departure
Tarragona does not have an International airport so we suggest to arrive and depart from Barcelona, which is only 80km away. There is a fast train and a bus connection between Tarragona and Barcelona.
IMPORTANT: Transport between the various airports and the hotels will NOT be provided by WABBA SPAIN and each team must organize their own transfer.
Tanning and Respect for the infrastructures
We ask all contestants to pay particular attention for the venue, in particular for the backstage and the warm-up area. It is FORBIDDEN to apply the colour in the backstage. We ask everybody to apply the colour somewhere else or to take advantage of the color service available on site.
A professional tanning service will be available on site. We recommend all athletes who wish to take advantage of the service to make the reservation directly by email writing to —
Please ask for pricing at the time of reservation. The tanning service can be booked HERE.
