Pablo Rodriguez: The Man Behind Running Costa Brava

Since I started running regularly, one of my favorite things to do when visiting a new place is to take a self-guided running tour of the area. On today’s run, I’m joining Pablo Rodriguez who is the founder of Running Costa Brava, which takes runner’s on tours of one of the most beautiful parts of the world, Costa Brava, Spain.

Our conversation was amazing, and Pablo was able to really paint a beautiful picture of what you will experience running along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Here are some of the highlights of our conversation.

• The organic creation of Run the World Adventures
• Why Pablo started Running Costa Brava
• Starting the tour as strangers, but finishing as family
• Some of the amazing historical sites you’ll see on the run, dating back over 1000 years!
• The incredible food and drink you’ll enjoy
• The best time of year to run in Costa Brava
• The level of fitness required to successfully complete the week long tour

Before talking with Pablo, I thought that this sounded like a pretty cool trip that I’d like to take at some point. But after talking with him, I can’t wait for the opportunity to head over to Spain, see the sights, and run with Pablo in person.

If you’d like some more information about this trip, please check out their website.
