The Rafa Nadal Tour by Santander was created with the aim of complementing the sports competition with an educational aspect. In all tournaments, activities and sports games are carried out to promote fundamental values in the players for their personal and sporting development. Precisely, the values training is an essential element of the tour and one of the factors that have contributed to its unique character.
