North End's faithful descended on Benidorm once again this week as Paul Heckingbottom's preseason preparations continued.

Despite their meeting with Getafe CF ending o-o, the occasion itself was still much enjoyed by North End fans.

The fourth consecutive summer that PNE have spent a week in Spain as part of their July schedule, but for supporters-the majority of whom will have made the trip before - the novelty and excitement remains.

The Oliva Nova Sports Center is around an hour from Benidorm, where the vast majority of PNE fans have been staying, and more than three coaches made the trip down to the Valencia region.
