Between the 12 and 20 days of November, on the tracks of the Club Vita 10, the last test of the XXª Edition of the most veteran competition of the Spanish paddle took place. It was the golden brooch to a campaign full of surprises, of novelties and of which, as the organizers pointed out: "We can not be more satisfied with the balance of it".

Among the main novelties put in place, both the Veteran Tournaments and the Team Competition should be highlighted.
And what could be highlighted from the last appointment of this 2016? Inside the tracks, the participants gave themselves to the maximum and offered a great show, like the one that could be seen in their 1st Men's Draw. In it, Sergio Alba-Kike Lagarejos added a new victory after beating Raúl Arias-Willy Castañón 6-1 and 6-2 in the grand final. On the other hand, in the Female Queen Category, Isabel Domínguez-Marta Talaván took the title by defeating Esther Lasheras-Marta Castro (6-3 and 6-1) in the decisive match.
