Co-founders of Nomatrail — a passionate husband-and-wife team with roots in Costa Rica and Catalonia, now based in Girona, Spain. What started as a career in IT and travel evolved in 2011 into a lifelong mission: turning our love for running into life-changing journeys.
With more than 12 years of experience designing and leading international trail-running expeditions, we’ve built a reputation for crafting journeys that combine challenge, culture, and deep personal growth.
We started in the rugged beauty of Costa Brava, guiding small groups on scenic runs by the Mediterranean. But as word spread, so did our reach—and ambition. Since 2011, we’ve personally led and operated trail-running experiences in Costa Rica, Morocco, The Spanish Pyrenees, Italy, France and other Europen regions.
Through our previous project, Run The World Adventures, and now as Nomatrail, we’ve guided hundreds of runners across continents. Our focus has always been the same:
create meaningful, local, and safe experiences that leave a mark far beyond the finish line.
At Nomatrail, running is not about racing — it’s about meaning.
Our adventures are grounded in a shared belief that travel, when done consciously, can transform us. Whether you’re crossing a jungle, a mountain pass or a desert valley, we design every step around these values:
with nature, with yourself, and with those who run beside you.
We don’t outsource. We integrate. When we say "local", we mean family.
physical effort unlocks mental clarity and emotional openness.
We seek real moments, real people, real places. No filters. No crowds.

We believe you can’t truly explain a place unless you are part of it.
Being a local means saying things like:
“This is where my children go to school.“
“Say hello to my friend or neighbour.“
That’s the kind of connection we offer.
Each journey is built alongside people who live the stories of the land — not just know them. Our routes don’t follow a script. They follow memories, relationships, trails we’ve walked a hundred times.
You’re not a tourist here. You’re a guest.
One of the most meaningful ways we’ve found to truly belong wherever we go is through language. Spanish and Catalan are our mother tongues and we also speak English, but language for us is much more than just words, it’s a bridge to connect with people, to understand their stories, and to be welcomed not as tourists, but as one of them. Pablo also speaks Italian and Amazigh, and Cristina speaks Arabic. We are not tourists passing by, but travelers embracing sharing smiles, stories, and everyday moments with locals, they know us.
