Spain will be represented by 19 players in the Grand Prix de Landes, which takes place from July 22 to 25 at the Hossegor course, a tournament historically favorable to Spanish victories, most recently achieved by Carlos Pigem in the 2009 edition.
In the men's category, the Spanish presence has suffered on this occasion due to the near coincidence with the Spanish Absolute Championship, although, despite this, nine players will be present in Hossegor: Nicolás Aparicio, Víctor Bertrán, David Borda, Xavier Errea, Daniel Galindo, Manuel Gil Castro, Miguel Márquez, José María Orozco and Víctor Pérez.
The Spanish contingent in the women's competition is led by Teresa Caballer, Sonia Cólogan, Marina Erice, Ana Fernández de Mesa, Paula Guridi, Teresa Nogué, Nerea Salaverría, Mercedes Tellechea, Cristina Turégano and Teresa Urquizu.
In the last edition of this Grand Prix de Landes, Carlos Pigem won the title while Pedro Oriol was third, the same position achieved by Anna Arrese in the women's category.
Previously, Azahara Muñoz from Malaga extended Ane Urchegui's two consecutive victories in 2008 and continued the successes achieved in previous years by Carlos Pérez Barberán from Barcelona (2006), Jordi García del Moral (2005), Iñigo Urquizu (2004), Ignacio Sánchez Palencia (2003) and Sergio García (1997).
