7 Days in Spain for Private Lessons (+ a Romantic Holiday)!

Hi all, I'm in Spain next month, spending time in Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona with my girlfriend.
I've booked 2 private 90 minute lessons in each city (mornings).
(Río Arena Pádel Madrid, CM Valencia Tennis Center, Nick Club Pàdel Barcelona - all walking distance from my hotels 😂).

I'm intermediate/advanced (4–4.5 on Playtomic) — technique's strong, but I'm still tactically weak: shot selection under pressure, aggressive play and court positioning as a pair are my main gaps.

A few questions for anyone who's done something similar or can advise based on knowledge:

  • With 3 different coaches, is it better to give each one a specific brief on what to work on, or just let them diagnose fresh each time?
  • Would I get more out of fewer lessons and more open/social matches instead? Worth noting -back home, coaching quality is nowhere near this level, so this trip is my main shot at real Spain level instruction for a while.

Would've loved to do a full academy week, but gotta balance the trip with my partner too 😄
