A typical day starts with breakfast at the hotel restaurant, then a transfer to whichever facility you are using that day. If you are on the track, the 250-metre wooden velodrome is booked for your session; if you are riding BMX, the 420-metre Supercross track with 8-metre and 5-metre starting hills is ready; if you are on the road, you head out on low-traffic routes towards the coast or into the mountains. Lunch is back at the hotel or packed for the road, and afternoons can include a second session, gym work at a partner gym in Anadia, or recovery at the hotel pool.

What makes this different from a standard cycling holiday is the facility access. The velodrome was designed by Peter Junek and meets international requirements for FPC, UEC and UCI competitions. The BMX track, built by Clark & Kent, is the only Olympic-standard track in the Iberian peninsula and southern Europe with both Supercross and Challenge ramps. The XCO course sits on a small wooded hill with different paths and difficulty levels. You are not sharing these with the public on a fixed schedule; Sunlive books them for your group.

The team is led by Lucas Gonzalez, general director of Sunlive Group since 2007. Sunlive has worked with Olympic and World champions for over ten years, and riders such as François Pervis (7x World Champion and Olympic medallist) and Kelsey Mitchell (200m sprint world record holder) are associated with the programme. The staff is multilingual and handles transfers, laundry, equipment hire and mechanical support.

Anadia itself is in the Bairrada region, about an hour south of Porto. The hotel is in the town centre, and the cycling facilities are a short drive away. The area has a mild climate that Sunlive describes as never too cold or too hot, which is why teams use it for winter camps. The beach at Praia de Mira or Barra is about 30 minutes away, and the Serra da Estrela mountains are within reach for longer road rides.
