SPURS stars including Christian Eriksen, Fernando Llorente and manager Mauricio Pochettino are grinning ear to ear on their Spanish break.
Tottenham are on an eight-day warm-weather training trip following their 4-0 win over Everton as they prepare to take on Southampton on Sunday.
Spurs sit fifth in the Premier League, opening up a five-point gap on sixth-placed rivals Arsenal.
Pochettino's men were put to work in Catalonia, as they did some work on the mats, while being put through their usual cardio drills.

Poch claimed: “I’m very happy. I thought the performance was amazing and I congratulate Harry one more time.
“He can achieve all that he wants because of his willingness to work.
