They escaped the big freeze which gripped most of England and spent several days in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca.

The trip included a friendly match against FC Torrevieja, who play in the fourth tier of Spanish football.

Stanley won the friendly 1-0, with a goal from striker Paul Mullin.

FC Torrevieja hope Accrington's visit will lead to a long-term link-up between the clubs.

"We could transfer players and work together at Academy level."
