If, for you, the word “holiday” rhymes with “doing nothing”, you may not find what follows particularly interesting. If, on the contrary, you are looking for sporting activities, or even thrills, you will be delighted to read this article, which is brimming with ideas. They may even give the first group a few ideas too!
Grab your sports gear and a bottle of water, we are off to discover the sporting activities on the Costa Blanca.
Water sports
These inevitably take first place on the podium of sporting activities. The sea is the ideal “playground” for a great many sports, with an ever-increasing rush of adrenaline.
Whether you are on the “on the water” team or the “under the water” team, you will find the one, or ones, that suit you.
On the water, you have various options. Fans of “natural” speed will take to sailing, windsurfing, canoeing or kitesurfing. Sailing and canoeing can be enjoyed as a pair or with the family. Windsurfing and kitesurfing will certainly appeal to the more solitary types in search of speed.
Fancy discovering the local flora and fauna ? Many diving clubs offer introductory sessions and outings at sea. We warmly recommend that you get in touch with one of them, who will be able to guide and equip you properly.
A fan of motor sports? How about trying an outing at sea on a jet ski? Guaranteed thrills, on your own or as a pair.
Do you want to try another experience? Then give parasailing a go and take in the sea and the beaches seen from above. You may even manage to spot your home in the distance.
Otherwise, of course, walking or running along the sea, or quite “simply” swimming are activities accessible to everyone, which can be enjoyed whenever you like and without too much specialised equipment.
Don't forget to protect yourself from the sun with a suitable sun cream. Yes, that's our “protective and motherly” side coming out with our clients!
Golf
One of the favourite activities of people who decide to find themselves a base in Spain is golf. The advantage of the Spanish climate is that it doesn't force you to check the weather forecast constantly to find out whether the game planned for the next day is still on! Fancy discovering the finest golf courses in the region? Read, without further delay, our article dedicated to the best golf courses in Spain.
Cycling
For the length of an outing, take the place of a cyclist on “la Vuelta” and choose a route suited to your level thanks to TripAdvisor.
More of a mountain biking enthusiast? You won't be left out. Our little preventive side warns you about the heat and advises you not to plan an outing during the hottest hours.
Paragliding
Still after some thrills? Then paragliding is the activity for you. We have found for you a site with offers and images that really make you want to overcome any fear of heights!
Flamenco
We agree with you, it is a bit of a cliché, but how could we not mention this activity when you are in the country? To immerse yourself in the local culture, practise your Spanish and make new acquaintances, there is nothing better than flamenco.
Of course, team sports are not to be outdone. In a country where football is sacred, you will no doubt find a club if you fancy training to take the finest corners of your life!
For you, being able to take part in one activity or another close to your home may be essential.
Your Secundo agent will take this into account in order to suggest properties on the Costa Blanca that meet one of these criteria.
