The laid-back lifestyle of Marbella is also accompanied with a good number of sports and recreational activities to attract everybody’s attention. Apart from the usual sports, there are a plethora of adventure games to meet your desire of thrill and excitement. Blessed with uneven geographical variation with the presence of sea, river, mountains and forests, this small resort town is an ideal place for various kinds of extreme sports.
As for adventure, Marbella and other Andalucían regions offer excellent opportunities for many adrenaline catching outdoor activities which includes, paragliding, mountain biking, rock climbing, jet skiing, quad riding, etc. Thanks to the unique climate and varied topography, if you practice sports, here is a list of choices from nature, adventure and leisure.
Marbella is one of the best places in Spain to experience paragliding while discovering wonderful landscapes of the region. Placed approximately 1,000 meters above sea level, you will get a bird watching view of Marbella’s wealth of natural wonder. Here are some highest take off points to give you ultimate pleasure amid breathtaking natural surroundings.
Unlike parachuting where you take help of a plane to be left in the air, paragliding is a little more technical while taking that first move. However, the dare to jump from a plane and fall free, sailing in the air has its own charm. Until you open your parachute and touch the land, it’s just magical to be in the sky.
Marbella scuba diving is another popular pursuit among tourists who want to discover a lot of marine life in the Mediterranean water. The clean and clear water of the area also makes it quite easy hunt for beginners. There are scuba diving schools and associations where you can learn the tricks before heading to explore the unique underwater environment.
Among others, jet skiing is one of the enthralling water sports in which you will enjoy your trip while sliding and jumping on water. Almost all beaches along the Marbella coast have facilities and instructors for this sport to make your day out more entertaining, away from the city centre and mountainous terrain. Many beach clubs in Marbella have also facilities for a range of other water sports such as cable ski, surfing, deep sea fishing and windsurfing.
A little flip from water sports, if you are a nature lover, a trekking in Sierra Blanca mountain range behind Marbella or a trekking trip along various other ecological paths – long way away from the rushed life of urban development – will surely take you to some unknown places where only Mother Nature rules the supreme.
Regions of Southern Spain also offers great prospects for mountaineering, motorbiking, cycling, rock climbing and hiking. You will find some dedicated clubs for each adventure activity and get trained yourself before moving for one. There are well arranged sports facilities waiting for you. In any of the adventure sports, it’s not merely the thrill or excitement that comes to play, but the beauty of nature which catches your enthusiasm.
