The Valley of Abdalajis is ideal for the sport of
hang-gliding, to such an extent that the area is known as the capital
of this sport. With excellent weather all the year around and ideal
geographical conditions for flying, many people come here to practice
this and other sports associated with free-flight. Trekking, cycling
and climbing are also popular sports here too, with more than 75
climbing routes in the Sierra de Abdalajís, varying in difficulty from
III to 6b+. With three trekking routes and three mountain-bike lanes,
the Valle de Abdalajis is one of the most ideal places for sportspeople
to spend a holiday.
Hotel Antequera Golf with it's fabulous 18 hole course, is about 30 minutes away. There are many other courses along the coast.
Skiing in the Sierra Nevada is approximately 2 hours away.
