PLAYING GOLF
Spain is the market leader in Europe when it comes to golf. Thousands of golf enthusiasts have been choosing Spain to spend their golf vacation for years. The most obvious reason is of course the pleasant climate and good accessibility from all European airports. The country has distributed more than 300 golf courses, of which about 70 can be found on the Costa del Sol. It is not without reason that the Costa del Sol is also called Costa del Golf.
The nearest Golf clubs are:
+ Baviera Golf www.bavieragolf.com
+ Añoreta Golf www.anoretagolf.es
These two courses were both designed by Jose Maria Canizares, the well-known Spanish golfer from Madrid who has played for the European Ryder Cup team four times, five European PGA tours and two World Championships.

horseriding
​
In the area you can enjoy horseback riding in nature. Highly recommended, even if you have no experience. The routes lead through the beautiful country and the mountains of Nerja. On the route you drive through orchards filled with avocado, olive and all kinds of fruit trees; you can see the melons growing on the ground. You can contact Cortijo Hidalgo. The horses here are well cared for here by the Swiss-Spanish owners Heidi and Antonio. The riding is done in the Spanish western style. This means that you hardly use the reins. It takes some getting used to for the advanced riders (especially because of the enormous steel stirrups), but it is actually a relaxed way of riding, especially for an outdoor ride. Another option is Los Caballos del Josquin. With about 20 horses, this stable is on the road from Cómpeta to Canaillas de Albaida. This stable offers various possibilities for riding. The owner Eva takes you through the beautiful surroundings of Andalusia with everything it has to offer. Eva speaks Spanish, German and English.
