Hiking From a walk by the beach to a real hike in the
mountains!
The hilly regions in particular invite hiking
almost year-around. You can choose between easy tours in one of the many natural parks, more
difficult mountainous tours in the Sierra Nevada, birdwatching hikes or extended walks alongside
the beach at the Costa del Luz. |

Hiking Guided hikes are offered
free of charge in Mijas Pueblo, just minutes from here.

Horse-riding,
and horse races Mijas is very proud to have
the only
professional horse-racing course in Andalusia (just 15 minutes away). Have a look at the many
events at the "Hipodromo de la Costa del Sol" |
 | |
Riding Andalusia without its famous horses,
horsebreeding and equestrian sports is unthinkable. If you would like to go riding yourself, two
stables are close-by. |
 | |
Horse-racing Did you know that the only
horse-racing course in Andalusia is close-by in Mijas? Did you ever see a horse race in the middle of
the night? In the summer they start the races at 21:00, together with music, flamenco, dancing and
betting. What a wonderful and special fiesta!

Biking Steep inclines and wonderful
descents
Professional bikers travel every year to the
south of Spain to see or to join the "Vuelta", the famous tour. But there
are tours fand biking-trips for everyone, and biking becomes more and more popular to discover this
region. Some bike tours are rather difficult to endure, others are more easy. All have in common
the great landscapes, the many quiet roads or pathes and the pure air. There is a tour from Villa
La Jamisa, crossing the hills behind, from Mijas Pueblo passing Alhaurin el Grande, Coin, Tolox,
Junquera, El Burgo up to historical Ronda. This tours also offers many opportunities to enter
the natural resort "Sierra de la Nieves". |

Biking Enjoying quiet routes, and
nature!
|
Climbing |
 | |
Climbing This sport has become a
trend in recent years, as it provides challenges every minute and the chance to test ones own
capabilitis against a harsh cliff; intense moments to forget every-day life, far away in an almost
parallel world. There is a cliff just
minutes away, as well as others in the many natural resorts around.
|
Watersports Naturally all kinds of watersports are very popular
here, and there are facilities for everything. Sailing, surfing, boating and
diving are plentiful. |

Bullfighting
Is bullfighting a sport? Or is it culture, fun,
a classic case of animal mistreating or simply disgusting? This is, has been and will be very
controversial issue, and we do not take a stand here. For many Andalusians, however, it is part of
their culture and a visit to one of the many bull-rings is still a typical family-outing on Sunday
afternoon. Maybe you should see it for yourself, at least once, and there is plenty of opportunity
to do so in Andalusia, every Sunday at 16:00.
|
 | |
Bullfighting At least a dozen nicely
build bull-rings are found in this area. The largest is in Malaga.
