Skiing
The area is ideal for anyone wishing to don the hiking boots, or for the casual walker. The GR7 long distance footpath runs up the hill behind the village and then on to Lanjaron. There are countless paths and tracks that run through woods, forests and beside streams. For anyone who is wary of venturing into the hills in a strange country I can recommend Alan, who lives in the next village of Niguelas, he can arrange to take you on a walk suitable for your level of experience.

Swimming
There are a number of pools around in the surrounding villages of Padul and Lecrin but they tend to only open in July and August. We have found a new Thermal pool in the village of La Malaha about 15 miles away, it has a restaurant and bar, and appears to be open throughout the summer from 11a.m. until 8p.m. Daily.

There are two golf courses in the area, an 18 hole course in Las Gabias 8 km southwest of Granada, it has a restaurantand social club. and there is a 9 hole course near the beach near Salobrena suitable for a knockabout, it has a bar and restaurant attached.
