Sports and leisure activities Province Of Granada

This local agency is involved in ecotourism in the nature reserves near Granada and the Sierra Nevada National Park. Maria Teresa, its founder, is a true mountain enthusiast. It has always oriented its projects towards sustainable development and respect for the environment. Thus, 5% of the price of the excursions is donated to local associations. The activities offered are suitable for all audiences, from 3-hour family excursions to high mountain climbs for the more sporty. We highly recommend it.

Since 2002, on reservation, Raúl Lozano's team has been running walking and cycling tours in and around Granada, from one to three days. For example, you can discover the places that have marked Federico García Lorca's life, such as the Huerta de San Vincente, his birthplace of Fuente Vaqueros or Valderrubio, a small village that inspired his theatre work, the Casa de Bernarda Alba, through a one-day guided bicycle tour. There are also packages with accommodation for complete stays of two to ten days for small groups (six to eight people). To discover the local heritage, hiking is also possible. It should be noted that in collaboration with Legado Andalusí, working to promote Andalusian circuits steeped in history, the entity collaborates in the publication of guides proposing cycle routes in the region.

Passionate about astronomy, Stéphane, a Swiss-Brazilian, has created a center dedicated to the subject in the province of Granada. It's the ideal place to observe the sky, thanks to Andalusia's largest astrotourism telescope, which allows you to see not only the classic planets, but also galaxies, nebulae, clusters and more. Your host's good humor will make this experience even more unforgettable. You'll also enjoy a planetarium with dedicated films to deepen your discovery. An activity that can be done in French.

Based a few kilometres southeast of Granada, the company of Bruno Pérez de Tudela and José María Boto was founded in 1997, thanks to the enthusiasm and determination of these two nature lovers. Granada Aventura offers a fairly complete range of activities that can be carried out in the Granada region, particularly in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. In winter, skiing and snowboarding occupy the playground with competent instructors. In summer, there are refreshing ravine descents, especially from the Río Verde, south of Granada, to enjoy the sublime landscapes. The serious entity even rents canoes from Pantano Canales in Güéjar Sierra. Climbing, abseiling, trekking are also part of the activities to be booked, a little further upstream, as well as easy level hikes, such as the Vereda de la Estrella, suitable for families, or more consequent for experienced athletes with, for example, the Altas Cumbres, over two days, near Carihuela and Veleta, culminating at over 3 000 m.
