Almería is known for its large numbers of courses and
clubs. They are as varied as they are unique. Whichever part
of the province you head for, you will be tempted to play
a few rounds.
Horse riding is deeply rooted in the area as seen in the important
role of these animals in folk festivals. This is one of the
easiest activities to find. You can choose to ride either
on beaches or in the mountains.
Windsurfers are a common sight as they cut through the waves
of many Almerian coves. Probably, the most popular centre
can be found at the Ensenada de San Miguel near the town of
El Ejido.
Popular water sports, like skiing and jet ski are found in
most of the quiet waters of Almería´s river coast.
Climbing, trekking and potholing are carried out mainly in
the caves of Almanzora and the Karst in Yesos de Sorbas.
Winter sport enthusiasts will probably find the la Ragua Mountain
Pass, in Sierra Nevada, the most favourable setting. In this
part of Almería visitors can enjoy cross country skiing,
with less of the crowds found in other winter sport areas.
Excellent biking conditions are available in the most unspoilt
areas of the province like Sierra Nevada, Filabres, Almanzora,
Sierra Cabrera and Sierra María - Los Vélez.
This is available and the best areas are in eastern Almería.
Probably the most popular area of Almería is Los Vélez.
A large variety of boats from large to small can be found.
These come together at many marinas dotted all along the coast
of Almería. Each is a starting point from which to
sail the waters of the Mediterranean. The Marinas of Aguadulce
and Almerimar are particularly worth a visit.
The varied sea life, and the unspoilt character of its beaches
and natural areas, makes the Cabo de Gata - Níjar and
Levante zones perfect areas for skin and scuba diving. Authorisation
from the AMA is required for diving in the Natural Park of
Cabo de Gata - Níjar.
Nature walking is ideal in the open spaces of the Almeria
province. There are vast number of trails for this pastime.
These include GR-7, the European trail that joins Algeciras
with Greece, and passes through the La Ragua mountain Pass.
Nature-cultural trails can also be followed, such as the
archaeological trail at Los Millares, and the wine route through
the most important wineries in the area, as well as short
routes through many towns of the province.
