While on Costa Blanca perhaps you are looking for outdoors games and sports. Today when you rent a holiday villa in the Valencia region the new rules allow the house owner to do so for 10 nights for the same group of people. For more days the rentals are under another kind of non tourist contract. i.e a short term contract aimed at other aims than mere tourism. So if you come to Alicante to study, work or perhaps train then I think it is ok.
Alicante is as we know great for off season training with many hours of sunshine and nice winter climate. Perhaps you are ok with the 10 -11 days that you can stay. Below I will give you ideas of sports and outdoor games you can do, once a day for ten days.
Outdoors and facilities
- Play paddle tennis in Rojales. You can book at the municipality. On their site you can find a lot of other fun sport events and activities
- One day dlay Tennis at the tennis courts close to the center of Ciudad Quesada
- A must is to play boule at the local and municipal boule club in Rojales. Or find one of the many boule pitches in Ciudad Quesada, Benijofar and in Rojales-
- Skateboard at one of the many municipal sport facilities in Ciudad Quesada
- Futbol sala or Basketball , close to Villa Balea at the Norwegian school there is a sport area
Nature fun and outdoors
- Go to La Marina Beach, at the very end you reach las Salinas de Santa Pola. Nice hike in nature reserve
- Go for a run on the beach or along the river segura
- Explore climbing or hiking in the hills. There are many local climbing associations and hiking groups if you want to join the locals. Always a good idea if you are not familiar with the terrain.
- Try Frisbee on the beach or frisbee golf. Not sure if there is frisbee golf in Alicante but I will keep my eyes open.
- last day before the flight leaves take a long walk in the green area el Recorral or in the Guardamar hills
Fitness in Villa Balea
You can also do fitness in the Villa Balea garden. Find a good online trainer and take out a training mat. I link to video that Jeanette Stenquist made on her visit to Villa Balea. She is a personal trainer with great programmes online ( In Swedish)
