Sports in Benahavis
Benahavis offers you a lot of
opportunities to practice your favourite sport.
If you like
walking the
spectacular mountainside, just take whichever dirttrack, you will
come across some magnificent views, of which the most stunning are
the ones at Montemayor Castle, the whole coastline from Marbella to
Gibraltar. And if your thing is
free climbing,
the "Las Angosturas" gorge at the entrance of the village has more
than 60 climbing routes where you can hook up.
Close to the river and next to the Gran Hotel Benahavis you'll find
the multisports complex of Benahavis, with a
swimming pool,
tennis and
paddle tennis
courts, the municipal
gym and an exquisite
football pitch.
These are open all year except the swimming pool which opens from
the middle of june until september. The
golf driving range
is just next to it.
At the entrance of the village on your right, you'll
see the roof of the sports pavillion for all
indoor sports, although this
has been a complete waste of money since it is only used for village
parties and events which need a roof,
something that happens 3 or 4 times a year.
And I could not write these lines without mentioning the
golfcourses on
Benahavis territory.
The road up to Benahavis is well used stretch for fans of
cycling, as is
the Ronda road for the real enthousiasts, and there is plenty of
mountainbiking
to do all around the area.
