Water, mountain, nature and adventure sports are also an important part of the coast's sporting alternatives, offering the visitor the chance to go climbing, hiking, paragliding, windsurfing, waterskiing, sailing and scuba diving, amongst many other options.

Diving: This beautiful sport allows you to appreciate the most representative species of the Malaga coastline and can be practiced mainly around Maro Cerro Gordo, in the town of Almuñecar.

Canoeing: We recommend El Chorro and the cliffs of Maro, where you can appreciate the caves and rock formations. Another good place for this sport is the Sahara reservoir, with calm waters and diverse flora and fauna.

Windsurf and kite surf: Is possible thanks to the excellent west winds that blow in the area.

Cycling: Malaga offers excellent areas for cycling, from quiet places to steep mountain roads, which will challenge even the most advanced.

Climbing: Can be practiced in the area of El Chorro which is considered one of the best places to go climbing in the entire Iberian Peninsula. It has a height of almost 1000 metres with amazing gaps. The limestone in the gorge is perfect for winter climbing.

Paragliding:  Abdalajís Valley, west of the Guadalhorce reservoir, is perfect for this sport due to eastern and western winds, apart from offering a beautiful landscape.
