Located near to the entrance of the La Manga strip and Cabo de Palos, this not one of those small cheap courses you see on many Spanish seaside resorts but a large professional complex called Go Kart La Manga. There are three different circuits: Adult, Junior and Infant. There is lots of terraced seating. You can enjoy the wonderful views of the Mar Menor and a panoramic view of the circuits.
Skiing/snowboarding
Many people only associate Spain with sand and sun and are surprised to find that Spain also offers a wide range of winter sports. Spain's number one location for winter sports, the Sierra Nevada is located approximately 2 hours drive away.
Located above Granada, it has the best snow and the longest season in the country. The ski resort Pradollano in the Sierra Nevada which hosted the 1996 World Alpine Ski Championships holds the distinction of being Europe's most southerly ski resort (you can see Morocco on a clear day!) It's an ideal resort for those seeking a taste of Spain combined with all the services and facilities you'd expect to find in popular Alpine ski villages. Sierra Nevada has 61km of ski slopes with 45 pistes and 6 off-piste routes.
There are 2 cable cars, 12 chair lifts and 5 ski lifts. You can even ski at night at weekends and bank holidays. Night skiing was introduced in 1994 with lighting along the El Rio slope (3km/545 vertical drop). If you have never been to Sierra Nevada because you haven't got the essential gear, then that's no longer a valid excuse for everything you need can be hired on a daily basis. If your excuse is that you can't ski then forget that too for there is no shortage of schools that will assist everyone from beginners to experts.
With the resort being just 30 minutes away from the city of Granada, nowhere else in the world can you be playing golf in the sun then within such a short time, be skiing or snow?boarding at a top resort. As well as snowboarding Sierra Nevada offers many other winter sports including cross?country skiing, artistic skiing (ballet, jumps, moguls), telemark skiing, trekking and adventure skiing.
Pleasure flights
Take to the air and look at mountains, beaches, magnificent views, property developments, national parks and more. Custom sightseeing experiences and flying lessons can be arranged for a day to remember. For a unique experience try power gliding. Take off and land using the engine, but use the extra lift from the wide wings and soar on thermals without the engine to incredible heights with astounding views. How about something more... what about the planning, preflight preparation, aircraft preparation, briefing and weather.
Spend a half or whole day with us for the 'complete' day of flying with the added extra of understanding and being involved in all that goes on to make it happen. A day's adventure with lunch at the beautiful Beas de Segura airport restaurant, all under the expert guidance and safety of a highly experienced.
