Sports and activities in Mojácar

Mojácar is an excellent choice for cycling. Thanks to its well surfaced roads with little traffic, which combine hilly and flat stretches, many national and international professional cycling teams train here. Especially during the winter, they take advantage of the mild climate and the lack of rainfall.

Fans of this sport also find Mojácar the ideal destination thanks to a route that runs through landscapes of great beauty by the sea in such special places as the Cabo de Gata Nature Reserve and the Tabernas Desert.

Mojácar's 17 km of coastline and its mild climate all year round make it the best place to practice all kinds of water sports related to the sea.

But not only that, the Cuevas del Almanzora reservoir located in the heart of the Tabernas Desert offers a unique experience to enjoy sports such as rowing or water skiing in an exceptional setting surrounded by the aridity of the Almerian terrain.

Mojácar is one of the places in Europe where you can enjoy golf the most days of the year thanks to its classic Mediterranean climate with a very mild winter, with many hours of daylight and almost no rainfall.

The golfer can enjoy up to 5 first class golf courses located in the surroundings of the municipality very close to the sea and perfectly equipped. Without a doubt it is one of our favourite sports!

Paddle tennis is one of the most popular sports in Spain thanks to its dynamism and its ability to be enjoyed as a couple. With numerous brand new courts recently built to practice it at any time of the year under the Mojácar sun, this sport has replaced tennis as the king of rackets generating a real passion.

The game consists of using the paddle to pass the ball to the opponent's court allowing only one bounce in our court and playing with the walls that surround the court. If we manage to stop our opponent from returning the ball to our court, we win the point. Have you really not tried it?

Lawn bowls, also known as lawn bowls or bowls in the UK and Australia, where it is a very popular sport, is a precision game whose objective is to slide balls that are somewhat asymmetrical so that they are as close as possible to a smaller white ball (called "jack", "kitty", "gato" or "sweetie"), something similar to traditional Spanish petanque!
