Most of the sports in the Axarquía and the eastern part of
the Costa del Sol are in direct contact with 
nature.
An excursion into the mountains of the Sierras de Almijara and Tejeda is
an unforgettable experience. It is still possible to find places almost
untouched by man, the fauna is exceptional with the special attraction
of the mountain goat. Some of the villages organise walking 
excursions
for those who want to come into direct contact with the mountains. Wherever
you are, you can look down onto the wide strip of the Mediterranean coastline.
Many hunters are attracted by the small game and near the coast there are
trails where you can horse ride or learn to ride if you don’t already know.
Añoreta golf, the first golf course in the Axarquía is already
operating near Rincón de la Victoria and there are projects for
more courses in Nerja and Torrox. In some of the villages there are excellent
sports facilities that can also be used by visitors, there is a project
for an Olympic sports centre in Torrox. On the almost 200 urbanisations
scattered all along the eastern part of the Costa del Sol you will find
swimming pools and tennis courts, not forgetting that you can windsurf
off all the beaches. The beaches and coves at Nerja and Maro are perfect
for scuba diving and fishing.
