ACTIVE MOUNTAIN TOURISM

This brings many benefits, contact with nature, escaping pollution and the noise of the city ... The organism "charges batteries" not only to physical level but also mental, but do not be fooled by how accessible it seems since there are a series of recommendations before you start walking.
    • Footwear: it must be suitable for the surface on which you are going to walk.
    • Clothing: it is important to bear in mind that the weather in the mountains can change unexpectedly so it is important to wear layers to be able to adapt to the conditions that one may encounter.
    • Sun protection: not just because the beach is far away, does it mean that you have to forget about sunscreen.
    • Paragliding: enjoying the landscape from a bird's eye view is a privilege that only some have. Certainly few tourists are going to be able to retain these sights in their retina. Paragliding is a sport discipline that requires skill and technical knowledge and that has to be learned before embarking on an adventure. For those who want to try it and enjoy it. of the experience there is the "two-seater" mode where you just have to let yourself go and "fly".

ACTIVE BEACH TOURISM

• • • Walking: stepping on the sand while feeling the caress of the sea waves is a pleasant sensation for many. Feet have very few occasions to step on the ground directly (except that of the home itself), and the sand is not only exceptional but also healthy. The muscles of the feet in general are worked little and when walking on the sand they are activated, it improves blood circulation, the muscles are toned, there is a natural exfoliation and the fact of doing it near sea water provides the benefits of the minerals that this contains. Highly recommended for people of any age to do active beach tourism.
  • • Paddlesurfing: seeing on the horizon figures that move “standing up” through the sea waters until recently could seem strange but the number of practitioners of this modality is on the rise. Paddling along the coast offers a unique view of it while many muscle groups are worked and the cardiovascular system is gifted with important benefits. Rowing standing up forces you to remain stable in an environment that is not in itself, so you have to gain stability based on global muscle work. Arms, legs, abdomen and back are some of the muscles that are activated to be able to advance on the table.
