Sport & Activities

Watersports: The warm, clear sea is excellent for underwater fishing, diving, snorkelling and swimming. Facilities for water-skiing and windsurfing are also available from beaches or from hotels.

Other: There are numerous tennis courts (often owned by the hotel or attached to apartments), golf courses and riding stables. Spectator sports include jai-alai, the stick game (a sort of fencing with long poles), Canaries wrestling and the garrocha which is especially practised on the island of La Palma.
