Cordoba Leisure

Throughout Andalucía, mountaineering and rock climbing are very popular sports. Subética Cordobés in Cordoba is a favourite among many climbers. If you require any maps, routes or information about mountaineering clubs and events, the Spanish Mountaineering Federation can be contacted at: Calle Alberto Aguilar, 3-4 iz, Madrid 28015. When you are climbing in an area that is unfamiliar to you, it is very important to have an experienced guide. You will be able to find excellent guides at local climbing schools. There is not an advanced mountain rescue service in Spain, so this needs to be taken into consideration, especially if you are not an experienced climber. For the less adventurous, there are many hiking trails throughout the city and into the Spanish countryside and beyond.

Paragliding and motorised paragliding have become increasingly popular in Cordoba. The weather conditions are ideal and there is some stunning scenery to view from the air.

Cordoba and the surrounding Andalucían areas are home to a large number of caves, many of which are not well known. Some are open to the public, and for those who don’t suffer from claustrophobia, it is a great opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the caves.

Other sporting and leisure activities can be enjoyed at the sport complexes and gymnasiums that are located across the city. Most of these can be used by non-members, but it is always worthwhile to check in advance.
