If you are one of those who have never played golf before, you can try a golf baptism at Miguel Ángel Jiménez Golf School, an academy opened a few years ago by the international golfer from Malaga and which has become an ideal place for the smallest of the house but also for the adults to start with this sport.
On the other hand, if you are a professional golfer, Torremolinos has a 9-hole golf course, practice area and technology area to perfect your swing. Keep an eye out for hole 7, hole “Angustias” (Fear) as it is a replica of hole 12 of the Augusta National, a part of the North American Amen Corner.
Another unique experience if you have never tried it is riding a horse for the first time. At the El Ranchito Riding Center you will find a space to take a horse ride, whatever your level, from beginners to expert riders. Ask for group and personal classes and for the little ones, ask for information about the summer camps, so that they start from a young age to feel love for horses.
