Swimming, SUP and water sports in Anfi and Patalavaca
Categories: For families | For adventurers
📍 Google Maps Anfi del Mar
🌐 Luis Molina Watersports
The sea between Patalavaca and Anfi del Mar is perfect for swimming:
There is a marked 700-metre stretch with buoys where you can safely swim your laps.
Anfi del Mar is also a small hotspot for water sports.
You can rent a SUP board, kayak or pedal boat there on the spur of the moment or experience a little more action with jet skiing or parasailing.
We like to go swimming there ourselves early in the morning – when the sea is calm and the sun is just rising over the water.
Yoga by the sea

📍 Google Maps Meeting point
Twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays around 5:30 pm, there is an open yoga class at sunset on the beach in Arguineguín.
The teacher speaks English and Spanish, the group is diverse and there is often a gentle sea breeze – the perfect moment to switch off.
- Participation: donation basis or small contribution towards expenses
- Meeting point: At the end of the beach by the large palm tree
If you fancy an hour of relaxation with a sea view, you should definitely try it out – it’s also very suitable for beginners.

📍 Petanca Square
There are two new padel courts in the Arguineguín sports center, which can be booked by the hour.
There is also a public petanca court near the harbour, where locals and holidaymakers meet for casual games, especially in the afternoons.
If you want to get in touch with nice people from the area, Petanca is a charming option – without any pressure to perform.
Arguineguín skate park

At the entrance to Arguineguín there is a small, modern skate park with ramps and rails.
It is particularly popular with teenagers and young adults.
In the evenings you often meet locals there – it’s a nice place to meet, even just to watch.
Hiking and nature experiences
Categories: For families | For nature lovers | For active seniors
📍 Hiking center “La Juventud de Mogán”
After Arguineguín, an extensive network of hiking trails begins, leading up into the mountains.
The path through the Barranco de Arguineguín up to the Soria reservoir is particularly beautiful – a varied tour with great views.
The hiking center “La Juventud de Mogán” provides up-to-date information and maps of the most beautiful routes.
We recommend starting early in the morning and taking plenty of water with you – the sun can quickly become strong in the gorges.
