Kite-boarding on the Costa Tropical de Granada
The Costa Tropical de Granada might not be the first place that comes to mind when considering a venue for a kite-boarding holiday, but during the winter months of November to March I urge you to reconsider.
Why? Well as we all know the key element of kiting is wind which, in my experience, is plentiful between November and March on the Costa Tropical. This is probably why I regularly see locals taking to the water at Almunecar, Salobrena and Motril. Don’t worry there is plenty of clear blue Mediterranean sea to go round and apart from the occasional dog walker the beaches are all but empty.
Combine this plentiful wind with sun and the cheaper rental accommodation available as it is the off season, there are even special rates for a one month stay or longer, then it is a no brainer! When the wind isn’t blowing you can always visit the sights, without the summer crowds, or simply sit on the beach in the sun.
If the usual tourist bit is not your scene then there’s the fact that the ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada are just 90 minutes away. So if you get bored of the beach and the sea you can go kite-boarding in the snow, perfect!
