During summer holidays, we always dream of escaping our hometowns and planning weeks of complete relaxation away from routine, work, studies...
What do we suggest for this summer?
Try adventure sports and transform those well-earned holidays. Typically, when we travel we consider two options - sometimes even combining them: active tourism and beach/mountain relaxation. How far do you want to go? Here are three suggestions to dive into the water and experience something new.
Water Sports
Water sports are the perfect summer alternative, letting you enjoy free time while exercising and cooling off. An excellent choice if you're a nature lover too - why? Because you can explore diverse landscapes across our geography: beaches, rivers, lagoons...
- Rafting
Without doubt, rafting is one of the most popular water sports, as riding the inflatable raft delivers pure adrenaline while tackling river rapids. Where can you do this? Rafting in Aragon is among the best options, with numerous suitable rivers. But if Aragon wasn't on your itinerary, check out rafting companies across Spain - there'll be one waiting wherever you go.
What equipment do you need? Just bring your swimwear - the company provides the rest: wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, neoprene boots, raft and paddles. Don't forget suncream - you can still get burned even if it doesn't feel hot.
- Hydrospeeding
What's the thrill of hydrospeeding? It's one of the most exhilarating river activities, especially because you face the "danger" alone. Picture this: wearing your wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and fins (provided by the company), half your body on the hydrospeed board, ready to descend with the current. Sounds daring, right?
Where can you go hydrospeeding? Aragon is ideal for this activity, for the same reasons as rafting. But you'll find options across Spain - just browse hydrospeed companies and pick your preferred location.
- Diving
Undoubtedly, a discovery dive is a brilliant way to cool off in summer, not to mention being the perfect activity to continue year-round if you enjoy it. Try this water sport just once and you'll be hooked: you'll experience weightlessness and discover landscapes impossible to see in "surface life".
If one day underwater isn't enough, consider a diving course in your nearest province. It's truly worthwhile - who knows, you might even turn professional someday.
