Solution: do your activities at night. But is that even possible? Absolutely! And summer nights are ideal—cooler temperatures add a dash of mystery or romance to these experiences, depending on your perspective.
Let’s cut to the chase: here are the top options for summer nights. Sometimes, the best plans shine brightest after sunset.
Night Kayaking
The moon casts its glow over the vast sea, and kayaking is the perfect way to admire the night’s finest attire—starlit skies and rhythmic waves. Paddle at your own pace or join a guided tour to focus purely on the magic.
Some operators, like Active Andalusia, elevate the experience with high-end telescopes, especially during full moons—when the scenery is even more breathtaking.
Top spots for night kayaking? The Arcos de la Frontera reservoir in Cádiz or La Breña II in Córdoba.
Guided Tours
Evening strolls are a summer staple, especially to escape indoor heat in cities like Madrid. Here, Madrid a 1 Paso leads the pack with routes steeped in mystery, history, and romance.
Highlights include ghostly tours of Madrid—visit the Linares Palace or the House of Seven Chimneys, home to spirits like Elena or Raimundita. Fancy a thrill? Or opt for legendary Madrid, where you’ll live its tales firsthand.
Paddle Surfing
The famed stand-up paddleboarding is another stellar summer-night pick. Imagine gliding under the stars, paddle in hand.
Some, like Barcelona’s Escola Nautica Garbi, start earlier to include the sunset, followed by a barbecue.
And of course, full-moon sessions are sublime—paddle out, then lie back on your board. Tempting, eh?
Moonlit Horseback Rides
Exactly that. The name says it all. This summer’s trend? Horse rides under the moon, blending nature, vistas, and one of nature’s noblest creatures.
Madrid’s Caballos del Valle offers a unique trek through Oteruelo del Valle, led by expert riders through enchanting trails.
For horse lovers, this is summer’s unbeatable choice.
Night Hiking
Earlier, we mentioned city walks to dodge indoor heat. Now, take it further—immerse in nature’s scents and beauty after dark.
Night hiking is booming. It sharpens your senses—sounds grow crisper, scents richer. Choose full-moon hikes for visibility, or new-moon treks for stargazing. Some prefer lush trails; others, open mountains.
Madrid’s Navalmedio excels here, offering guided routes through the Sierra de Guadarrama.
So—which night-time adventure will you try this summer?
